Collaboration and More Collaboration

Home to more than 50,000 students from 150 countries, the University College London (UCL) has always been at the forefront of educational prowess. However, over the past decade, this environment has been enhanced even further, testifying to this alongside a huge list of reputed alumni, which is the university’s consistent performance in the QS World University Rankings. In 2025, UCL retained its number one position for two subjects in the QS World University Rankings. Indeed, this is the 12th consecutive year UCL topped in education. It is also UCL’s third year, ranking first for Architecture & Built Environment.

Going forward, UCL has no plan to take its foot off the accelerator. The university’s recent collaboration with Indian universities is an example of its plan to widen its horizon and provide opportunities for more students across the world. The university has joined hands with the Indian Institute of Science, IIT (Delhi) and AIIMS, as well as its Global Disability Innovation Hub and India Excellence Scholarships. “By working in partnership with the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi (AIIMS) and the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi), we will advance the field of medical technology in areas such as detection, diagnostics and imaging; devices and implants; assistive technologies; digital health; artificial intelligence, machine learning and quantum; surgical and treatment interventions and sensing technologies,” said Dr. Michael Spence AC, President & Provost, University College London in an exclusive interview with Hindustan Times. Currently, UCL has 985 Indian students and 71 active research projects with India worth over £71 million in funding. At this interesting juncture of partnerships, we are delighted to publish our latest issue, which is dedicated to the prestigious alumni of UCL. Do let us know your thoughts.
