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 was ranked fourth in the world in 2009's Times Higher Education-QS rankings. 21 Nobel prizewinners have come from the UCL community. We have a global reach and global vision. 34% 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.
