As a member of Bloomsbury’s Knowledge Quarter, UCL provides you with access to context and support for your studies with an unrivalled range of libraries, archives, galleries, research institutions and professional bodies. Nearby are major firms such as Arup, Foster + Partners, Wilkinson Eyre, Buro Happold, Land Securities, Mace and Zaha Hadid Architects, to name but a few, plus dozens of smaller, studio- sized consultancies. Within the extraordinary cultural compass of the city, you’ll find galleries and collections that relate directly to the built environment, such as those at the Building Centre, the V&A and the Royal Institute of British Architects. The British Architectural Library at the RIBA is considered one of the best in the world. London’s wealth of resources, partners and history on your doorstep allow you to learn about the built environment in a unique way. London is a constantly evolving showcase and laboratory for ideas in architecture, infrastructure, planning, development, place-making, urbanism and much more. It has been ranked as the top student city in the world for two years in a row (QS Best Student Cities 2018, 2019) based on factors such as the local jobs market, student mix and inclusion, and quality of life. 22 Gordon Street, Bloomsbury Photography: Tim Crocker
