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.

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

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.
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.
Belize
A UCL Archaeology team is leading two long-term
archaeological field projects at Maya sites in Belize.
An excavation of the important Lamanai site has
had a significant impact on tourism and the local
economy, which has benefited from 212,800 visitors
between 2008–2013. A subsequent invitation to the
Marco Gonzalez site, on Ambergris Caye, helped
prevent its destruction by developers and has
created a new recognition of local Maya heritage.
Peru
UCL engineers are working with
the Peruvian, German and UK
governments to develop and
implement low carbon transport
policies. They are working on a
demonstration project in Lima,
which will show how such
policies can improve the quality
of life for the whole population.
North and South Poles
Researchers from UCL Earth Sciences are working to interpret the data from the European Space
Agency’s CryoSat mission, designed to measure the changing thickness of land and sea ice over
the Earth’s polar regions and determine how these regions are affected by climate change.
GRADUATE PROSPECTUS 2016/17 ENTRY /
05
Europe
UCL joins EU’s Graphene project to explore graphene applications
and commercialisation. The UCL scientists’ work will focus on
sheets of graphene in which about half of the carbon atoms are
replaced with nitrogen. This changes the properties of the graphene,
producing a web-like structure rather than a solid sheet, which gives
it a much larger surface area. This structure modifies its electrical
properties and can be good for a range of applications including
batteries and catalysts.
Nepal
Xtreme Everest, founded by doctors and scientists at
UCL, has been conducting high altitude research in the
Himalayas for the last ten years. Their aim is to understand
more about how humans adapt to the low level of oxygen
at altitude and ultimately improve survival rates of critically
ill patients in intensive care.
Yemen
India
The UCL Institute of Education
worked with the Republic of
Yemen to support aspects of
the development of their school
system. This consultancy, funded
by the World Bank, provides
tailored leadership development for
members of the Modernisation Task
Force and the Ministry of Education.
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 2013–2017 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.
Congo Basin
South Africa
UCL has a partnership with the Africa Centre
for Health and Population Studies based in
KwaZulu-Natal. The centre carries out research
on population and health issues affecting a rural
population with one of the highest burdens of
HIV in the world. The partnership provides the
opportunity to develop novel research ideas
and collaborations, whilst at the same time
maximising the potential and impact of
supported research projects.
A UCL Anthropology team have
conducted research on how to
implement the concept of free, prior
and informed consent (FPIC) in the
relations between forest dwellers and
powerful companies. Further work
with UCL Civil, Environmental &
Geomatic Engineering has helped
remote forest communities monitor
logging companies, poachers,
hunting offtake, and to document
human rights abuses and corruption.
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.
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.
TB or not TB
Together with their global partners, scientists at UCL-TB have helped to reduce
the time needed to genetically sequence the bacteria causing tuberculosis
(Mtb) from weeks to days. As part of the European Union FP7-funded
PATHSEEK consortium they have developed a new technique that could help
health service providers to better treat disease, control transmission of this
infection, and monitor outbreaks. With the rapid sequencing this work makes
available, it will be possible to trace TB infections in communities, or to identify
a few highly infectious people, sometimes called ‘super-spreaders’.
Gather with kith and kin
A team of researchers from the Hunter-Gatherer Resilience Project
in UCL Anthropology have demonstrated that sex equality in
decision-making within hunter-gatherer groups results in a lower
level of relatedness in a group’s composition. The team’s work
noted that it wasn’t that individuals are not interested in living with
kin, but rather, if all individuals seek to live with as many kin as
possible, no-one ends up living with many kin at all. It is from
modern-day hunter-gatherer societies that we get the closest
extant examples of human lifestyles and social organisation in the
past, offering important insights into human evolutionary history.
GRADUATE PROSPECTUS 2016/17 ENTRY /
Able cable
A new way to process fibre optic signals has been demonstrated
by UCL Engineering researchers. This could double the distance
at which data travels error-free through transatlantic submarine
cables. The new method has the potential to reduce the costs
of long-distance optical fibre communications. Signals would no
longer need to be electronically boosted on their underground
or ocean-floor journeys. One of the biggest global challenges is
