Academic powerhouse
UCL was established in 1826 in order to open up education in England for the first time to students of any race, class or religion. Its founding principles of academic excellence and research aimed at addressing real-world problems inform the university’s ethos to this day. Today, UCL is one of the world’s leading multi-disciplinary universities. It operates in a global context and is committed to excellence, innovation, and the promotion of global understanding in all its activities: research, teaching, learning, enterprise and community engagement. Its central location in the capital enables close interaction with Bloomsbury’s cultural and intellectual vibrancy, Westminster and Whitehall, the City and its world-class hospital partners.
The Choshu Five(1): Japanese noblemen who came to UCL in 1863, when travel beyond Japan was banned, and UCL was the only English university open to international students. They played important roles in the modernisation of their home country on their return.
UCL was the first English university to welcome female students(2) on equal terms with men. During Apartheid, the UCL community raised funds to create scholarships for black South African students(3) to study at UCL. Today, 34% of UCL students come from more than 140 countries(4).

UCL is the largest biomedical research centre in Europe and a global leader in combined medical and health research. It combines research and teaching in medicine with clinical care and population health through partnership with four major London hospitals. UCL’s 11 associated teaching hospitals provide Londoners with first-rate healthcare. UCL is a leader in London. It sponsors of the UCL Academy – a new secondary school in Camden and is the capital’s only Beacon for Public Engagement, a nationwide initiative to get universities more closely involved with their local communities and the wider public. The most recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) rated UCL as the best research university in London, and third in the UK overall, for the number of its submissions which were considered of ‘world-leading quality’. Today, 24,000 students study at UCL. More than a third come from overseas, and 40 per cent are engaged in postgraduate study. UCL has recently opened two overseas campuses – in Australia and Qatar – and has numerous partnerships with institutions and organisations around the world, including the unique Yale-UCL collaborative, which combines the research strenghs of the two universities on a number of projects. UCL has a huge impact on the provision of healthcare and medical research, from training medics and conducting pioneering treatments in our associated teaching hospitals such as Great Ormond Street

The UCL spirit
The radical vision of UCL’s founders two centuries ago continues to inform its activities. They understood education and universities to be the key to reforming the world. They unshackled scholarship and enquiry, refusing to let religious restrictions and academic convention inhibit progress. From its earliest days, UCL challenged the prevailing limitations on the scope of academic endeavour, engaging in teaching and research in new areas as required by the emerging industrial and commercial society. It pioneered research and teaching in, for example, law, architecture, medicine, geography, physics, chemistry, engineering and modern languages.
UCL is not just for academics and students. Its huge physical and intellectual resources serve the local community and beyond, including thoughtprovoking variety nights, its four public museums, homework clubs run by student volunteers and family workshops.

The UCL community is committed to sharing its knowledge and resources with society. Its museums of art, Egyptian archaeology and zoology share their extensive and important collections with a wide-ranging programme of public exhibitions, workshops and innovative events; its famous Lunch Hour Lectures are widely claimed to be one of the best ways for Londoners to spend their lunchtimes; and its outreach activities engage school pupils about to take the leap into higher education. Throughout the year UCL hosts film nights and festivals and even has its very own West End theatre, in which student productions can be seen as well as performances featuring famous names.

UCL’s staff and students travel to many schools to host mentoring and homework clubs, and offer talks and in-class activities to support the national curriculum. You can even find them in bars: the UCL Bright Club hosts variety nights where researchers entertain and educate. Through its online presence is also committed to sharing our output with the widest possible audience: research can be read online, free of charge, and it has a presence on numerous digital platforms such as YouTube and iTunes, where lectures and podcasts can be downloaded and viewed.
Today, UCL remains committed to developing and disseminating original knowledge to benefit the world of the future. It is a world leader across the breadth of academic disciplines – from neuroscience to urban planning, particle physics to health informatics, environmental law to the fine arts – and has an ongoing commitment to innovation and relevance.

Inspiring minds
Universities thrive on the collective efforts of their scholars in tackling complex ideas that require breadth and range of expertise. But the work of unique thinkers is equally fundamental in the march of progress. UCL individuals, both past and present, have made discoveries and inventions that have changed the world. Some UCL people are household names, while other, equally brilliant thinkers are known primarily within their field. There is inspiration for all of us among UCL’s people.
The discovery of the inert gases in 1894 by UCL Professor of Chemistry Sir William Ramsay(1) led to the first of 21 Nobel Prizes so far earned by UCL staff and students.
Among them is the towering Indian literary figure Rabindranath Tagore(2), Sir Bernard Katz(3), for his work on nerve cells and their synaptic connections, and Sir Martin Evans(4) for his work on gene modification in embryonic stem cells.

