UCL has risen two places to be named the third-best university in Europe according to the QS World University Rankings: Europe 2026. .
UCL has retained its second place rank in Europe for the strength of its international research networks, and third place for its academic reputation and currently sits in 9th place globally.
If you are considering postgraduate study, come and have a chat. I’ll be at the UCL Graduate Open Evening: Engineering, Mathematical and Physical Sciences and happy to share my perspective.
Equally, if you find this post at any point and can’t make the event, you are most welcome to contact me and I’m happy to answer some questions or direct you to resources that may help.
