University College London (UCL)

[EduCativ]

UCL is London's leading multidisciplinary university, with more than 11,000 staff and 38,000 students from 150 different countries. Founded in 1826 in the heart of London, UCL was the first university in England to welcome students of any religion and the first to welcome women on equal terms with men. We are continually investing in our teaching, learning, and study spaces across campus, the newest of which include the Cruciform Hub and the Art Deco Senate House building. UCL has 18 specialist libraries with more than two million books and subscriptions to more than 35,000 journals and historical material in Special Collections. The UCL Centre for Languages & International Education (CLIE) offers courses in 17 languages, some of which can be taken for credits towards degree programs.
UCL is one of the world's leading multidisciplinary universities. We operate in a global context and are committed to excellence, innovation, and the promotion of global understanding in all our activities: research, teaching, learning, enterprise, and community engagement. London's Global University: a diverse intellectual community, engaged with the broader world and committed to changing it for the better recognized for our radical and critical thinking and its widespread influence with an outstanding ability to integrate our education, research, innovation, and enterprise for the long-term benefit of humanity.
Insights from UCL research address the world's significant challenges – bringing benefits in health, culture, policy, business, and beyond. Individually and in collaboration, UCL experts develop insights relevant to humanity's major problems. Society reaps many benefits from their excellent research, some of which occur immediately, while others develop over years or generations. UCL is the top-rated university in the UK for research strength in the Research Excellence Framework (REF), published in December 2014, by measuring the average research score multiplied by staff numbers submitted. We submitted more than 2,500 staff to be assessed in REF 2014. Our researchers received a 'grade point average' of 3.22 (out of 4), giving UCL an overall research power greater than both the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge. We also had the greatest' impact power' (impact' grade point average' x number of staff submitted) of any university.