Eduardo Paolozzi
Sir Eduardo Paolozzi was a sculptor and printmaker whose collage-based silkscreened images are among the finest examples of Pop art – the style he was instrumental in shaping. Sir Eduardo created many iconic works that can be seen around London – the mosaics at Tottenham Court Road underground station, the Head of Invention sculpture on the doorstep of the Design Museum on London’s South Bank, and the bronze sculpture Newton, after William Blake, at the British Library. Spartacus Chetwynd
A performance artist and painter, Spartacus Chetwynd has exhibited at some of the UK’s major art events such as Tate Triennal and Frieze Art Fair. Her energetic and infectious work is a surreal combination of spontaneity, homemade costumes and bizarre subject matter which throws together references to art history, film and pop culture, from Jabba the Hutt and Meat Loaf to Karl Marx.

Marie-Louise Newell
Professor Marie Louise-Newell (UCL Institute of Child Health) is Director of the Africa Centre in KwaZulu Natal, which conducts research on the impact of HIV infection at a population, community, household and individual level. She has developed an integrated infrastructure of demographic and socio-economic surveillance, linked to virology laboratory services and local HIV treatment and care programmes serving over 35,000 HIV infected people. The aim of the programme, with an HIV vaccine unlikely in the foreseeable future, is to assess the most effective biomedical and behavioural interventions to prevent both acquisition of infection and onward transmission. Robert Liston
In 1835, Robert Liston became the first UCL Professor of Clinical Surgery. He went on to perform the first operation under anaesthetic in Europe, amputating the thigh of a Harley Street butler, Frederick Churchill, under ether on 21 December 1846.
11
Philippe Sands
Professor of Law and Director of the Centre on International Courts and Tribunals at UCL, Professor Sands has extensive experience litigating cases before the International Court of Justice. He is a regular media commentator, particularly on the legality of war, and is author of Torture Team, about Guantanamo Bay, and Lawless World: America and the Making and Breaking of Global Rules.
Dame Mary Douglas
One of the outstanding social anthropologists of the 20th century, Dame Mary’s original thought and strong opinions have proved highly influential across disciplines and through time. Her book Purity and Danger: An Analysis of the Concepts of Pollution and Taboo was named as one of the 100 most influential non-fiction books since 1945.
12
AE Housman
Renowned poet and classicist AE Housman took up the post of Professor of Latin at UCL in 1895, an appointment made purely on the impressive strength of his scholarly articles, having failed his finals at Cambridge. His most famous work, A Shropshire Lad, was published in 1896 and has never been out of print since. Sir Peter Hall
A town planner, urbanist and geographer, Sir Peter is the Bartlett Professor of Planning and Regeneration at UCL. He is internationally renowned for his studies and writings on the economic, demographic, cultural and management issues that face cities around the globe. Sir Peter has been special advisor to the UK government on strategic planning with special reference to London and the South East regional planning. In 2003 he was named by Her Majesty The Queen as a ‘Pioneer in the Life of the Nation’.

Students with ambition
Fierce intelligence, a desire to change the world, juggling a challenging study programme, volunteer work and London’s exciting social life – UCL students have a zest for life. Coming to UCL from nearly 140 countries around the world, they share common attributes of creativity and critical thinking. They are prepared to take their subject knowledge into the community, be it to the government or local schools, and enjoy the cultural and social diversity of UCL and London life. While entrepreneurship is a budding area among the student body, demonstrations of innovation and leadership occur on an everyday basis. Whether making headlines in the press or acting as student ambassadors overseas, UCL students graduate with a wealth of experiences that make them true global citizens.
UCL students are active in many areas as part of and in addition to their studies. There are opportunities to help communities through voluntary work, a huge variety of clubs and societies, entrepreneurial activities and study abroad options.

