UCL and Europe
As a top 10 global university, UCL is one of the world’s outstanding centres for research, teaching and expertise on Europe, across disciplines. We are home to a diverse community of European staff, students and alumni – one of the highest proportions of any UK higher education institution. UCL’s academics also have an outstanding track record in collaborative research with European partners and securing EU research funding.
