UCL’s global reach / UCL – a history of achievement 1826 UCL is founded to open up education to those who had been excluded from it. By 1828 it has established England’s first academic departments in Chemistry, English, German and Italian – with Civil Engineering to follow in 1841.

1863 Five students from Japan (the ‘Choshu Five’) risk their lives in order to enrol at UCL; they went on to bring Japan out of its political and cultural isolation to become one of the foremost technological powers of the world.

1878 UCL becomes the first university in England to admit women on equal terms with men.

1904 Professor Sir William Ramsay is awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his discovery of the elements helium, argon, neon, krypton and xenon.

1936 The Royal Society elects Kathleen Lonsdale (UCL Crystallography 1936) as its first ever female member. In 1949 she becomes UCL’s first female professor.

USA The Yale UCL Collaborative is a multi-disciplinary, transatlantic research, education and clinical collaboration between Yale University and UCL. Originally set up to share knowledge in the field of cardiovascular medicine, the initiative has subsequently expanded to other biomedical fields and other disciplines, including engineering, history, philosophy and law.

ARTWORK FOR THROWOUT PAGE

1973 UCL makes the first network connection to the USA – a precursor of the modern internet. Another internet first happens in 2002 when UCL computer scientists make a groundbreaking transatlantic ‘virtual handshake’ with their counterparts at MIT.

2006 UCL appoints a Vice-Provost (Enterprise) to promote collaboration with industry partners and entrepreneurial activity within the university.

2009 UCLPartners, one of the UK’s first Academic Health Science Centres, is founded. Today, it has more than 40 participating institutions including UCL Hospitals, Great Ormond Street Hospital and Moorfields Eye Hospital.

Mexico A ‘Cities Changing Diabetes’ programme has been developed by UCL, Novo Nordisk and the Steno Diabetes Centre, a world-leading institution in diabetes care and prevention. Launched initially in Mexico City, with the intention of rolling out to cities in Europe, Asia and North America, the programme aims to map the areas where diabetes is most prevalent and drive concrete action to fight the disorder.

The Yale UCL Collaborative is launched. UCL and NYU Wagner announce a pioneering joint Executive MPA.

UCL engineers are working with the Peruvian, German and UK governments to develop and implement low carbon transport policies, and are working on a demonstration project in Lima which will show how such policies can improve the quality of life for the whole population.

2014 UCL merges with the Institute of Education, creating the largest graduate institution in the UK with 19,000 graduate students.

2016 The £650 million Francis Crick Institute opens, created through a partnership between UCL, the Medical Research Council, Cancer Research UK, the Wellcome Trust, Imperial College London and King’s College London.

Beyond 2016 Transforming UCL, the largest capital project in UCL’s history, is underway. The project will create vibrant, student-focused spaces around the Bloomsbury campus including a new Student Centre and updated facilities. See www.ucl.ac.uk/transforming-ucl for more information.

UCL’s global reach /

A global university, tackling global problems – UCL works throughout the world with partners in education, business, healthcare, development, philanthropy and government to find solutions to some of humankind’s most pressing issues, and to undertake groundbreaking research across the academic spectrum.

USA The Yale UCL Collaborative is a multidisciplinary, transatlantic research, education and clinical collaboration between Yale University and UCL. Originally set up to share knowledge in the field of cardiovascular medicine, the initiative has subsequently expanded to other biomedical fields and other disciplines, including engineering, history, philosophy and law.

Mexico New research led by UCL for the Cities Changing Diabetes partnership shows that a complex mix of factors including geography, gender roles, tradition and cultural trends, can influence diabetes vulnerability. The year-long study is the world’s largest ever – covering five cities which together are home to 60 million people – and seeks to better understand what makes people vulnerable to type 2 diabetes in cities, where there has been a dramatic rise in the incidence of the condition.

Ecuador Following the 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Ecuador on 16 April 2016, experts from UCL Civil, Environmental & Geomatic Engineering and the UCL Centre for Urban Sustainability & Resilience were deployed to the scene of the disaster. The team worked alongside the Ecuadorian government to evaluate the safety of damaged buildings, co-ordinate the response of additional experts deployed from other European countries, and ascertain why the buildings that failed did so.

North and South Poles UCL researchers are working on data returned from the European Space Agency’s Cryosat-2 mission, which measures precise changes in the thickness of the polar ice sheets and floating sea ice in order to determine how these regions contribute to the whole Earth system and how they are affected by climate change.

China

Europe The UCL School of Slavonic & East European Studies (SSEES) participates in the FP7 network project ANTICORPP. Twenty one research groups in 16 EU countries are working together, with the central aim of investigating factors – such as legal responses, social mechanisms and democratic accountability – that promote or hinder the development of effective anti-corruption policies. The SSEES-led strand of the project focuses on the social and fiscal impact of corruption, as well as links between corruption and organised crime, and corruption and the media.

