It was the first university in England to admit students regardless of religion and made higher education affordable and accessible to a much broader section of society. It was also effectively the first university to welcome women on equal terms with men. From the outset UCL showed a commitment to innovative ideas and new methods of teaching and research. This book charts the history of UCL from 1826 through to the present day, highlighting its many contributions to society in Britain and around the world. It covers the expansion of the university through the growth in student numbers and institutional mergers. It documents shifts in governance throughout the years and the changing social and economic context in which UCL operated, including challenging periods of reconstruction after two World Wars. 410 0$aComparative literature and culture. 517 $aComparative Literature and Culture 606 $aHistory of education$2bicssc 610 $aresearch 610 $auniversity 610 $aeducation 610 $aucl 610 $aProfessor 615 7$aHistory of education 676 $a378.42142 700 $aBrewis$b Georgina$4edt$01071151 702 $aNorth$b John$f1938-$4edt 702 $aHarte$b Negley$4edt 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910836799803321 996 $aWorld of UCL$94132404 997 $aUNINA
