University College London (UCL) is a large university in London. It is the largest college of the federal University of London.[3] As well as undergraduate teaching, it is one of the largest research universities in the country.[4]
UCL was founded in 1826 as 'University College'. It was the first university institution to be founded in London and the first in England to be established on an entirely secular (non-religious) basis.[5] It admits students regardless of their religious beliefs. UCL was also the first admit women on equal terms with men.[6] University College became one of the two founding colleges of the University of London in 1836.