A team from UCL Anthropology has carried out a landmark project to analyse the impact of social media on our lives. The ‘Why We Post’ study saw team members spend 15 months living in eight different countries including two sites in China. They found that the use of, and attitudes towards, social media varies widely across locations, with marked differences in the way it is used to express personal style and political views, and put to local use to facilitate change, stay in contact or find safe spaces. The findings are available via a dedicated website, an e-learning course and 11 Open Access books.

India A collaboration between UCL, the Indian NGO Ekjut and the Public Health Foundation of India, the CARING trial is a research project aiming to improve nutrition and growth in the first 1,000 days of life in rural eastern India. The four-year study running from 2013 to 2017 aims to assess the feasibility of a community intervention to improve child growth in the rural districts of Jharkhand and Orissa, where the growth of over 60% of children is stunted.

Jordan

South Africa The DIFFER project, a collaboration between UCL and five other partners across Europe, India and Africa, aims to improve sexual and reproductive health for all women by using a combination of approaches. The ‘horizontal’ approach will examine how to strengthen and expand the existing healthcare systems used by the majority of women, while the ‘vertical’ approach looks at more targeted interventions in the case of marginalised populations, such as female sex workers, who are at increased risk of infection.

Researchers from the UCL Institute of Education are working in Jordan to develop and implement an Initial Teacher Education (ITE) training programme for the country. The first group of student teachers are expected to start in September 2016, with an annual increase in numbers so that by September 2020 all new teachers will be undergoing ITE before starting teaching in schools. This exciting project will help Jordan support learning in the country and meet the needs of all its pupils in public schools.

Australia UCL has signed a partnership agreement with the University of South Australia committing the two institutions to work together to develop teaching and research in South Australia in fields including minerals processing, advanced manufacturing, sustainable future energy production and protection, and care of the environment.

A flavour of UCL’s research /

At the very heart of UCL’s mission is our research. We aspire to deliver a culture of wisdom and provide a supportive environment where academic insight can thrive, deepening knowledge and developing solutions to problems worldwide. We encourage academics to work across traditional subject boundaries and have established numerous centres to facilitate cross-disciplinary interaction.

Calling time on ALD A new app developed by UCL liver specialists at the Royal Free Hospital, London, is designed to help patients suffering from alcoholic liver disease (ALD) to monitor their drinking habits and reduce their alcohol intake. The app, AlcoChange, works by establishing each individual patient’s routine and using this information to send personalised messages, at times of high risk, to remind them not to drink. A breathalyser is supplied with the app to help patients judge whether they are within safe drinking limits, and the app also feeds back information about consumption habits to clinical staff, allowing them to ascertain whether additional support is needed.

Brain food

The cycle of modern slavery Since the introduction of the Overseas Domestic Worker visa in 2012, migrant domestic workers arrive in the UK under extremely restrictive conditions which, it is argued, make it all but impossible for them to escape an ongoing cycle of exploitation and fear. A small-scale empirical study carried out by UCL Laws in conjunction with Kalayaan, a non-governmental organisation specialising in labour rights for migrant workers, showed that migrant domestic workers often endure conditions akin to modern slavery: they are grossly underpaid, threatened with violence, forced to work long hours without food or adequate accommodation, and have their passports withheld by their employers.

A team from UCL and Royal Holloway, University of London has revealed in preliminary tests how decanoic acid, a fatty acid found in foods assigned to ketogenic diets, acts to block seizures in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Ketogenic diets are characterised by their high fat, low carbohydrate and controlled protein content. They have been acknowledged as a useful means of controlling the symptoms of epilepsy for many years, although the mechanism by which the diet has antiepileptic effects is unknown. Researchers have pinpointed decanoic acid as the component that blocks a key neurotransmitter receptor involved in brain activity. The study could offer a new approach to the treatment of epilepsy, with clinical trials scheduled to begin in 2016 at University College London Hospital and Great Ormond Street Hospital.

07 Resolving the Red Planet Exciting pictures of the surface of Mars, including the site of the Beagle-2 lander and ancient lakebeds discovered by NASA’s Curiosity rover, have been released by UCL researchers who stacked and matched images taken from orbit to reveal objects at a resolution up to five times greater than previously achieved. A paper describing the technique, called Super-Resolution Restoration (SRR), was published in Planetary and Space Science in February 2016 but has only recently been used to focus on specific objects on Mars. The technique could be used to search for other artefacts from past failed landings, as well as to identify safe landing locations for future missions. It will also allow scientists to explore vastly more terrain than would be possible with a single rover.

Gaming with Grendel An AHRC-funded collaboration between the UCL Institute of Education, UCL English and the British Library has produced a game-authoring tool based on the Anglo-Saxon epic poem Beowulf – allowing players to create their own characters, landscapes and events inspired by the text, encouraging co-curatorship and an interactive relationship with the epic. Beowulf was one of the first major digitisation projects undertaken by the British Library, and its adaptation into a videogame opens up new ways of reinterpreting the poem and making it immediately accessible to school and university students. A particular feature of the game is the potential for players to explore the ambiguities inherent in the text through the use of morphing visual characters and shifting points of view.

