About us
The Chair of Political Economy at UCL was created in 1827 in memory of David Ricardo, thus establishing the first Department of Economics in England. The department has an outstanding international reputation in key areas of current research. It is the only department of economics in the UK to have received the outstanding grade-point average of 3.78 (out of 4) in the 2014 REF with 79% of all indicators of output rated at the highest 4* level. The Department of Economics at UCL is a medium-sized department by UK standards with a regular academic staff of 50, supplemented with full-time research staff and part-time teaching fellows. There are currently over 1000 undergraduates and more than 150 graduate students studying in the department. Further information about the Department of Economics is available from the department’s website at UCL Economics.
