Generation UCL: 200 Years of Student Life in London
25 Sep 2023 - 08 Dec 2024
Students are foundational to the story of UCL. Established in 1826 as the first university in England outside Oxford and Cambridge, UCL opened up higher education to those who had previously been denied access. This included religious minorities, the middle classes, and later, women. Since the beginning, students have been free to invent their own traditions and forge a distinctive student culture in London.
Through this exhibition, we celebrate students' contribution to life at UCL and in London.
