Your life in London

As a UCL student, you're never far from leading companies in your industry, networking events that could shape your future career or inspiring people with a passion for their field.

We're based in iconic Bloomsbury and bustling Stratford — our neighbours include Google, the British Museum, the BBC, London Stadium, Bloomsbury Publishing and some of the best green spaces in London.

London is part of who we are. Join us and make this city part of your story.

Hear what some of our Master's students have to say about studying in London.

London taught me how to network, how to carve out opportunities, and how to create my own path. The city's creative energy is contagious, and if you’re willing to dive in and keep creating, the rewards are incredible.

What our students say about London life

"Studying at UCL placed me at the heart of one of the world’s leading hubs for science and innovation. The access to cutting-edge research facilities and collaboration with top-tier experts in my field was truly unparalleled. Every day, I felt inspired by the vibrant academic environment and the innovative projects that were happening all around me.”

“London allows me not only to engage with cutting-edge technologies and leading creative companies, but also to participate in immersive exhibitions and innovative events, where I can exchange ideas with industry leaders. This has not only greatly enriched my academic research and personal interests but has also given me a deep understanding of future industry trends, preparing me for my own career ahead.” 

— Tianxing Zhou, Immersive Factual Storytelling MA

"UCL’s central London location is another major factor that enhances its appeal. Being in London means being at the heart of global innovation, where world-class hospitals, research institutions, and industries are right at your doorstep.”
