“I am thrilled that UCL Laws has been recognised as the top law school in the UK. Alongside our outstanding and inclusive educational experience, we are proud to be a Faculty where our research is of the highest quality and makes considerable impact in society, locally and globally. All our academic endeavour – across teaching and research – is underpinned by uncompromising academic standards and an ethos that all students can excel given the opportunity. United by that collective commitment to excellence, our exceptional students, world-class academic colleagues, dedicated Professional Services staff, and esteemed alumni have all been integral to this success.