Members of the public wishing to make gifts to serving British troops can now donate items specifically requested by individual soldiers, thanks to Kit4Troops – a unique online charity created by masters students Steve McGregor and Inaam Tahir, who met at UCL. “The idea was first tested during the London Entrepreneurs’ Challenge, hosted by UCL Advances. The creative environment at UCL helped make this idea a reality and UCL continues to provide the charity with mentorship, press office support and student volunteers.”
James Xi Xu
UCL Italian & Management Studies student James Xi Xu was named International Student of the Year 2011 at the British Council’s ‘Shine!’ Awards. He received the accolade for his impressive dedication to volunteering. In addition to his own work for the Red Cross and the Olympics, James has helped many of his fellow students establish their own projects through the UCL Union’s Voluntary Services Unit. “For me, studying is only part of student life. During term-time, I spend about 10 hours per week on volunteering. Even though sometimes it means sacrificing my free time, I still feel it’s worthwhile because I am actually helping others and making a difference.” 16
Alisha Allana
“I joined Friends of MSF when I arrived at UCL and was voted in as President two years later. Being in central London has allowed me to maintain close links with the MSF-UK office and I feel privileged to be part of such a great community at UCL.”
UCL student Alisha Allana is the president of UCL Union Friends of Médecins Sans Frontières. The society holds regular events and fundraising activities for UCL students. They recently organised a charity run in Regent’s Park, raising over £10,000 for Médecins Sans Frontières that included runners from all over the UK.
Peter Scolding
UCL medical student Peter Scolding was involved in coordinating Darfur Week at UCL, which aimed to educate the UCL community about the situation in Darfur over the previous ten years. The event provided opportunities for staff and students to learn more through readings, performances, lectures and debates while raising much-needed funds for the region.
“Participants included the Sudanese ambassador to the UK, refugees from Darfur and representatives from the All-Party Parliamentary Committee on Sudan.” 17

Research with impact
With dedication and a creative approach, academic research can be used to tackle the world’s most urgent problems – that’s what UCL believes. Its research approach is built on foundations of excellence in the fundamental disciplines, encouraging UCL people to work together and transform society with their ideas and innovations. UCL has developed a series of Grand Challenges designed to activate a response from across the university to major problems of our times, including Global Health, Sustainable Cities, Intercultural Interaction and Human Wellbeing. From legal reform to carbon capture, UCL ideas have and are changing everyday life.
UCL has had an immense impact on how we communicate today – Alexander Graham Bell(1), inventor of the telephone, studied here. UCL Chair of Electronic Technology, Sir John Ambrose Fleming(2) invented the thermionic valve, an essential component of early versions of the electronic devices we rely on today, and helped to design the radio transmitter used for the first transatlantic broadcast in 1901.
UCL computer scientist Professor Peter Kirstein first linked the US with UCL in 1973 by connecting to the ARPANET(3), the precursor to the Internet. He went on to provide the UK’s principal Internet link between the UK and the US throughout the 1980s.

Landmark larynx transplant
In one of the most complex transplant surgeries ever performed, an international team of surgeons which included Professor Martin Birchall (UCL Ear Institute) has restored the voice of a US woman who had been unable to speak for more than a decade. The larynx is an incredibly complex organ, with intricate nerves and muscles functioning to provide voice and allow breathing. The surgical team replaced the larynx (voicebox), thyroid gland and trachea (windpipe) in the 52-year-old woman who had lost her ability to speak and breathe on her own. The 18-hour operation is only the second documented case of its kind in the world. Just 13 days after the operation, Brenda Charett Jensen voiced her first words in 11 years and is now able to speak easily and at length. The procedure has also restored Brenda’s sense of smell and taste.

Redrawing the Arctic sea-ice map
Scientists at the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling at UCL have produced the most extensive map of Arctic sea-ice thickness yet, using just two months’ worth of data from the European Space Agency’s ice mission, CryoSat-2. CryoSat-2 measures the thickness of polar ice by firing pulses of microwave energy at the ice and recording how long they take to return. The satellite’s precise measurements of changes in the thickness of ice in the Arctic and Antarctica help scientists understand how melting polar ice could affect ocean circulation patterns, sea-level rise and the global climate. Data from the satellite has also helped them create an updated map of ocean circulation in the Arctic, and a topographical relief map of Antarctica.
21
Social inequality and health
Building on an earlier study of 18,000 men in the British Civil Service, Professor Sir Michael Marmot (UCL Epidemiology & Public Health) launched the Whitehall II study in 1985 to investigate the causes of social inequalities in disease by following a cohort of 10,308 working men and women. In addition to the contribution of unhealthy behaviours and traditional risk factors, such as blood pressure, the study has shown the importance of psycho-social factors such as work stress, unfairness, and work-family conflict to socio-economic inequalities in heart disease and diabetes. Its findings have stimulated sister studies in many countries and contribute to policymaking in Britain and globally. Professor Marmot published Fair Society, Healthy Lives, a national review of the evidence commissioned by the Secretary of State for Health, in February 2010. In it, he outlined the most effective strategies for reducing health inequalities in England.

