Integration of research and education: review of progress

UCL is known for its radical approach to research and study.

Our Connected Curriculum seeks to bring together the twin roles of a university – generating knowledge and inspiring learning – to offer every student the opportunity to carry out research, at every level of study, challenging them to develop independent, critical thinking, so that they are qualified and inspired to make an impact on society.

Liberating the curriculum

Our Liberating the Curriculum initiative challenges us to make teaching and learning at UCL richer and more inclusive. UCL medical students Hope Chow and Jessie Low worked on a mapping project to explore how UCL Medical School could include marginalized voices in the curriculum, enabling students to become better doctors in the future.

After Ecuador requested an advisory opinion on Julian Assange’s claim to asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, a group of UCL Laws students submitted a brief to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and were invited to Costa Rica to contribute to the oral phase of the proceedings.