how to maintain communications with demand for the Internet
booming – finding processes to overcome the capacity limits
of optical fibre cables is a large part of solving that problem.
07
Genome is where the heart is
Researchers at UCL’s Genetics Institute, along with those from the
University of Oxford and the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute
in Australia, have helped create the first fine-scale genetic map
of any country in the world. The Wellcome Trust-funded People
of the British Isles study enabled researchers to ‘zoom in’ to
examine the genetic patterns in the UK. Subtle genetic differences
between UK regions were teased out using sophisticated statistical
methods that model how the population’s genomes are made up of
stretches of DNA, passed down the generations from ancestors.
Many people in the UK feel a strong sense of regional identity, and
it now appears that there may be a scientific basis to this feeling.
Maintaining a clean sheet
A super-hydrophobic paint developed by scientists in UCL Chemistry
could have great promise for commercial self-cleaning coatings. It can
be applied to many surfaces and forms a tough surface that resists
abrasion, and repels water extremely effectively. As the water forms a
bead and rolls off the surface, it dislodges any dust, dirt, bacteria or
viruses that are present. In the example shown, a pattern has been
drawn onto glass using the coating, and water is repelled from the
painted areas and restricted to the untreated areas.
A FLAVOUR OF UCL’S RESEARCH /
Seen and heard
A UCL Institute of Education study explores the
experiences of children and young people in residential
special schools. The research, undertaken for the Office
of the Children’s Commissioner, showed the challenges
professionals have in ‘hearing’ every child, particularly
those with severe communication challenges. It also
revealed further pressures, not only in spending sufficient
time understanding the child, but also supporting plans
necessary for his or her wellbeing. Children who took
part in the project collaborated with an illustrator to
produce a book of images and cartoons, My Life at
School, to express their thoughts, feelings and opinions.
Courting opinion
At the request of the senior judiciary in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, the UCL
Judicial Institute has conducted the first ever survey of all serving salaried judges in the UK about their
working lives. The results show that there are deep-seated concerns amongst most judges about the
decline in working conditions in recent years. The survey found that 75% of judges have suffered a
net loss of earnings over the last five years, and 78% said that their pay and pension together do not
adequately reflect the work they do. The study found that the overwhelming majority of judges at all
levels of the judiciary would not encourage suitably qualified candidates to apply to join their ranks
due to declining working conditions and income, and a very high proportion of judges are considering
leaving the judiciary for the same reasons.
09
One lab ‘to go’
A cross-disciplinary team of students from UCL Life Sciences,
Engineering and Physics is on a mission to make biology available
to all: curious makers, ambitious students, innovative artists and
cutting-edge scientists. The 30cm x 21cm x 5cm Bento Lab is the
first complete personal laboratory, complete with a 12-samples PCR
machine, a 12,000 rpm centrifuge and a gel electrophoresis unit with
blue LED transillumination. Bento Lab aims to make all aspects of bio
intuitive, empowering, convenient and fun. It is also intended to make
the future of biology more inclusive, fair and democratic for everyone.
Feeling chirpy
Chirp, the award-winning sonic data transfer app developed and launched
at UCL, received investment pledges totalling over £750,000 from a 2015
Crowdcube fundraising call. This is the largest amount raised by any UK
university spinout company via crowdfunding and the first for a UCL
spinout. This included a pledge of £215,000 from London-based
investment firm GuanQun Investment UK. The campaign also benefited
from an early match-funding pledge from the London Co-Investment
Fund. Chirp is a highly flexible platform and can be used to share any data,
from pictures to payments. The company behind Chirp pushed out a
number of new product features including Chirp for Chrome. Chirp has
gone on to establish itself as a Top 20 App in 58 App Stores worldwide.
Corpora benefits
There is a long tradition of using invented sentences to illustrate grammar in
textbooks. The UCL Survey of English Usage, established in 1959, collected
and analysed a number of corpora of spoken and written English and in 1998
was used as a basis for the Internet Grammar of English, which eventually
accumulated over 3.7 million users. Now, with support from UCL Business plc,
UCL researchers from the UCL English have developed a popular app, called
iGE. Since its launch the app has been downloaded by over 46,000 users,
becoming a widely recommended learning tool for English, with a five-star
rating on both the Apple and the Google Play stores. It is available in free and
paid versions, and accessible worldwide.