Diagnosis: Dementia? Researchers from UCL Primary Care & Population Health have determined that it could be possible to assess a patient’s risk of developing dementia, by analysing information gathered at routine visits to the family doctor. Using randomly selected anonymised patient records, collected from 377 UK general practices between 2000 and 2011, the team developed an algorithm to predict the risk of future dementia diagnoses within five years. This was based on sociodemographic measures, health and lifestyle measurements, medical diagnoses and use of prescription medicine. The algorithm – the Dementia Risk Score – performed well in predicting risk for the 60–79 age group, and could be used in the future to help rule out patients at very low risk for conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease in primary care.

Seeing better… with batter Scientists from UCL Engineering and the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology have looked to the kitchen for inspiration – using different types of pancake batter to model how flexible sheets, like those found in human eyes, interact with flowing vapour and liquids. The team found that using different ratios of flour to liquid in the batter affected how the pancakes spread and cooked, and gave them insights into how water vapour was trapped or released across the surface of the pancake depending on its thickness and shape. The findings, published in Mathematics TODAY, have been applied to the treatment of glaucoma – a build-up of pressure in the eyes caused by fluid – and will lead to improvements in surgical methods for treating the condition.

Rise of the mammals The extinction of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago was directly followed by an explosion of diversity among mammals, according to new research by scientists from UCL Earth Sciences and UCL Genetics, Evolution & Environment. Over the course of the Paleocene epoch – the 10 million years following the extinction event that wiped out the non-avian dinosaurs – the fossil record shows that placental mammals (the group that today includes nearly 5,000 species, including humans) became more varied in anatomy, with rapid increases in body size and ecological diversity. The removal of predators and competitors allowed mammals to evolve three times faster than they had previously, and assume a greater variety of forms in this relatively short period than they had in the previous 160 million years.

Sound and vision A UCL study has pinpointed the mechanisms behind ‘inattentional deafness’ – where people fail to notice sounds whilst concentrating on other things. Volunteers for the study were given various visual tasks to carry out, and their ability to detect sounds was measured in real time using MEG (magnetoencephalography). It was found that the more demanding the visual task, the more the brain’s response to sound was reduced. The research suggests that the senses of hearing and vision share a limited resource, and that the effects are driven by brain mechanisms at a very early stage of auditory processing – the volunteers were, in effect, deaf to these sounds. Although inattentional deafness is a common problem, it can have more serious implications; for example cyclists or motorists focusing intently on a distraction and failing to hear sirens or horns.

Right on track Senceive Ltd is changing the face of remote condition monitoring across the construction and railway sectors. The UCL Electronic & Electrical Engineering spinout company has developed an innovative FlatMesh™ wireless mesh networking technology platform, integrated with high precision sensors. The technology provides a highly cost-effective, robust and scalable solution for monitoring tiny movement across geotechnical and structural assets like embankments, bridges, walls, tunnels and rail track-beds. The company has deployed hundreds of sensors across the London Underground and rail networks, and has recently delivered a monitoring solution for the Crossrail construction project, a major new route that will run for over 100km from Reading and Heathrow in the west of London to Abbey Wood and Shenfield in the east.

Shelf life Heritage scientists at the UCL Institute for Sustainable Heritage have developed demographic models of decay and loss in order to predict when a large library or archival collection might age beyond repair. One model looked at how cellulose, the dominant macromolecule in paper, degrades over time depending on the acidity of the paper and the environmental conditions during storage; another looked at how wear and tear builds up over time as a book or folder is opened and read. These models could help to predict how libraries and paper archives will fare as global temperatures are expected to rise by two degrees in the future, contributing to more sustainable methods of conservation.

Funding boost for T-cell therapies Autolus Limited, a biopharmaceutical spinout from UCL Cancer, announced in March 2016 that it has raised £40 million of new capital. Autolus focuses on the development and commercialisation of next-generation engineered T-cell therapies for haematological and solid tumours, and is based on work carried out in UCL’s Cancer Institute and NIHR University College London Hospitals Biomedical Research Centre. T-cells are part of our immune system. Normally they kill infected cells, but can be taken from the body, grown in the lab and ‘reprogrammed’ to recognise and kill cancer cells just as they would normally attack an infection. The funds will enable Autolus to develop its proprietary pipeline of engineered T-cell products.

ARTS & HUMANITIES /

UCL Arts & Humanities is a renowned centre of excellence where research of world-leading quality feeds directly into programmes of study both within the departments of English, Philosophy, Classics, Hebrew and Jewish Studies, Information Studies, Modern European Languages and Fine Art, and the Centre for Multidisciplinary & Intercultural Inquiry.

