UCL (University College London) is London's leading multidisciplinary university, with 8,000 staff and 22,000 students. Over 140 nationalities are represented among UCL students with overseas students making up nearly a third of the student body.

Based in the heart of London, UCL was the first university in England to welcome students of any class, race or religion, and the first to welcome women on equal terms with men. This same radical spirit thrives today.

We are among the world's top universities, as reflected in a range of rankings and tables (http://bit.ly/blna9x), and our publications in clinical medicine attract more citations from fellow researchers than any other university outside North America. Our excellence extends across all academic disciplines, from one of Europe's largest and most productive centres for biomedical science interacting with eleven leading London hospitals, to world-renowned centres for architecture (UCL Bartlett) and fine art (UCL Slade School).
