About us

------------


UCL was established in February 1826 - the first University to be located in London and the first in England to admit students of all backgrounds and faiths. UCL's history is one of world-leading pioneering research, education, discovery, and societal benefit, built on foundational values of inclusion and excellence in all endeavours.



UCL's Bicentenary in 2026 is a once in 200 years opportunity to enhance UCL's reputation and standing as a global university by celebrating what has been achieved and demonstrating UCL's preparedness for the next century.



The UCL 200 Team is a small but highly committed team responsible for overseeing the programme to mark UCL's 200th anniversary in 2026.

About the role

As Project Officer for UCL200, you will play a key role in supporting the Programme Director and Project Manager in the successful delivery of projects aligned with the university's bicentennial celebrations. You will be responsible for providing day-to-day operational and administrative support across a range of initiatives, ensuring that project milestones are met on time and within scope. This role requires effective coordination with internal stakeholders across UCL, as well as external partners, to facilitate smooth communication, track progress, and contribute to the overall success of the programme.



This will be a unique, fast paced and highly engaging role working across the entirety of UCL. It provides the opportunity to play a vital role on a challenging, but exceptionally rewarding project.
