UCL's History

(source: UCL Website)

Just 175 years ago, the benefits of a university education in England were restricted to men who were members of the Church of England; UCL was founded to challenge that discrimination. UCL was the first university to be established in England after Oxford and Cambridge, providing a progressive alternative to those institutions’ social exclusivity, religious restrictions and academic constraints.

The university's main building was designed by William Wilkins who went on to build the National Gallery.

Some Interesting Facts

The first university in England to admit students of any race, class or religion, and the first to welcome women on equal terms with men.
Students from outside London, and from overseas, present from the start.
A teaching programme was established in which religious beliefs would not constrain the dissemination of knowledge and exploration of ideas.
Academic disciplines introduced as required by the emerging industrial and commercial society; the first English university to offer the systematic teaching of law, architecture and medicine.

Vision of UCL Alumni Singapore

"To Build an Engaging Network for the UCL Family in Singapore"

is what we like to achieve for our Alumni network in Singapore.

We remember and relish the wonderful times that we’ve had with our friends during our days at UCL. Sharing our home-cooked delights and going on trips to the Lake District were some of the many memorable moments we shared. Long-lasting friendships were made back then.

Today, we catch up with our friends not only to talk about the good old times but share our new interests and pursuits in life. We welcome new members from around the globe to our family and help them adjust to life in Singapore.

We sincerely appreciate your continued support and participation to keep this Alumni network a vibrant resource for our UCL family.
