 University College London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
UCL was founded in 1826 under the name "University of London" as an alternative to the strictly religious universities of Oxford and Cambridge.
It has also been claimed that, since the charter of King's College London (granted in 1829 in a reaction by the Church to the foundation of UCL) predates that of UCL by five years, UCL should not even be regarded as the oldest college in the University of London.
UCL's newest buildings include the London Centre for Nanotechnology on Gordon Street, aimed for completion in 2006 and a new building for the School of Slavonic and East European Studies (currently at Senate House) which was opened (by Princess Anne and the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus) in October 2005 on Taviton Street.

 Key Skills at University College London
University College London (UCL) was involved in the Enterprise in Higher Education (EHE) initiative funded by the former Department of Employment from 1991 to 1996.
It had been observed that key skills are referred to less often in College's 'public' literature than in the 'private' transactions of departments: the purpose of this project was to review this apparent disparity in order to contribute to College's strategic planning in respect of key skills.
The statement in the College Prospectus that "Personal development is fundamental to university life and the generic skills needed in the personal and professional life of all UCL graduates - leadership, teamwork, self-reliance, communication and project management skills, etc. - are woven into academic programmes at UCL" is a clear indication of institutional aims.
