IOE academics designed a creative workshop for disabled young people to illuminate what employment means when viewed through the lens of disability.

The session highlighted how creative practice opens space for dialogue, underscoring the value of inclusive research and practice.

This year, #EducationDay centres the power of youth in co-creating education.

As we celebrate #UCL200, we reflect on our rich history of student life. The Generation UCL project – led by Georgina Brewis and Sam Blaxland – celebrates our student community, past and present.

Spot the odd one out. Here are some things we have found in the library and one we haven't. If you think you've lost something, ask at the Help Desk. Anything not claimed will be sent to the Lost Property on the main campus. Search for UCL Lost Property to find out how to report anything you lose.
