UCL: Past, present, future /
UCL was founded on principles of equality and accessibility, and our radical roots continue to inform everything that we do. Our world-leading resources provide an enriched multidisciplinary environment for our students, and we’re also investing more in the future than ever before. 1826 UCL is founded to open up education to those who had been excluded from it on the grounds of class, race or religion. 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 go 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 students 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 (image 3, right).
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 (image 2, right).
1973 UCL makes the first network connection to the USA – a precursor to the modern internet.
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.
2014 UCL merges with the Institute of Education, creating the largest graduate institution in the UK with 19,000 graduate students (image 9, right).
2016 The £650million Francis Crick Institute opens. Created through a partnership between UCL, the Medical Research Council, Cancer Resarch UK, the Wellcome Trust, Imperial Collge London and King’s College London, it is an independent centre for biomedical research (image 5, right).
2017 and beyond The Transforming UCL project is currently underway – a £1.2billion project to update and radically refurbish student-focused spaces around the Bloomsbury campus. Projects include the new Wilkins Terrace (image 6, right) and Refectory, and a new home for the Bartlett School of Architecture at 22 Gordon Street (image 7, right). See www.ucl.ac.uk/transforming-ucl for more information.

THE UCL ADVANTAGE /
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.
Canada UCL has partnered with the University of Toronto (U of T) to launch a stream of seed funding to address key challenges, particularly in the areas of cities, child health, education, neuroscience, and social sciences. Ten projects will be selected to receive a maximum £16,000 over two years, to sponsor things like joint research and teaching projects, doctoral student mobility, and other compelling and mutually-beneficial partnerships between UCL and U of T.
Costa Rica Graduate students from UCL Laws have submitted an amicus brief to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights as part of advisory proceedings triggered by Ecuador. The students are part of the UCL Public International Law Pro Bono Project, which provides students with opportunities to engage with international human rights systems while gaining research experience. The brief relates to the institution of asylum and its recognition as a human right of every individual. The project expects to send a delegation to Costa Rica to participate in the oral stage of the proceedings.
North and South Poles UCL researchers at the Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling (CPOM) are contributing to our understanding of how changes in the Earth’s polar regions contribute to the whole Earth system, and how they are affected by climate change. CPOM uses theoretical and laboratory-derived information to form new models of interactions between the ice, ocean and atmosphere, and uses ground and satellite observations to test these and other climate models.
Bolivia The UCL Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction (IRDR) recently completed a project on assessing water risk from mining on the Bolivian Altiplano. Jointly funded by CAFOD (the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development) and undertaken in collaboration with CENDA (Centro de Comunicación y Desarrollo Andino) in Bolivia, the research has enabled CENDA to work with the Bolivian Vice Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation to set up the Water Quality Monitoring System for the Poopó and Pazña rivers. A key achievement is the involvement of communities, conferring legitimacy on their work and on civil society organisations in Bolivia.

