Cutting-edge facilities
We are investing in a university fit for the 21st century and beyond. At UCL you'll find all the cutting-edge facilities you need to achieve great things.
Transforming our campus
UCL is creating campuses that help you do your best work, connect with others and feel part of a supportive community. Through thoughtful placemaking and vibrant neighbourhoods, we’re designing sustainable, adaptable environments that enrich learning, spark collaboration and support your wellbeing every day.
UCL Student Centre
Designed entirely around our students’ needs, our Student Centre includes 1,000 individual, group and open-plan study spaces, quiet contemplation areas, and easy access to help and support at the dedicated Student Enquiries Centre.
UCL East
Our UCL East campus includes state-of-the-art laboratories, fabrication workshops, collaboration areas and public spaces, providing facilities for cross-disciplinary research and open innovation, as well as new approaches to practical learning.
This world-class academic hub sits alongside contemporary student accommodation that provides an exciting student living experience in London’s vibrant East End.

UCL Libraries
With more than two million books and subscriptions to more than 35,000 journals in a combination of electronic and print formats, UCL Library Services gives you access to a vast range of resources across all subject areas.
We have 14 specialist libraries, with older material available on demand from our store outside London, and our valuable and historic material is housed in Special Collections.
UCL museums and galleries
Our world-class museums and galleries are part of what make UCL so special – ranging from Egyptology to pathology and taking in science, zoology and an art gallery along the way.
UCL Centre for Languages & International Education (CLIE)
Our comprehensive centre offers courses for credit in Arabic, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin and Spanish at up to seven levels.
English for Academic Purposes and Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) courses are also available.
We also run courses for students planning to study and work abroad, courses for those who do not meet UCL’s modern language requirement and in-sessional English language courses for international students.
To learn a language to enhance your studies, you can take an evening class in one of 17 languages, though these are not credited to your degree programme.
