💜🎂 Happy 200th birthday @ucl.ac.uk!
In 1826, UCL was founded as London’s very first university with a progressive vision: higher education for all, regardless of religion or social background.
Today we mark our Bicentenary and the beginning of a year of celebration! #UCL200
💜 Today, @ucl.ac.uk marks 200 years since its foundation.
Throughout 2026, we will celebrate two centuries of learning and innovation and share those achievements with our global community.

‘Although I am no longer in a position to carry out much work myself, my legacy is still very much alive and well. UCL's Faculty of Laws is home to the Bentham Project … in existence since 1959, with the aim of publishing a definitive scholarly edition of my writings and correspondence.’
Are conspiracy theorists right when they imagine the world being run by secretive exchanges between global elites?
Are citizens incapable of overthrowing this cabal?