A cross-disciplinary trio of UCL researchers from the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute for Child Health, the UCL Institute of Education and UCL Civil, Environmental & Geomatic Engineering have received a Global Challenges Research Fund award to sponsor a world-leading health project in rural India to develop an integrated health, educational and environmental intervention to optimise infant feeding practices. The programme will partner with Save the Children, Indian NGOs and community members.
A collaborative project led by the UCL Development Planning Unit received the Bartlett Research Materialisation Grant for an investigation into the cost and impact of the current migratory wave in Europe. The research consists of a multi-scale analysis of the spatial, social and economic impacts of migration, and aims to map the different dynamics through an interactive platform, providing a reliable overlap of data to better interpret and cope with the intensifying impact of migration on cities.
Philippines A new project led by researchers at UCL’s Institute of Education (IOE) will explore how online joking can be used to improve digital literacy and learning skills in young people from disadvantaged backgrounds in the UK and the Philippines. The project aims to facilitate understanding of non-literal meanings and take advantage of the fact that humour is a fantastic motivator for children. This is the first collaboration between the IOE and Ateneo de Manila University in Quezon City.
Israel Researchers at UCL and the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel have revealed that the area of the brain used to control the hand supports instead the lips, feet or arms of people who are born with only one hand. This is the first study to show multiple, non-adjacent body parts benefiting from the same cortical territory. The authors hope to harness this process of brain plasticity to better integrate assistive and augmentative technology, such as artificial arms, to improve health and quality of life.
Congo New UCL research has demonstrated how strong relationships between friends connect different households, facilitating the exchange of informa tion and culture. Friendship is one of the secrets to humans’ success as a species. Researchers on the Hunter-Gatherer Resilience Project in UCL Anthropology used motes, wireless tracking devices worn as armbands, to map the social networks of remote Agta and BaYaka populations in Congo and the Philippines; hunter-gatherers offering the closest existing examples of social organisation in the past, and vital insights into human evolutionary history.
Australia A UCL-led team including academics at the Universities of Adelaide and Queensland have produced the first global map of alien bird species. The study shows that the number of alien birds in an area – that is, birds not native to where they are found – is determined primarily by human activity. Data on the movement of almost 1,000 alien bird species between 1500 and 2000 AD showed that movement over the last 500 years was largely attributable to colonialism, but more than half of all known bird introductions were found to occur after 1950, likely driven by the cage bird trade. The researchers say this trend is expected to continue.
UCL’S GLOBAL REACH /
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.
Lifting the lid on an ancient name A multidisciplinary team from UCL Arts and Humanities and Engineering Sciences has recovered the name of an Egyptian mummy who had been interred in a 3,000 year-old coffin, now on display at Chiddingstone Castle in Kent. The team captured multispectral images of inscriptions on the coffin using an infrared filter, based on their knowledge that Egyptian blue, which was discernible, would fluoresce in this filter. The name was revealed to be Irethoreru, meaning ‘The eye of Horus is against them’, a common male name between 664 BCE and 30 CE. Ancient Egyptians believed that a person would have eternal life when their name was spoken aloud but the hieroglyphs on the coffin lid had faded away.
UCL lawyer scoops prizes for research-led memoir
Foreseeing an Alzheimer's treatment in eye drug Scientists from the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology have discovered that a drug used to treat a common eye disease also has the potential to be used in Alzheimer’s treatment. Brimonidine, a commonly-used drug for the treatment of glaucoma, has been found to reduce the formation of amyloid proteins in the retina – a process associated with Alzheimer’s disease that allows the progression of the disease to be diagnosed and tracked through the retina. Though not tested in the study, UCL researchers are hopeful that the effects of brimonidine will work similarly in the brain.
East West Street, the new book by Professor Philippe Sands QC of UCL Laws, has won the 2016 Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction, the 2017 Jewish Quarterly Wingate Prize, and been shortlisted for the Christopher G. Moore Prize 2017. East West Street is a non-fiction work blending intellectual history, memoir, and biography. It focuses on the origins of the legal terms ‘genocide’ and ‘crimes against humanity’ through the geographic focal point of a Ukrainian city, Lviv. Professor Sands is a practising barrister who teaches at UCL in the areas of public international law, international dispute settlement, and environmental and natural resources law.
09
Space rocks A team of researchers led by UCL Physics & Astronomy has discovered the first ever evidence for rocky planet formation around a double star system roughly 1,000 light years away. It had previously been thought that the gravitational interaction between stars in a binary system meant that conditions would be too unstable for these planets to form close to their parent stars, however, the dust and debris observed surrounding the SDSS 1557 system was found to have high levels of metals, including silicon and magnesium, in stark contrast to the usual carbon-rich, icy material found around binary systems. This debris could represent the “leftovers” of rocky planet formation, rather like the asteroid belt in our own Solar System.
Going bats for conservation UCL scientists are part of a project that monitors the activity of urban bats in real time using new automated smart detectors at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in East London. Installed at 15 sites, the monitors use ultrasonic microphones to capture bat sounds at frequencies above the level of human hearing. The monitors will be used to track species and their activity levels, as well as to provide live data to the public and give an insight into the wildlife health of the park. Being a good indicator species, bats are often used to measure the health of our environment.
Smells like cultural history A researcher at the UCL Institute for Sustainable Heritage is travelling across England creating chemical blueprints for different scents. PhD student Cecilia Bembibre breaks down smells into compounds in order to deepen our understanding of human experience. Among the scents studied is ‘old book smell’, which she says is a mix of ‘acetic acid, furfural, benzaldehyde, vanillin and hexanol.’ Bembibre’s research is currently focused on two sites: Knole House (the setting of Virginia Woolf’s Orlando), and the library at St Paul’s Cathedral. Bembibre hopes her research will contribute to a more multi-dimensional understanding of heritage.