Investigating planets outside our solar system
Dr Giovanna Tinetti (UCL Space & Planetary Sciences) is leading the £400 million Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory (EChO) mission, backed by the European Space Agency. It is the first dedicated mission to investigate the atmosphere of planets outside our solar system, addressing the suitability of those planets for life and comparing them to our solar system. A satellite observatory, orbiting 1.5 million kilometres above the Earth, will provide the researchers with high-quality spectroscopic data on the physical and chemical composition of planetary atmospheres. This will enable Dr Tinetti’s team to compare other planetary systems to our own, improve our understanding of how planets form and evolve, and search for conditions that can support the emergence of life.

Crossing subject boundaries
At UCL, we’re committed to the principle of merging and working across traditional subject boundaries.
English and Laws were once bundles of ideas from different subjects rather than the established fields that they are today. UCL was the first to teach both systematically. These days, there are many leading centres where groundbreaking interdisciplinary work takes place, and UCL students and staff are taking daring new approaches to find the answers to their questions about the world.
UCL hosts numerous projects that cross the arts-science border. UCL Slade School of Fine Art graduate Katie Paterson has been Leverhulme Artist in Residence at UCL Physics & Astronomy(1),and has produced work such as these lightbulbs that simulate moonlight(2). An exhibition at the Royal Institution, ‘Ravelling, Unravelling’(3) was the result of a year-long 24
artist residency by another Slade graduate, Naheed Raza, in UCL Department of Mathematics. The project involved a creative response to topological and geometric investigations currently undertaken in biomedicine. ‘Fugue’(4) is the first project by Tesla, the open discussion forum on art and science, based at UCL Computer Science and organised by artist Gordana Novakovic.

The BASc programme
From 2012, UCL is introducing a new flagship degree programme, unlike any other in the UK. The Arts and Sciences BASc will provide a new way of studying through a unique combination of specialist courses and an interdisciplinary core. The core courses impart both concepts and skills to work effectively across multiple disciplines. They link traditional UCL subjects in new ways and explore the conceptual and methodological differences between arts and science subjects. Students will study a modern foreign language throughout their degree, and will also undertake an internship in a company, government department, charity or NGO. Unlike a US liberal arts degree, the programme will enable students to choose a major and minor pathway from the outset, and this choice will determine their specialist subjects. There will be four pathways: Cultures, Health and Environment, Sciences and Engineering, and Societies.
26
Digital Humanities
The UCL Centre for Digital Humanities brings together research from the traditionally separate disciplines of computing and humanities to create new tools that enhance the understanding and study of the humanities and culture heritage. It draws upon the work being done in many different departments and centres, including the university’s library services, museums and collections. Dr Tim Weyrich, Associate Director of the centre, is the technical lead on ‘Reassembling the Thera Frescoes’, an international project involving archaeologists and computer scientists from Belgium, Greece, the UK and the US, which is linked to the archaeological site of Akrotiri on the island of Thera (modern-day Santorini). Its goal is to assist archaeologists and conservators by digitising excavated fragments of wall paintings that have been preserved in volcanic ash since the 16th century BCE. Computer algorithms are used to semi-automatically search the often tiny fragments for matches. By creating an interface that bridges between automated match retrieval and the intuition of an experienced user, the hope is to greatly reduce the time that is currently spent manually testing large numbers of fragments for matches.
27
Nanotechnology and carbon dioxide
UCL is harnessing the potential of nanotechnology to transform carbon dioxides into useful products. Professor Nora De Leeuw (UCL Chemistry) is leading a project that aims to produce a catalytic reactor that can convert carbon dioxide into useful chemicals, for applications such as fuel cells in laptops and mobile phones, by mimicking biological systems. The project is a collaboration between the UCL Departments of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Science & Technology Studies, and chemicals company Johnson Matthey. Dr Junwang Tang (UCL Chemical Engineering) is the UCL lead on another project that aims to develop nanostructured catalysts that will be used in a process that mimics carbon dioxide activation in nature, which effectively reverses the polluting process of burning fossil fuels. The research team is collaborating with industrial partners Millennium Inorganic Chemicals, building solutions specialist Cemex, Johnson Matthey and the energy company E.ON.
28
Global health and climate change
UCL recently collaborated closely with The Lancet to launch a major report warning that climate change is the biggest global health threat of the 21st century. Managing the Health Effects of Climate Change is the work of UCL academics from many disciplines across the university – including health, anthropology, geography, engineering, economics, law and philosophy. The UCL team, led by Professor Anthony Costello (UCL Institute for Global Health), focused on key areas: patterns of disease and mortality; food security; water and sanitation; shelter and human settlements; extreme events; and population migration. The report lays out a framework for action including three strategic priorities: getting the health lobby involved in the mitigation debate; placing new focus on the massive inequality in health systems throughout the world; and advancing the argument that low-carbon lifestyles bring major health benefits in terms of obesity, heart and lung disease, diabetes and stress. 29