Mererid Puw Davies

Senior Lecturer in German I have just finished writing a book about writing and protest in West Germany around 1968. This book takes a different approach from most research on 1960s literature, in that it focuses on the importance of reading and writing within the protest movements, and the innovative, avantgarde and often scandalous ways in which protesters incorporated text and artistic ideas. The aim is to change our understanding of the relationship between art, especially in the form of text, and politics – then and now. This project has involved what was for me a really important re-definition of literature itself, from a traditional notion of fine writing to a far wider, more eclectic and demotic range of texts, from graffiti to flyers to slogans – to poetry and experimental prose too, and so has been very interdisciplinary. Next, I will be working on a film about women and creativity around 1968, the intersections of medicine and literature in Germany, and what German arts had and have to say about the Vietnam conflict of the 1960s.

BRAIN SCIENCES /

Our vision is to solve the greatest health and wellbeing problems within brain sciences, in order to transform society and reduce the global burden of disease. The Faculty of Brain Sciences brings together a wealth of scientific and clinical expertise and provides recognised world-class education in both taught and research programmes at graduate level.

David Werring

Professor of Clinical Neurology My work uses observational and interventional study designs to improve the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of stroke, with a focus on various forms of brain haemorrhage. Brain scanning with MRI is a fantastic way to visualise the effects of small vessel damage on the brain, revealing an increasing range of changes (including cerebral microbleeds, white matter changes and ‘silent’ infarcts). My team are investigating how these and other ‘biomarkers’ could improve diagnosis, prognosis, disease monitoring, and prevention – and ultimately help us to test new treatments relating to cerebral small vessel disease. In stroke, we are often concerned with preventing further artery blockages by giving antithrombotic drugs (‘blood thinners’), at the cost of a small increase in the risk of brain haemorrhage. Our work using neuroimaging, including the detection of cerebral microbleeds, may help to personalise these common treatments to maximise benefit and reduce harms.

EDUCATION /

The UCL Institute of Education (IOE) is the world’s leading centre for research and teaching in education and related social science, ranked first for education for the third year running in the QS World University Rankings by Subject (2016). We attract outstanding candidates and support them to develop as pioneering practitioners and future leaders in their fields.

Charlotte Nussey Education PhD

My doctoral research is in the multidisciplinary field of education and international development, and looks at overlapping or intersecting forms of marginalisation, including inequalities that are related to gender, violence, poverty and education. To explore these complex issues I interviewed Zulu women in rural South Africa about their histories, as well as observing literacy classes in which they participated. Studying at the UCL Institute of Education has given me space to understand education and international development theoretically, particularly in relation to gender. Inequality is a global concern which increasingly affects the ways in which we can live our lives. Looking at how people understand these processes can help us speak back to policy and to power.

MAIN IMAGE: Professor Becky Francis, Director of the UCL Institute of Education. Becky’s research is focused on inequalities in experience and achievement in education. Her current research project, ‘Best practice in grouping students’, investigates which methods of grouping secondary school students are most effective in improving their educational engagement and attainment.

Gemma Bale

Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering PhD

My PhD has involved developing an optical system to monitor metabolism in the newborn brain. The machine is based on near-infrared spectroscopy which is a technique that uses the relative transparency of biological tissue in the near-infrared region to probe changes in metabolism deep in the brain. The aim of my research was to build such a system for the neonatal intensive care unit to monitor newborn infants with brain injury. These infants are in a critical condition and the doctors taking care of them are in need of a monitor of brain metabolism to improve their diagnosis and treatment. The project has been very multidisciplinary as I’ve had to use physics and engineering skills to develop the machine, spend time in the hospital doing measurements, use signal processing techniques to perform data analysis and learn about the physiology of the injured brain to interpret the data. The project has been successful; I have monitored over 60 babies with brain injury so far and am finding links between my measurement of metabolism and the severity of brain injury.

FACULTY OF

LAWS /

For almost 200 years, UCL Laws has been one of the leading centres of legal education in the world, and remains committed to the rigorous, multidisciplinary and innovative study of law in all its dimensions. Our established reputation for cutting-edge legal research places us at the heart of policy, practice and impact.

Dr Kimberley Trapp

Senior Lecturer in Public International Law My research focuses broadly on the legal regimes which regulate violence under international law (including in respect of the use of force, armed conflicts, and terrorism suppression). In particular, I explore these regimes with a view to better accounting for the increasingly central role of individuals in the international system and the realities of modern threats to international peace and security. For example, I am currently writing on the interaction between the law of armed conflict and international law related to terrorism suppression. Politically, it is rather expedient these days to refer to armed groups like the Taliban and Daesh as “terrorists” – but there are potentially legal implications to doing so. My research seeks to identify those implications and to propose a framework of analysis which preserves the core elements of each regime, while accommodating the changing nature of armed conflict and its participants.

The Faculty of Life Sciences is the hub for biological research at UCL. Research is conducted across the biological scales from molecules through cells and tissues to whole organisms and animal populations, and the incorporation of the School of Pharmacy has expanded faculty activity in the area of drug discovery and development.

