Transformation through collaboration
UCL has been educating scientists and doctors since 1834. Today, our reputation for excellence and innovation is known across the globe, and the UCL Medical School sits within the world’s top 10. We believe that knowledge should be shared across the medical education landscape. This drives us to build meaningful international partnerships with both new and established institutions and organisations.
