ABOUT UCL

Founded in 1826 as a secular institution, UCL has always challenged preconception. We were the first university in England to admit women on equal terms with men and the first to admit students regardless of religious affiliation.

Since then, UCL has upheld these progressive ideals and has evolved as an incubator for  innovative research, interdisciplinary programmes and inclusivity.

UCL is ranked among the top 10 universities in the world by QS World University Rankings and the UK’s top-rated university for research strength in the most recent Research Excellence Framework. ³

The UCL School of Management – ranked No. 3 for business and management studies for 2022 by Complete University Guide⁴ – was founded for the 21st-century business leaders already looking to the centuries ahead. We were driven by a need to understand, analyse and address contemporary business challenges as globalisation and technology move us into uncharted territory.