Professor Kaila Surjit Srai

Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

We are studying cellular metal homeostasis (mainly iron, but also zinc, copper and manganese). These metal ions are constituents of thousands of proteins, both structural and enzymatic. Cellular metal homeostasis requires multiple proteins for transport, sensing, chaperoning and other functions in networks of tightly controlled interactions and full integration with signalling and metabolism. Failure to control the levels and cellular location of these metals leads to disease. Fundamental insight into the control of metal ion homeostasis will lead to understanding of the physiological and toxic action of metals in health and disease. The main theme of my current research is trafficking and function of ion transport proteins and their role in health and disease. Specifically we are interested in the cellular role and trafficking of members of the SLC39A family of iron, zinc and manganese transporters, mutations which have been shown to cause neurological diseases. We use mammalian tissue culture cells as model systems to study these mechanisms.

The faculty offers a range of programmes in emerging as well as more traditional academic areas.

Hojung Kim

Earth Sciences PhD I study past environments using marine plankton fossils, specifically calcareous nannoplankton (coccolithophores), one of the major primary producers in the ocean. Despite their microscopic size, coccolithophores are highly abundant and comprise 35% of ocean sediments. I focus on the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary, 66 million years ago, when a major mass extinction led to the loss of 70% of all marine species, as well as a large part of terrestrial species including the dinosaurs. Coccolithophores were one of the most severely affected groups with 90% of species becoming extinct. However, the marine ecosystem rapidly recovered and the oceans regained fertility. My research aims to use evolutionary rates in calcareous nannoplankton in order to understand the rate and process of this recovery. Gaining an understanding of different species’ responses to such a catastrophic event is particularly useful, as there are growing concerns that we are facing a bio-crisis in the present day.

Dr Adam Roberts

Senior Lecturer in Molecular Microbiology My research group investigates how bacteria cause disease and become resistant to antibiotics, and how they transfer their DNA from one bacteria to another. We are also discovering new bioactive compounds (e.g. antibiotics) produced by bacteria that we may be able to use in medicine. The problem of antibiotic resistance is so huge that it needs many different approaches to try and solve it. These include finding out the mechanisms of resistance and coming up with new drugs. We use a combination of genomics, traditional microbiology, metagenomics, biochemistry and analytical chemistry to tackle this problem. The location of UCL is second to none. Both nationally and internationally its central location makes it easy to have face-to-face meetings and meet new collaborators. UCL itself attracts investment, both in terms of excellent students and also collaborations with industry.

Melvin Obadha

Global Health and Development MSc My research looks at the relationship between mobile money use and access to healthcare in Kenya. Mobile money is a mobile phone-based service that enables users to deposit, send, receive and withdraw cash. If linked to a mobile bank account, users can save, earn interest and apply for loans. It doesn’t require internet access and works on any device. The best example is M-PESA in Kenya, which has 25 million accounts and moves 38 % of the country’s GDP. But what is its impact on healthcare provision? Kenya charges users fees at the point of access to healthcare. Furthermore, health insurance coverage is very low. My research entails a quantitative secondary data analysis of a survey dataset using multilevel mixed effects regression techniques to model the relationship between mobile money use and access to healthcare at different levels. I’m trying to argue that mobile money users are better able to access healthcare as they can save and get loans to pay for their care or for transportation to a health facility. They can also promptly mobilise funds from friends and relatives miles away to pay for medical costs.

Our institutes together encompass conception, birth, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, older age and death. The Institutes for Women’s Health, of Child Health, Cardiovascular Science, Epidemiology & Health Care and the Great Ormand Street Institute of Child Health comprehensively address these phases and periods at an individual and population level. The Institutes of Clinical Trials & Methodology, Health Informatics and for Global Health focus on how potential health gains can be realised nationally and internationally. The range of disciplines from which staff are drawn (clinical scientists, epidemiologists, biostatisticians, health social scientists, biologists, geneticists, and allied health professionals), our collaborative approach (working with engineers, lawyers, biotechnologists and economists, among others) and the initiatives in which we are involved all ensure that we provide a supportive, challenging and vibrant institution in which to study.

A list of taught programmes can be found on page 52 The London advantage

Our central London location delivers huge competitive advantage and academic benefit. Our links to, and involvement with, clinical partners (UCLPartners, Biomedical Research Centres) and leading research and policy-making institutions (MRC, Wellcome Trust, ESRC, National Institute for Health Research [NIHR], Public Health England, NICE, the Department of Health) are reflected by our involvement in, and leadership of, collaborative research initiatives. Our unparalleled access to high-quality research facilities and academic expertise informs the structure and content of the teaching programmes we offer. Whilst our academic links provide opportunity, the more immediate impact for every student is the very high calibre and capabilities of the staff we recruit and retain as a result of being a research-based teaching institution. Their involvement in cutting-edge research delivers a unique teaching environment.

