About us
UCL is one of the world's top universities. At its establishment in 1826, UCL was radical and responsive to the needs of society, and this ethos – that excellence should go hand-in-hand with enriching society – continues today. UCL's excellence extends across all academic disciplines; from one of Europe's largest and most productive hubs for biomedical science interacting with several leading London hospitals, to world-renowned centres for architecture (UCL Bartlett) and fine art (UCL Slade School). With an annual turnover exceeding £1 billion, it is a major research and education hub in London and globally. The Chair of Political Economy at UCL was created in 1827 in memory of David Ricardo, thus establishing the first Department of Economics in England. The department of Economics has an outstanding international reputation in key areas of current research. It is the only department of economics in the UK to have received the outstanding grade-point average of 3.78 (out of 4) in the 2014 REF with 79% of all indicators of output rated at the highest 4* level. According to the grade point average (GPA) on the overall score, the REF 2014 has ranked the Department of Economics at UCL as: - the top Department in the UK in the field of Economics and Econometrics - the top Department at UCL, and - the top Department in any field in any university in the UK Further information about the Department of Economics is available from the department’s website at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/economics/ The UCL School of Management is home to UCL’s business and management research and education programmes.
