During the course of 3 academic years Laidlaw scholars will:

• get involved in UCL's research, working with academic staff on questions of global significance
• develop and practise leadership skills in preparation for life after graduation
• participate in the UCL Global Citizenship Programme
• join a high performing group of students from across UCL
• enhance their CV and employability for the future.

This prestigious programme runs at a number of high ranking universities and is coming to be regarded as an indicator of exceptional academic and leadership promise.