Global networks

The future health of many communities is intimately bound up with global challenges – climate change, international trade, migration, urbanisation, and population growth. Global challenges require global solutions, so it is unsurprising that we receive research funding not only from the UK, but also from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) and from the EU. UCL’s global health research is increasingly multidisciplinary, as seen in our Institute for Global Health, and across the faculty, in epidemiology, child health, women’s health and in cardiovascular science. The Institute of Clinical Trials & Methodology has collaborations in more than 80 countries: Population Health at UCL is truly global in its reach and aspiration.

Key features and facilities

Our teaching and computing facilities incorporate current technology, and provide audio-visual facilities as well as Lecturecast in many sites. Major refurbishments in laboratories within the Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health and the Institute of Cardiovascular Science, and investment in non-invasive imaging, high-speed computing and ‘omics’ analysis capabilities, have increased the opportunities for research projects. In addition, there are opportunities for non-laboratory based research in epidemiology and biostatistics, clinical trials, health informatics, psychology, and developmental paediatrics. UCL’s extensive network of library services and new student hubs provide core facilities, and students normally have access to local common rooms. The faculty

is enhancing e-learning provision and delivering student-focused initiatives – for example, a Postgraduate Research Mentoring Scheme and faculty careers events and induction days – to help provide a continuum of support, from prospective student through to successful graduate.

Scholarships and funding

Studentships are available annually for specific research areas and programmes identified by funders (e.g. ESRC, MRC, British Heart Foundation), secured as part of individual projects and research proposals (e.g. NIHR, Cancer Research UK) and/or available in annual competition to support the best proposals in a given field (e.g. Child Health Research Appeal Trust). Scholarships are also secured for taught programmes where funders believe they address specific training and capacity requirements. The nature of the funding, with a relatively fast-changing landscape of funding opportunities, determines that all scholarships are held at institute or programme level and that applicants have to contact institutes directly to secure the most up-to-date information.

Employability and skills

We offer a unique environment for cross-disciplinary study, as well as the opportunity to engage with peers and staff with professional experience in many different domains of population health, including health service delivery, research, programme management, health policy and advocacy. As a student, you will benefit from world-class education and training, and graduate with the skills and knowledge sought after by industry, government departments and voluntary and public sector organisations worldwide, as well as leading academic institutions. Institutes within the faculty run alumni and networking events and foster relationships with industry, third sector and governmental organisations, other higher education institutions, partner hospitals and the wider NHS – developing extensive networks that support future success.

Founded in 1915, the UCL School of Slavonic & East European Studies (SSEES) is a world-leading centre for the study of Central, Eastern, South-Eastern Europe, Russia and Eurasia. We are globally recognised for our distinct, cross-disciplinary research, teaching and policy advising, and offer innovative programmes in economics and business, history, languages and culture, and politics and sociology.

Kaneshko Sangar

Slavonic and East European Studies PhD My PhD is a cross-disciplinary, multilingual and multicultural study, which means that the methodology and analytical process involves several disciplines of social sciences and humanities and collection and analysis of data in Russian, English, Persian and Pashto languages. The aim of my thesis is threefold. Firstly, it explores Russia’s role in Afghanistan from the reign of Peter the Great to the post-September 11, 2001 period, and examines Russia’s geopolitical culture and formation of strategic thinking towards Afghanistan. Secondly, it evaluates the significance of Afghanistan for Russia in the 21st century and provides an analysis of Russia’s political, economic and security policy in post-Taliban Afghanistan. Lastly, it explores the whole spectrum of relationships involving Russia as the main state actor with the key players in Central Eurasia – such as the US, China, India, Pakistan, Iran, and the five Central Asian states – from 2001 onwards in a historical and geopolitical context.

SSEES’s mission is based on three principles: to create and broadly disseminate in-depth knowledge and understanding of Eastern Europe in regional, comparative, transnational, and global contexts; to facilitate multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and multi-method approaches to knowledge building and student training; and to promote and enhance the development of area studies at UCL and among the wider academic community. SSEES hosts several interdisciplinary research centres and groups, and leads the inter-university Centre for East European Language Based Area Studies (CEELBAS). New Horizons, a programme funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation of New York, is based at SSEES and works on understanding fast-changing developments in the post-Soviet space within a multidisciplinary and transnational framework. We have recently established FRINGE (Centre for the Study of Social & Cultural Complexity) and CCSEE (Centre for Comparative Studies of Emerging Economies). Our researchers lead one of the four strands in a 21-strong international consortium for a major EU-funded project (ANTICORRP), investigating European responses to the challenge of corruption.

A list of taught programmes can be found on page 53 The London advantage

We have forged close relationships with a range of institutions in London, including Chatham House, the British Chamber of Commerce, the EBRD (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development), the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, the British Library, Transparency International and NGOs including Health Prom and the BEARR Trust – all of which have offered SSEES students and scholars internships or other opportunities for collaboration, and some of which are Associate Partners within the International Master’s programme (IMESS). With our ideal central London location, we have long cultivated successful connections with the London embassies, and regularly co-sponsor events involving leading international figures such as Martti Ahtisaari, Madeleine Albright, Gordon Bajnai and Slavoj Žižek.

