Meet our spiritual founder

Jeremy Bentham at UCL

UCL was founded in 1826 to open up higher education to those in England who had been excluded from it.

The philosopher Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) is considered to be UCL’s spiritual founder.
He believed that education should be available to all who could benefit from it.
