UCL is London’s Global University: 48% of our students are international, representing more than 150 different countries. In the current academic year, there are 287 students from Turkey enrolled on full degree programmes both at undergraduate and postgraduate level.

We are a world-leading, research-intensive university, currently ranked 9th in the World, in the QS World University Rankings, and 1st in London for research power in REF 2021. World-leading academics encourage our students to learn and realise their potential in an intellectually challenging and inclusive environment.

Choose from more than 400 specialist bachelor’s courses, 500 master’s courses and a huge variety of doctoral degrees, from Anthropology to Neuroscience. From day one we will help you focus on your chosen subject area, while supporting you to develop as an independent learner.

The interdisciplinary nature of our programmes means that you will receive a UCL education that extends beyond the boundaries of your subject area. You’ll be taught not what to think but rather how to think, and we will teach you within the context of what is happening in the real world and how to tackle real-world problems, from climate change to social mobility.
