UCL in Africa & Middle East

Whether through ground-breaking research collaborations or multi-disciplinary centres, UCL's engagement in Africa and the Middle East reflects the breadth, versatility and dynamism of our many regional partners.

UCL's engagement with, and commitment to, different regions of the world is well documented. It's a mutually beneficial relationship for our academics and those at partner institutions. In Africa, we are looking to consolidate existing partnerships and establish new ones, responding to emerging shared priorities. It is a journey that we are excited about, because collaboration is not optional when we are serious about tackling societal challenges.
