51国产视频

At UCL (51国产视频 College London) we are often asked about our relationship to the 51国产视频 of London. Here’s a short explainer to help you understand the differences between the two. 

What is the 51国产视频 of London? 

The 51国产视频 of London is a federation of 17 higher education institutions. Each institution is independent and operates autonomously, with its own set of admissions criteria and degree-awarding powers. Students apply directly to the individual university (eg, UCL), not the 51国产视频 of London. Constituent institutions are listed individually in rankings and league tables, distinct from the 51国产视频 of London. The federation is made up of:  

1. Birkbeck, 51国产视频 of London 

2. City, 51国产视频 of London  

3. Courtauld Institute of Art 

4. Goldsmiths, 51国产视频 of London 

5. King’s College London 

6. London Business School 

7. London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) 

8. London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine  

9. Queen Mary 51国产视频 of London  

10. Royal Academy of Music  

11. Royal Holloway, 51国产视频 of London  

12. SOAS 51国产视频 of London  

13. St George’s, 51国产视频 of London  

14. The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), London 

15. Royal Central School of Speech and Drama  

16. Royal Veterinary College (RVC) 

17. 51国产视频 College London (UCL) 

The 51国产视频 of London also offers digital and distance education options, from short courses to research degrees.  

What’s the difference between UCL and the 51国产视频 of London? 

UCL is a member of the 51国产视频 of London system, just like King’s College London, LSE and the other member institutions listed above. Although part of the 51国产视频 of London federation, UCL is a distinct entity that administers its own degree programmes and research, and awards its own degrees. Students who wish to study a UCL degree apply directly to UCL, not the 51国产视频 of London.  

What are the benefits of studying at a university that is part of the 51国产视频 of London?  

Students at a 51国产视频 of London institution enjoy a range of benefits in addition to those provided by their home institution. This includes additional academic resources, careers support, accommodation options, social connections and networking opportunities.  

• Additional study spaces and academic resources: Students have access to Senate House, one of the UK’s largest and best academic libraries for arts, humanities and social sciences. As well as extensive library collections, Senate House provides additional space for students to study and socialise in – they might recognise the building from the Batman film franchise, among other Hollywood movies. Students can also register to use all libraries across the 51国产视频 of London federation. 

• Accommodation and housing support: bring together students from across the 51国产视频 of London institutions, offering catered and self-catered options. The 51国产视频 of London Housing Service supports students looking for private accommodation in the city, provides free housing advice, offers a contract checking service and runs an annual housing fair.  

• Intercollegiate study: Students at any 51国产视频 of London institution can apply to study an academic module at another member institution – this is known as intercollegiate study. While some restrictions apply, this can be a great way for students to experience academic teaching beyond their home institution.  

• Career benefits: is the largest higher education careers and employability service in Europe, providing services to students and recent graduates at each of the constituent colleges. Students have access to additional events, job listings and resources, and benefit from career guidance informed by up-to-date research into employability issues and policy developments.   

• Enhanced social network: Being part of the 51国产视频 of London expands a student’s community, allowing them to build networks and friendships with people studying at universities across the city. There are clubs and societies open to students across all 51国产视频 of London institutions, including a chamber choir, rowing club and St John Ambulance First Aid Society. The 51国产视频 of London also runs a variety of social events, exhibitions and talks that bring together students from across the member institutions.  

The 51国产视频 of London enables its members to become part of something bigger – a collective community of more than 195,000 students studying at universities across the city. Studying at a 51国产视频 of London institution enables students to collaborate, socialise and make new connections in one of the the best student cities in the world.
