University College London, UCL

University College London, known as UCL, was established as an alternative to the prestige selectivity of Cambridge and Oxford, and is regarded as the third oldest university in the UK. However, it lacks little of what Cambridge and Oxford have to offer in all colleges as well as the School of Medicine. The school takes about 330 undergraduate medical students each year divided into a wide range of divisions. The school has also produced Nobel scholars and award winning scientists in the medical sciences.