Global networks

At the heart of SSEES’s international networks is the SSEES-led IMESS programme, developed from long-standing institutional partnerships with universities in the Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Poland, Russia and Serbia. From this, a formal institutional partnership with the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE, Moscow) emerged in 2011, and resulted in a successful application to the ESRC for a PhD partnership programme between HSE and UCL. Successful collaboration and networking often starts through our many bilateral and multilateral exchange arrangements with partner universities and institutions, and with external sponsors (such as the three-month visiting fellowships we offer, co-funded by the governments of Estonia, Hungary, Poland and Lithuania).

Research is supported not only by expert supervisors, but also by a great variety of seminar series, conferences, lectures, and workshops. Visitors to SSEES include Central and East European and Russian politicians, top academics from around the world, and writers and intellectuals from all the geographical areas covered by the school.

Scholarships and funding

AHRC and ESRC scholarships for MA, MRes, MPhil and PhD study and a range of IMESS studentships are available. In addition, up to six SSEES studentships are awarded annually, covering tuition fees at UK/ EU level. The SSEES Foundation Scholarship is available to prospective MPhil/PhD research students, and the Victor and Rita Swoboda Memorial Scholarship supports a PhD in Ukrainian Studies.

Employability and skills

Popular destinations of our recent graduates include government services, international agencies and NGOs, consultancies, the media, teaching, law and corporate training schemes. Examples include: government policy advisor, finance and investment analyst, social researcher, business risk analyst, legal trainee, and parliamentary intern, while others have pursued further study and research. Career planning is part of the study experience, with a huge range of opportunities to enhance employability. Campus and faculty careers sessions with relevant employers, networking with former students, sessions on applications and interviews, and access to internship and placement opportunities are all dedicated to ensuring students are at an advantage in the employment market, by understanding what is important to personal career development and how to show added value in the workplace.

FACULTY OF

SOCIAL & HISTORICAL SCIENCES /

UCL Social & Historical Sciences encompasses an area of knowledge where science meets the humanities. The interests and methods of our departments, whose research expertise ranges from archaeology, anthropology, geography and the Americas, through to history, history of art, economics and political science, offer excellent opportunities for innovative and collaborative research.

Barney Harris

Archaeology PhD My doctoral research at the UCL Institute of Archaeology examines how the construction of prehistoric monuments such as Stonehenge changed over the course of 2,000 years. Specifically, I’m drawing on archaeological, ethnographic and experimental studies to inform computational models that simulate how such enormous monuments were actually built. Novel spatial and statistical analyses then allow me to assess the impact that building monuments had on prehistoric communities, in terms of time and energy. Knowing how monument building varied through time and space in this way is critical to our overall understanding of the social development of sedentary societies in Britain. Outside of archaeology, I’ve worked with a number of leading experts at UCL to develop further skills; I’ve organised public engagement activities, radically improved my French and am now accustomed to programming in several different languages.

MAIN IMAGE: Jason Dittmer, Professor of Political Geography. His research into the everyday world of geopolitics has in the past examined popular culture, especially nationalist superheroes like Captain America, and is currently focused on everyday bureaucratic life inside foreign ministries and other outward-facing parts of government.

Research groups and strengths

Our various departments play a major role in UCL’s growing network of cross-disciplinary research centres. Major interdisciplinary projects are run by the UCL China Centre for Health & Humanity, the Centre for Transnational History, the Institute of the Americas and the UCL Centre for Medieval & Renaissance Studies. A wide range of other centres also cover areas ranging from digital anthropology to migration, and from specialist areas such as climate change, constitutional change and human rights to museum studies and heritage management. In addition, UCL’s Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS) in the Humanities and Social Sciences is a research-based community of scholars comprising colleagues and doctoral students from across UCL as well as visiting research collaborators from the UK and internationally. We are also a partner institution in the London Arts and Humanities Partnership (LAHP), alongside King’s College London and the School of Advanced Study. LAHP will train up to 400 graduate students in these three universities over seven years and the training programme will serve approximately 1,300 research students.

A list of taught programmes can be found on pages 53–55 The London advantage

Based in the heart of London, we have strong relationships with a range of industry-specific contacts, businesses, research centres and funding bodies. Special agreements currently exist with the House of Lords, the British Academy, Marie Curie Cancer Care and the Wellcome Trust, along with a number of embassies from Colombia to China and across the Middle East. We are also located close to invaluable resources such as the British Library and British Museum, the Institutes of Historical Research and Classical Studies and the Warburg Institute.

