Address and Location
University College London (UCL) is spread across a number of buildings in Bloomsbury, Central London's 'University District'. The main campus is situated on Gower Street; other facilities and academic departments are scattered across London. The university's School of Energy and Resources is based at a partner institution in Adelaide, Australia.Background and History
UCL is the oldest member of the University of London, founded in 1826 as a secular institution. The first university in the country to allow entrance to women on the same terms as men, in the twentieth century UCL merged with other London schools, growing in size and reputation. In 1994 the institution founded the University College London Hospitals NHS Trust, increasing the university's standing as a leading medical school.