FACULTY OF
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 departments of English,
Philosophy, Classics, Hebrew and Jewish Studies, Information
Studies, Modern European Languages and Fine Art, and within
the Centre for Multidisciplinary & Intercultural Inquiry.
Dr Stephanie Bird
Senior Lecturer in German
I’m interested in the novel, narrative
technique, literary theory and
theories of gender. I have worked
on the interaction of fact and fiction
in the novel, on the relationship of
female and national identity, and on
the representation and ethics of
shame. I’m currently working on
an interdisciplinary project with
German historians looking at the
reverberations of the Second World
War in Europe. Our focus is on
conflicting, unexpected and often
dissonant interpretations and
representations of these events in
order to enrich our understanding
of the complex ways in which the
disturbing past continues to haunt
– and is in turn disturbed by – a
later present. As part of this project
I’m writing a comparative study of
the role of comedy in the
representation of suffering in the
work of post-war German-language
writers and directors.

Amirah Modh Zaki
Ophthalmology PhD
I study the mechanisms underlying
the pathogenesis of ocular allergy,
focusing on the role of cytokines
(small protein mediators produced
by immune cells during allergic
inflammation). Cytokines released
by immune and non-immune cells
are important for cell signalling to
affect the behaviour of target cells/
tissues during allergic inflammation.
Proinflammatory cytokines are
known to cause symptoms seen in
allergic conjunctivitis. The focus of
my PhD is to identify the role of
IL-9, a proinflammatory cytokine
which is mostly known to be involved
in and upregulate symptoms which
are seen in allergic asthma. I have
used human conjunctiva tissue
biopsies alongside in vitro and in vivo
models of allergic conjunctivitis to
study the functional role of IL-9 and
its receptor. My research has enabled
us to understand the role of IL-9 as a
potential therapeutic target on the
ocular surface.

Professor Carey Jewitt
Professor of Technology
and Learning
I study the ways we communicate
and learn. With colleagues, I look
beyond language to understand
how teachers and students use a
range of resources to teach and
learn, their bodies, gesture and gaze
as well as images and objects, what
we call multimodal communication.
I also investigate the ways that digital
technologies shape communication
and learning and how these draw us
into looking, and physical forms of
interaction, rather than foregrounding
talk. We have researched how people
interact with a range of technologies
from everyday mobile devices, to
custom-made interfaces that rely on
whole body interaction, in schools,
museums, and the home. We are
developing methods for researching
the multimodal features of
interaction and digital interfaces, and
how they relate to learning. This
interdisciplinary work is relatively
new and very exciting, and involves
collaboration with colleagues from
sociology, psychology, human
computer interaction, fashion,
performance and art and design.
MAIN IMAGE: IOE research is making a
huge contribution to education policy and
practice in the UK and around the world.

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, multi-disciplinary 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 Virginia Mantouvalou
Reader in Human Rights and
Labour Law/Co-Director of
the Institute for Human Rights
I examine the interplay between
human rights and labour law. For
example, I explore the human and
labour rights of domestic workers,
the right to privacy in the workplace,
modern slavery, the labour rights of
undocumented migrants, the right to
work and social rights more broadly,
human rights and the contract of
employment. I believe that there is
scope for cross-fertilisation between
the two areas. I conduct both
theoretical and empirical research.
I hope that my research can help us
gain a better understanding both on
the foundations of the law and its
application and effects in real life.
I am particularly interested in the
protection of the most vulnerable
groups, such as domestic workers
and undocumented migrants
more generally.

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.
Veronika Kallo
Biosciences PhD
My PhD research focuses on
iron’s role in neurodegeneration.
The key pathological features of
sporadic neurodegenerative disorders
are the accumulation of iron, and
chronic inflammation in areas of
comprehensive cell death. I am
studying iron regulation in the brain
within microglial cells and neurons.
Microglia are principally responsible
for mediating inflammation within
neurons, which eventually undergo
cell death which is partly due to iron
deregulation during the inflammatory
process. I have developed further
insight into how iron metabolism
is altered by studying transport and
storage of iron within these cells,
under conditions of inflammation.
Gaining a more profound
understanding of iron regulation in
the central nervous system could
lead to the development of medical
interventions designed to treat and
maybe prevent neurodegenerative
disease. I sincerely hope that my
research endeavours will contribute
in some small way to this wider goal.

