UCL CS is proud to be celebrating 10 years of the Department’s activities and commitment to Athena SWAN principles.
Ten years ago there were only 11% women academics in our department. Now, this percentage has almost doubled to 21%, one of the highest amongst Departments of Computer Science in the Russell Group Universities. The percentage of women students (undergraduate, masters and postgraduate), has also remained consistently above the Russell Group Average
