UCL was founded in 1826, as the original University of
London, to provide university education to all who could benefit by it,
irrespective of race, creed, wealth or, later, gender.
Equality, diversity and inclusion are fundamental to the ethos of UCL Faculty of Life Sciences. UCL aims to foster a positive cultural climate where all staff and
students can flourish and be their authentic selves.
The Faculty has been associated with seven Nobel Laureates, the most recent in October 2014 when Professor John O'Keefe was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discoveries of cells that constitute a positioning system in the brain. Find out more about UCL Nobel Laureates.