Progress through partnership
Forging effective partnerships is integral to UCL’s belief in maximising the social impact of its intellectual resources. As a research institution, its primary expertise is in developing ideas and knowledge, so by working with institutions with a practical focus to their activities, such as hospitals, schools, business or government, it can help these ideas turn into real-world solutions. Getting a breakthrough cancer drug to the patient waiting in the clinic, or conveying the magic of a Greek drama to a group of local schoolchildren – these are just two examples of how UCL expertise is delivered most effectively through strong external relationships. Some of UCL’s partnerships are core institutional endeavours – it has formed Europe’s largest academic health science partnership with its teaching hospitals – while some rely on the hard work and goodwill of volunteer students and local schoolteachers. UCL also has a major impact on the UK economy through its role in public policy making, spin-out companies based on UCL research, and contributions from UCL graduate talent. All of these examples reflect UCL’s aspiration to enrich society both locally and globally.
UCL’s partnerships encompass many fields including space science(1) UCL Engineering alumnus Colin Chapman founded Lotus Engineering(3), which conducts research collaborations and supports a scholarship with internship for outstanding engineering students. UCL Business secured investment for Endomagnetics Ltd(2),
a spin-out company that has invented a medical device to treat breast cancer. UCL has opened a campus in Qatar(4) to provide programmes in archaeology, conservation and museum studies in partnership with Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development and Qatar Museums Authority. 31
Developing life-saving therapies
UCL spin-out company Pentraxin Therapeutics Ltd has licensed two drug development programmes with pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline to combat TTR amyloidosis, a fatal and currently untreatable condition. The company is directed by Professor Mark Pepys, Director of the UCL Centre for Amyloidosis and Acute Phase Proteins, who has also identified a protein that could be used in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. In collaboration with pharmaceutical group Roche, Professor Pepys developed a new small molecule drug, which specifically targets the protein and removes it from the blood. Rebuilding communities in Haiti
Under the umbrella of a new NGO, Thinking Development, a team of architects, engineers and students from UCL is pooling its expertise to build a primary school and community centre complex in Haiti. The Centre Rosalie Javouhey will include an adult education centre, a community kitchen and canteen, a multi-functional community space and an urban garden and playground in the heart of the capital, Port-au-Prince. The goal is to make it disaster-resistant, eco-friendly and sustainable, and to empower the local community to develop it as they see fit. 32
Tracing the origins of the universe
UCL is contributing a wealth of engineering, computing and scientific expertise to the ATLAS project – one of the detectors in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), Geneva. The LHC is an underground ring-shaped tunnel, which fires protons at each other to create head-on collisions at unprecedented energy levels. An international collaboration of 2,500 scientists, ATLAS consists of highly sophisticated detectors that record, process and analyse data from the events. Principal Investigator of the UK ATLAS team, Professor John Butterworth (UCL Physics & Astronomy) describes the project as allowing physicists access to an undiscovered, high-energy realm in which everyday forces, such as electromagnetism, behave completely differently.
33
At the forefront of the City
Biomedical research excellence
UCL leads the UK PhD Centre in Financial Computing, a unique collaboration between the financial services industry and academia. It is a joint initiative with London School of Economics, London Business School and 20 leading financial institutions. UCL’s Financial Computing Laboratory and Financial Computing MSc programme have been established with substantial support from Thomson Reuters and four leading investment banks, who also contribute to curriculum design, lecturing and hosting student projects.
UCL has joined forces with the Medical Research Council, Cancer Research UK and the Wellcome Trust to found the Francis Crick Institute, a world-leading centre for biomedical research and innovation in the heart of London. Dedicated to research excellence, it will have the scale, vision and expertise to tackle the most challenging scientific questions underpinning health and disease. It will promote connections between researchers, between disciplines, and between academic institutions, healthcare organisations and businesses, while progressing research breakthroughs to practical applications in hospitals and pharmacies.
Preserving the historic Thames
The Thames Discovery Programme aims to communicate an understanding and informed enjoyment of the historic Thames to the widest possible audience. It was initially developed as a response to the gradual loss of archaeological sites exposed on the open foreshore – including prehistoric forests, a Bronze Age bridge, and boats, barges and shipyards. This ambitious project is hosted by the Thames Estuary Partnership in the UCL Environment Institute and the Thames Explorer Trust, with generous support from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Other partners include the Museum of London, English Heritage and the UCL Institute of Archaeology. The Foreshore Record Observation Group (FROG), the membership of which is drawn from right across the London community, is surveying key sites on a regular systematic basis. 34