Global networks

We offer various opportunities in collaboration with overseas partners. UCL’s School of Public Policy and NYU Wagner have created a unique partnership to offer an innovative one-year joint Executive Master of Public Administration (EMPA). As part of this partnership, students will spend the first semester at NYU Wagner in New York City and the spring term at UCL in London; the summer is then spent in locations across the globe working on a client-based Capstone Project. The Yale UCL Collaborative provides PhD students with the opportunity to study at Yale for a defined period of research. The European Institute is UCL’s hub for research, collaboration and information on Europe and the European Union. It builds networks and alliances across the EU, and provides expert analysis and commentary on topical events and developments. UCL’s Institute for Advanced Study provides a research environment that is organised by themes of global significance, bringing together international researchers across a range of academic disciplines to address universal challenges.

Key features and facilities

Our students have access to state-of-the-art computing facilities and a well-equipped Map Room in Geography, on-site collections such as the Ethnography Collection, the Institute of Archaeology Collections and Library, the Petrie Museum of Egyptology and the UCL Art Museum, as well as UCL Library Special Collections. Many departments run specialist seminars, often with high-profile visiting speakers, and we run a joint series of inaugural lectures with the Faculty of Arts & Humanities and the School of Slavonic & East European Studies. The methods of learning and teaching within the faculty are varied

and diverse; however, all graduate programmes require students to have reached a high level of proficiency in their field. The majority of learning hours are spent in independent study outside the classroom, and teaching provides not only instruction and training, but also facilitates, guides, and engages with each student’s own independent work.

Scholarships and funding

Faculty-wide funding is offered in the form of Wolfson Scholarships, with further opportunities available through the UCL Doctoral School. In addition, students may apply for scholarships funded through the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Support for a range of student-led conferences, seminars and workshops is provided across both Arts & Humanities and Social & Historical Sciences in the form of the Joint Faculty Institute of Graduate Studies, leading to a wide range of interdisciplinary events, with students encouraged to organise and run their own projects. This creates a rich and diverse opportunity for graduate students to further their research, learning and networking across both faculties; a truly interdisciplinary experience. Funding for research students is also available at faculty level for research projects, conferences and external training.

Employability and skills

Not only do our students have access to high-quality teaching across their own subject area and related areas, but they also have the chance to enhance and develop transferable skills – concrete skills that future recruiters look for in their candidates. These vary depending on the area you focus on, however, some key skills include: commercial awareness, communication, teamwork, problem-solving, ability to work under pressure and leadership. Our programmes will give you a good base and experience to talk to employers across multiple sectors and your career options are limitless.

How to apply / This is a very brief overview of the application process. For more information please see www.ucl.ac.uk/graduate/apply

Key Notes for International students

RESEARCH PROGRAMMES e.g. MPhil/PhD

TAUGHT PROGRAMMES e.g. MSc, MA, MRes

Identify a research area/programme you are interested in; these are listed in the online Prospectus. Check that you meet the entry requirements.

Identify a programme you are interested in; these are listed in this Prospectus and online. Check that you meet the entry requirements for this programme.

International students will have to check international qualification equivalencies, and English language requirements may also apply.

Investigate research opportunities – these can either be speculative, or defined studentships.

Check application deadlines. For most taught programmes application is made directly to UCL but there are some exceptions (e.g. teacher training programmes). This can be checked at www.ucl.ac.uk/graduate/apply

SPECULATIVE

STUDENTSHIPS

Many departments welcome speculative research enquiries. Well-qualified candidates should contact relevant academics directly or, in some cases, submit speculative applications. The process varies by department; if you are unsure contact the department first.

Studentships are defined research projects packaged with funding. They are predominantly in science, technology, engineering and medical areas, and are advertised throughout the academic year.

To find potential research supervisors, you can search: 1. UCL’s Graduate Prospectus to find relevant academic units (www.ucl.ac.uk/graduate); 2. UCL IRIS to find academics relevant to your research interest (www.ucl.ac.uk/iris); 3. UCL Discovery, to find papers and authors relevant to you (www.ucl.ac.uk/discovery).

If you identify an academic who is keen to work with you the next stage will be to liaise with them to identify appropriate funding to cover your fees and stipend.

As the availability of studentships changes constantly, you should check UCL listings, academic department websites, Doctoral Training Centre websites, and websites such as findaphd.com Studentships funded by the UK Research Councils are usually not available to students from outside the EU. If you are applying for funding from your government check the requirements and deadlines – these can often be earlier than you expect.

If you intend to apply for scholarships or other forms of funding you should start researching your options at least 12 months before intending to start your studies. In many cases you will need your offer from UCL before you are able to apply for funding, so make sure you plan your application far enough in advance.

If you have any questions please contact the relevant academic unit using the details given at www.ucl.ac.uk/graduate, or contact UCL Admissions: email postgraduate-admissions@ucl.ac.uk or telephone +44 (0)20 3108 7288

Follow the application guidance of the studentship.

SUBMIT APPLICATION TO UCL (www.ucl.ac.uk/graduate/apply)

Use the Applicant Portal to track the progress of your application.