Marianna Demetriou
Statistical Science PhD
Modern computing power provides
the opportunity to simulate systems
of ever-increasing complexity;
inference from simulators is used
to inform high-impact strategies,
such as climate change adaptation
and risk assessment of natural
hazards. A significant level of
uncertainty arises from the choice
of simulator to inform about the
real state of the system under study;
a widely-used approach for
quantifying this uncertainty is to
combine information from different
simulators, which form the so-called
‘multi-model ensemble’ (MME).
My PhD research is about developing
a realistic statistical framework for
MME interpretation and quantifying
the underlying uncertainties, in order
to learn about reality. The challenge
of MME interpretation is timely and
arises in a range of applications,
ranging from climate science to
earthquake engineering.

Reproductive Science and
Women’s Health MSc
Pre-term birth is the leading cause
of child morbidity and mortality
around the world, and one of its
known associated risk factors is
the presence of urinary tract
infections in pregnant women.
My research investigates the role
of an alternative sampling method
to improve detection of these
infections. I interact directly with
the patients on labour wards to
obtain two urinary samples, one using
the standard mid-stream catch and
another using a urinary catheter.
These samples are immediately
analysed under the microscope for
various cells counts. The samples
are brought to the laboratory for
immunohistochemical staining which
allows for identification of specific
cell structures based on the strength
of the fluorescent signal. Enhanced
culture, gram staining and other
benchtop tests are also undertaken to
assess for the presence of fastidious
bacteria. Through comparative analysis
of both sampling methods, I hope to
establish which performs best at
identifying urinary tract infections.

Research groups and strengths
Our institutes together encompass conception, birth, childhood,
adolescence, adulthood, older age and death. The Institutes for
Women’s Health, of Child Health, Cardiovascular Science, and
Epidemiology & Health Care 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 52–53
The London advantage
Our central London location delivers huge competitive advantage
and academic benefit. Our links to, and involvement with, clinical
partners (UCL Partners, 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 in 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 Institute of Health
(NIH) and from the EU. UCL’s global health research is increasingly
multi-disciplinary, 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 audiovisual facilities as well as Lecturecast in many sites.
Major refurbishments in laboratories within the Institutes of Child
Health and 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.

to 1918. My work in this area is
fundamentally interdisciplinary and
draws on a broad range of cultural
disciplines, including film, dance,
literature, theatre and gender studies,
art history and history. My aim is
to explore the contribution early
Russian filmmakers made to the
development of the new art form
of cinema and to demonstrate the
still under-appreciated sophistication
and originality of Russian filmmaking
during this period. Other research
interests include the pre-Revolutionary
Russian film press, Soviet silent
cinema and its aesthetic relationship
with early Russian cinema, the
resurgence of fin-de-siècle concerns
in contemporary Russian cinema
and female filmmakers working
in 21st-century Russia.

Research groups and strengths
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
multi-disciplinary, 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 multi-disciplinary 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.

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 and 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.

Key features and facilities
SSEES is housed in a spectacular, award-winning building with a
renowned library at its centre. It is one of the leading research libraries
in the UK for the study of Central and Eastern Europe and the former
Soviet Union. Comprising around 400,000 volumes of books,
pamphlets and periodicals, the library is unique in the UK for the
quantity of research material on open access, its extensive archive,
collection of newspapers from the region and unique audio-visual
holdings. Students are also offered all the library resources of UCL,
including unparalleled access to electronic journals and databases.
SCHOOL OF SLAVONIC & EAST EUROPEAN STUDIES /
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.
Professor Jonathan Bell
Professor of American History
I’m a historian of US politics, with
a particular emphasis on American
liberalism since the New Deal and
the ways in which liberal politics have
adapted to social change during the
20th century. My current project,
tentatively entitled Unhealthy Bodies:
Health Care and the Rights Revolution
since the Sixties, aims to unite the
two phenomena of rights politics
and health care delivery politics to
help us understand how the sexual
and gender dynamics of medical care
in the US shed significant light on the
political culture of the nation at a time
of substantial political change in the
era of government and health care
retrenchment that began in the 1970s
and grew considerably in the Reagan
era. The project shows that both state
and private conceptions of gender and
sexuality impacted upon how a diverse
range of different population groups
experienced ‘health care’, and
demonstrates how a private-public
delivery system drastically impacted
upon the ability of rights movements
to translate basic legal rights into
full-blown economic citizenship.

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.
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 54–55
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 new 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 skills vary
depending on the area you focus on. However, some key ones are:
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.

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

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.
SPECULATIVE
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.
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.
STUDENTSHIPS
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.
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 2016/17 ENTRY /
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
admissions@ucl.ac.uk or telephone