“Early warning system”
Chirp wings its way
for cancer
to gaming deal
Researchers from the UCL’s Institute for Women’s Health, Europe’s biggest research centre into women’s cancers, are close to creating the world’s first early warning system for four women’s cancers, up to five years in advance. The novel approach involves epigenetics – the study of mechanisms that switch genes on and off – to search for future indicators of cancer. The potential breakthrough could transform the treatment of cancer worldwide by moving the focus from early detection to prevention and has been compared to the impact of statins on cutting cardiovascular disease.
Chirp, an app developed by UCL spin-off business Animal Systems, has recently signed with one of the world’s biggest gaming businesses for use of the app in the Skylanders console game. Chirp, founded by researchers in UCL Computer Science, allows users to download content via short clips of audio that sound like digital birdsong. The deal with gaming giant Activision means that players can use Chirp to download Skylanders characters to their phones.
New media... old games Professor Andrew Burn of UCL’s Knowledge Lab recently won the American Folklore Society’s Opie Prize for his book, Children’s Games in the New Media Age. The book, based on an AHRC-funded project, challenges popular misconceptions about children’s play being depleted and threatened by television and computer games. In some ways, children’s games were found to persist over time; many of the same games were found in today’s playgrounds as in the 1950s. At the same time, new kinds of play creatively adapted the media of the digital age; one game used hula-hoops as safe areas surrounded by imaginary dangers, including icebergs and zombies, and was organised by its eight-year-old inventors into game-like levels.

Legacy of British
11
slave-owners lost but not forgotten The new Centre for the Study of the Legacies of British Slave-ownership (LBS) provides a permanent platform for LBS’ important research into the role of slavery in the formation of modern Britain, its industry and culture. Funded by grants from the ESRC and the AHRC, the project became the subject of a BAFTA award-winning BBC documentary in 2016, Britain’s Forgotten Slave-owners. The aim of the centre is to re-inscribe slave-ownership in the history of Britain, from which it has been elided for almost two centuries. LBS’s work has highlighted thousands of elite individuals who owed their fortunes to slavery as well as many more ordinary people who were financially dependent on the slave system.
UCL spin-outs on a roll UCL spin-outs are at the heart of a new £1 billion cancer biotech investment fund created by three major investors including Syncona, the healthcare investment company aligned with the Wellcome Trust and Cancer Research UK. Syncona has been a leading investor in UCL spin-outs, most recently in cancer immunotherapy companies Autolus and Achilles Therapeutics, and in Freeline Therapeutics. UCL has a long and successful track record of commercialising its research through its technology transfer company UCL Business (UCLB). UCLB has launched more than 60 spin-out companies to bring intellectual property developed by UCL researchers to market.

Matt Davies
Lecturer in African Studies I joined UCL in 2015 to assist in the development and teaching of our new African Studies programme, working to re-think traditional African Studies by combining approaches from across the arts and humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. We now run four African Studies Master’s degrees with specialist, career-focused pathways in Health, Environment, Heritage and Education. My personal research engages strongly with both the Environment and Heritage pathways. Using interviews, participant observation and a range of empirical environmental data, I work with farmers in northwest Kenya to examine the history of environmental change and management in the region. This work produces historical accounts of changing landscapes, settlements, plants, soils and climate that I then use to engage with contemporary agricultural development and climate change initiatives. Working at UCL has been exciting and inspiring. Staff and students think outside of the box and across disciplinary boundaries, fostering a unique environment in which my interdisciplinary teaching and research can thrive.

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. Our faculty brings together a wealth of scientific and clinical expertise and provides recognised world-class education in both taught and research graduate programmes.
Lasana Harris
Senior Lecturer in Social Cognition My research focuses on person perception – how we view others. I examine physical perceptions of other people’s bodies, and social cognition – our ability to get inside people’s heads. I have demonstrated that this spontaneous ability is flexible; it can be extended to agents without minds (or heads), resulting in anthropomorphism, and can be withheld from other people, resulting in a dehumanised perception. I take an interdisciplinary approach, using the tools of neuroscience, including fMRI, EEG, hormones, facial EMG, GSR, heart-rate, eye-tracking, and patient populations in addition to behavioural measures that include economic games, surveys, and vignette studies. In addition, my work is particularly relevant for the social sciences and humanities because my focus in on the social process, not necessarily the brain. As such, it is able to constrain theory in disciplines such as history, literary studies, philosophy, political science, and economics.

