University College London
About Us:
Welcome to UCL. Our university is a modern, outward-looking institution, committed to engaging with the major issues of our times. One of the world’s leading multidisciplinary universities, UCL today is a true academic powerhouse. UCL is among the world's top universities, as reflected in performance in a range of rankings and tables. 21 Nobel prizewinners have come from the UCL community. We have a global reach and global vision. 38% of UCL students come from outside the UK, attracted from nearly 140 countries around the globe. Much of the energy of UCL life comes from our students. We provide opportunity and leadership in teaching and research, entrepreneurship, volunteering and overseas study. We admit only excellent students and work with them to develop and excel.
UCL was founded in 1826 as a radically different university, opening up English higher education for the first time to people of all beliefs and social backgrounds. That radical tradition remains alive today. Our research strategy commits us to addressing UCL’s ‘Grand Challenges’, by working together right across the university in order to tackle the problems that face us today. UCL was established in 1826 in order to open up education in England for the first time to students of any race, class or religion. Its founding principles of academic excellence and research aimed at addressing real-world problems, inform the university’s ethos to this day. Browse the slideshow to find out more about some people and events in UCL’s history. The UCL Bloomsbury Project is piecing together a history of the people and places of Bloomsbury, and one aspect of their work – educational reform in the area – is explored here in a short film, narrated by Professor Rosemary Ashton and Dr Deborah Colville (both from UCL English).
Led by Professor Rosemary Ashton, UCL English, and Professor Anne Hardy of the Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine at UCL, the study is tracing the foundation of many local institutions, including UCL, University College Hospital, the Homoeopathic Hospital, Great Ormond Street Hospital, and the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital and Women’s Medical School. Other local 19th-century organisations are featured which reflect the social reforms of the time, including the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, the Bedford College for Women, the Working Men’s and Working Women’s Colleges, and the Passmore Edwards Settlement, which offered education and play to poor children in the area.
