It's All Academic: The Campaign for UCL

It’s All Academic, the Campaign for UCL, has raised nearly £624 million, and inspired over 263,000 volunteering hours to help UCL, our students and our alumni community. Alumni, donors and volunteers joined staff and partners in ensuring the Campaign, which ran from September 2016 to July 2020, achieved its targets a year ahead of schedule. In service of our founding ambition to make the world a better place for us all, It's All Academic has demonstrated the power of UCL's brilliant community.

 

Focusing on the priority areas of Health, Students, Disruptive Thinking and London, the Campaign has accelerated breakthroughs in some of the world's greatest health challenges, like neuroscience and cancer; built a supportive, pioneering and globally connected research, learning and teaching environment, and nurtured one of the most brilliant gatherings of minds in the world. It has accomplished these achievements by working partnership with our 15,884 donors and 10,678 volunteers, from across 84 countries.