Yaspia Selema Education PhD
My research examines how two state-maintained schools in London approach the transition of children’s (age 3-4) free play cultures and practices between home and nursery settings. With growing awareness regarding the significant role of play in children’s development, and concerns that with accountability measures, education policies in the UK are marginalising children’s play opportunities, this research is timely and relevant. Over a period of six months, children were given access to multiple verbal and non-verbal participatory tools, enabling them to share their free play experiences in creative ways such as through drawings and photographs. Children selected some of these pieces to engage in dialogue and make meaning of them with their parents, teachers and me. My research suggests the need for practitioners to recognise the importance of children’s emotions and their meaning-making of adult-child relationships that are constantly evolving, in order to understand their play experiences.

The centre is interdisciplinary and draws on the sciences, social sciences and humanities to enable creative approaches to the questions we face in forensic science. This is reflected in our diverse cohort of postgraduate students who come from a range of different backgrounds. Our research covers all forms of trace evidence, from trace DNA to environmental materials (such as soils or diatoms). We seek to create the evidence bases that are needed to better understand how trace materials behave, and how and when they transfer and persist. We are also looking to develop the best means of interpreting what it means, and how significant it is, when we identify a particular trace at a particular place at a particular time in a forensic case. Our goal is to be doing research that is used in the real world to enable forensic reconstructions, enhance forensic investigations and have impact in the justice system.

Mark Dsouza
Lecturer in Law
I chose to work at UCL because it is a magnet for legal research, learning, and outreach of the very highest quality, and it is ideally located in the political, business, and academic heart of Western Europe. My principal research interests lie in the theory and philosophy of criminal law. In particular, I research and write on the criminal law theory of justifications, excuses, and claims of consent. I am also keenly interested in doctrinal law relating to inchoate and accessorial liability. I co-organise the Assize Seminar Series in Cutting Edge Criminal Law (which rotates between Oxford, UCL, and Cambridge), and co-organised a conference called Joint Enterprise after Jogee on criminal accessorial liability (London, September 2016). These events bring legal and criminological academics and students together with members of the judiciary, the Law Commission, the CPS, the bar, the police and campaign groups, to examine problematic issues in criminal law and make suggestions for reform.

FACULTY OF
LIFE SCIENCES /
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.
Claudia Hinze
Life Sciences PhD
The complexity of the human body and its underlying molecular regulations have always fascinated me. At UCL Structural and Molecular Biology, I have the opportunity to interact with world-class researchers, and apply a range of cutting-edge technologies to address my research questions. My PhD focuses on endocytic activity and its impact on maintaining mammalian cells in a quiescent state. Quiescent cells have reversibly left the cell cycle, but can resume proliferation upon appropriate stimuli. They account for a pronounced proportion of cells in the adult human body: dormant stem cells, naĂŻve lymphocytes, hepatocytes, epidermal and endothelial cells are only a few examples. Cancer cells can evade treatment by becoming dormant, so-called cancer stem cells. A better understanding of proliferative quiescence and how it is regulated will open the door for new therapies and I hope that my work will contribute to that progress.

Frontline research feeds directly into our teaching programmes, and our students benefit from access to first-class facilities. The faculty offers a range of programmes in emerging as well as more traditional academic areas.
Matthew Dodd
Earth Sciences PhD My PhD research involves using micro-analytical methods for nanoscale, geochemical characterisation of Earth’s oldest organic carbon. The overarching goal is to trace the origin of organic carbon as a biosignature for early life on Earth and elsewhere in the Solar system. A large portion of my work involves looking at Earth’s oldest sediments to assess where organic carbon appears, and then comparing this to known biological assemblages in younger sediments. It was my systematic study of organic carbon and biomineral combinations that led me and my collaborators to discover evidence for biologically formed organic carbon in Earth’s oldest hydrothermal vent sediments. Associated with this organic carbon and other biominerals, we found the remains of fossilised microbes representing the oldest known lifeforms on Earth, providing evidence for life on Earth in hydrothermal vent environments over 3,770 million years ago. My research continues with the aim of providing the means to interpret and ascertain the origins of organic carbon and life in the universe.

