UCL has 840 professors and more than 6,000 academic and research staff who are dedicated to research and teaching of the highest standards.
UCL is one of the most successful UK universities at attracting funding, with an income of more than £1 billion in 2014. This included receiving the highest allocation of Research Council UK funding and being the UK's top participant in EU collaborative research. Our academic community includes 53 Fellows of the Royal Society, 51 Fellows of the British Academy, 15 Fellows of the Royal Academy of Engineering and 117 Fellows of the Academy of Medical Sciences. Nobel Prizes have been awarded to 29 people who are or were students or academics at UCL.
52% of the nearly 36,000-strong student community is engaged in graduate studies, with nearly a third of these graduate students pursuing research degrees. UCL provides diverse study and research environment with students from 150 countries outside of UK, making up more than one-third of the student body.
UCL is proud of its longstanding commitment to equality. Our Global Engagement activities are particularly focused on making change for good with education being one of the most powerful force that we could implement.
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.
Our mission is to foster a diverse intellectual community, engaged with the wider world and committed to changing it for the better; recognised 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.
