UCL campus



I may not understand the University of London system completely, but do the UofL and UCL share a campus in Bloomsbury? I know UCL, ICL and KCL were former constituent colleges of UofL, but the latter two seem to have their own campuses on the map.
Nope, UCL has its own central campus and a number of satellite sites in the surrounding area. It's right next to the Senate House though (the UoL headquarters)

All the constituent colleges of UoL have their own separate sites. KCL and UCL are still part of the university. ICL left a few years ago.

The University of London is an umbrella organisation of which most of the London universities are members. UCL - as well as LSE, SOAS, some Birkbeck schools and several other smaller and specialist institutions - are all located in London's university quarter, where the University of London's HQ and student facilities are. However, not all members are located immediately next to each other: QMUL is out in East London, KCL is a few miles to the south off the Strand and even Royal Holloway is a UoL member despite being out in rural Surrey.

For almost practical purposes the universities act independently though you might get an option to have a 'London' or e.g. 'UCL' degree (we have been given this choice at QMUL - it makes no real difference expect the writing on the certificate...), get access to common facilities (particularly Senate House Library) and are theoretically able to take modules from another college (though I know very few who do this and it is not advertised). A small number of postgraduate courses might be run jointly by two or more UoL universities.

Thanks! This makes sense!