Alexandra Bridarolli Medical Sciences PhD
My PhD sits at the interface of the chemical and physical sciences and conservation. I am interested in fragile modern paintings characterised by a very brittle canvas that, if it breaks, can put the paint layer and thus the entire painting at risk. My research at the UCL Eastman Dental Institute is sponsored by the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Science and Engineering in Arts, Heritage and Archaeology (SEAHA) and the EU project NanoRestart. I am looking at new nanocellulose-based compounds and at their potential use as consolidants to reinforce degraded painting canvases. Working at UCL gives me access to high precision instruments to assess the properties of these compounds from the macrodown to the nanoscale. Additionally, fruitful discussion with conservators enables me then to translate my research from the lab to real cases. This is essential to ensure that a viable solution can be found so that future generations can also enjoy artworks from Van Gogh, Picasso, Munch and many others.

POPULATION HEALTH SCIENCES /
Our goal is to produce outstanding students equipped to promote improvements in health worldwide. Encompassing institutes in women’s health, child health, global health and cardiovascular sciences, as well as in epidemiology and health care, clinical trials, and health informatics, the faculty has created an exciting and cross-disciplinary environment for the study of population health across the lifecourse.
Ben Howitt
Data Science for Research in Health and Biomedicine MSc I’m doing a one-year MSc in Data Science for Research in Health and Biomedicine, so I’ve spent this year learning about methods in statistics, epidemiology and machine learning. UCL does a lot of work in records research, identifying risk factors and treatment pathways from routinely collected data in primary, secondary and community care. That means it’s a hugely interdisciplinary field, drawing in people with clinical, statistics, science and software engineering backgrounds, and the work has wide-ranging applications within and outside healthcare. My dissertation project focuses on mental health discussions on Twitter. I’m using methods rooted in network theory and text mining to try and identify opportunistic online communities who talk about mental health issues in different ways. Massive, relatively unstructured datasets such as Twitter unlock new methods for public health monitoring and remote individual support, and offer a way to reach populations that don’t engage as well with traditional mental health support.

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 Ormond 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 56 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.
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. 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.

The UCL School of Slavonic & East European Studies (SSEES) is the world’s foremost centre for the study of Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, Russia and Eurasia. Rooted in a tradition of groundbreaking, cross-disciplinary research into the region, we offer innovative programmes in economics and business, history, languages and culture, politics and sociology.
Peter Braga
Slavonic and East European Studies PhD My research investigates how regimes in East Europe use links with China to remain in power. Russia, Belarus and Ukraine are increasing their interaction with China – one conspicuous example being participation in China’s Silk Road Development Project. Russia, Belarus and Ukraine all hope to develop transit hubs and serve as Europe’s gateways for goods travelling to and from China. My field of research is authoritarian persistence. I study the strategies and tactics regimes use to promote internal stability and prolong autocratic, domestic rule. The approach and varied methods that I use distinguish my research. While the tendency is for studies to fixate on China’s actions, I take a different perspective, focusing instead on how others try to use China. With this approach, I can offer adjustments to certain international relations theories. My research methods combine sentiment analysis machine learning, statistics and case studies.

Research groups and strengths
SSEES’s mission has three main goals: first, creating in-depth knowledge of Russia and Eastern Europe in regional, comparative, transnational, and global contexts, and promoting and disseminating an understanding of our region to the wider world; second, developing multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and multi-method approaches to knowledge creation and to teaching; and third, promoting and enhancing the development of area studies at UCL and among the wider academic community. SSEES leads the inter-university Centre for East European Language Based Area Studies (CEELBAS) and hosts a number of interdisciplinary research centres and groups: 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 the FRINGE Centre for the Study of Social & Cultural Complexity and the CCSEE (the Centre for Comparative Studies of Emerging Economies). Our researchers lead one of the four strands of a 21-strong international consortium, working on a major EU-funded project (ANTICORRP, that investigates European responses to the challenge of corruption). In January 2018 we are launching FATIGUE, a doctoral programme coordinated by SSEES and run by a consortium of six universities. This programme focuses on the rise of right wing populism in the world, its causes and its consequences.
A list of taught programmes can be found on pages 57 The London advantage

Ben Kaplan
Professor of Dutch History My research is on the history of religious toleration and conflict in Europe after the Reformations. I’m interested less in ideas than in the practice of toleration: how, in a very religious era, groups who in theory were bitter enemies managed in Holland and other parts of Europe to live together peacefully – and when the peace between them broke down, I want to know why. Though these questions are historical, I believe they have great relevance to our world today. In search of answers, I study the nitty-gritty practicalities of life in religiously mixed communities, like how worship by different groups was accommodated in places with just one church-building. I want to know whether people of different faiths attended the same schools, shared charitable resources, or wore similar clothing. Did they intermarry? How were disputes handled? It’s surprising how little we actually know about such things.

