Established in 1826 UCL opened up education in England for the first time to students of any race, class or religion and was also the first university to welcome female students on equal terms with men.
Today UCL is made up of remarkable people: eminent professors and exceptional students. Academic excellence and conducting research that addresses real-world problems inform our ethos to this day.

Zaha Hadid, founding partner of Zaha Hadid Architects, was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2004 and is internationally known for her built, theoretical and academic work. Each of her dynamic and innovative projects builds on over thirty years of revolutionary experimentation and research in the interrelated fields of urbanism, architecture and design.
Working with senior office partner Patrik Schumacher, Hadid’s interest is in the rigorous interface between architecture, landscape, and geology as the practice integrates natural topography and human-made systems that lead to experimentation with cutting-edge technologies. Such a process often results in unexpected and dynamic architectural forms.
