Our research domains
UCL's Research Domains are large, cross-disciplinary research communities that span UCL and our partner organisations, fostering interaction and collaboration. We believe that by bringing together a critical mass of expertise we can undertake internationally leading research in our key areas of strength.

Our communities of practice
UCL's communities of practice unite staff working in similar professional services roles, providing staff with opportunities to learn from each other by sharing knowledge and expertise while working together on self-selected projects. Did you know we now have over 20 Communities of Practice running, with more to come!

We're inclusive
UCL was founded in 1826 to open up education to those who had previously been excluded from it and the ethos of inclusion remains at the heart of the university today.