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 Octagon Small Grants Funding Scheme, 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.

FACULTY OF SOCIAL & HISTORICAL SCIENCES /
Types of study and entry requirements /
Research programmes We offer a variety of research programmes which include the opportunity to undertake substantial, in-depth research and make an original contribution to your chosen field. Research degrees may start at any time of the year, but typically begin in September.
Doctor of Philosophy – PhD Master of Philosophy – MPhil
Taught programmes Our taught programmes are designed to meet a range of needs – they may provide a foundation for research, or a route to career advancement. Many of them offer flexible learning options to allow you to combine your study with professional or personal commitments. Taught programmes normally begin at the start of the academic year in September.
PhD study is offered in all UCL’s academic units. Students are required initially to register for the MPhil qualification and upgrade after one year (it is also possible to register with the intention of graduating with the MPhil degree). The MPhil/PhD programme normally lasts for three years full-time or five years part-time, although some are offered on a four-year full-time basis.
Master’s programmes
UCL hosts a large number of prestigious, UK government funded, Doctoral Training Centres. Programmes are funded for four years. The first year includes taught elements for developing research and transferable skills as well as a research element to explore potential PhD-level topics. For a list of the centres, see www.ucl.ac.uk/ graduate/research
Master’s programmes usually extend over 12 months full-time or two years part-time; an increasing number are offered on a flexible learning basis over three to five years. Many programmes offered by the IOE combine face-to-face sessions with online learning. Please see individual programme entries online at www.ucl.ac.uk/graduate.
Doctor in Engineering – EngD
This is a four-year, full-time programme, developed to provide business and technical expertise in conjunction with doctoral-level research skills. Students carry out an industrial research project within a company as part of the programme.
Doctor of Medicine (Research) – MD(Res)
This programme is aimed specifically at clinical practitioners who wish to undertake a piece of supervised research associated with their employment. Students must be registered for a minimum of two calendar years (either full-time or part-time) before submitting a thesis for examination.
Professional Doctorates
These programmes provide an education at an intellectual level equivalent to that of a PhD. In addition to the research component and thesis, they include elements of a practical, work-related and professional nature, as well as taught components assessed by coursework.
These include Master of: Architecture (MArch), Arts (MA), Business Administration (MBA), Clinical Dentistry (MClinDent), Fine Art (MFA), Laws (LLM), Planning (MPlan), Public Administration (MPA), Science (MSc), Surgery (MS), Teaching (MTeach), as well as Executive Master of Public Administration (EMPA).
Master of Research – MRes
The MRes degree normally extends over 12 months full-time, though some may be offered part-time (please see individual programme entries online at www.ucl.ac.uk/graduate for information). The degree includes taught elements, a significant research component, and training in research techniques to form the basis for doctoral study or a research career.
Postgraduate Diploma – PG Dip
These programmes usually share an identical syllabus with the taught component of a corresponding Master’s programme, and extend over nine months full-time or two years part-time, or longer if flexible study is offered.
Postgraduate Certificate – PG Cert
These programmes offer a certificated qualification attained over a shorter period of study – usually 15 weeks full-time or over one to two years if taken flexibly. They usually consist of selected components of a corresponding Master’s or Postgraduate Diploma programme.
Graduate Certificates and Diplomas – GradCert, Grad Dip
Professional Doctorates are offered within the Faculties of Brain Sciences and Medical Sciences and the Institute of Education.
For details (including entry requirements) of Graduate Certificates and Diplomas in Archaeology, Civil Engineering and Education please contact the relevant department.
Master in Philosophical Studies – MPhil Stud
Distance learning
This two-year research degree, offered by the Department of Philosophy, includes a significant taught component and is the standard route for entry for a PhD in the department.
An increasing number of UCL graduate programmes can be taken on a distance learning basis, whereby some or all teaching is delivered online. Please see individual programme entries online at www.ucl.ac.uk/graduate
Short courses and continuing professional development Academic units may offer modules from taught programmes and/or short courses, seminars and summer schools to support continuing professional development or for general interest. See www.ucl.ac.uk/ lifelearning for more information. GRADUATE PROSPECTUS 2018/19 ENTRY /

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.
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.
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.
GRADUATE PROSPECTUS 2018/19 ENTRY /
