University College London (UCL)
Overview

We have a global reach and global vision. Almost two-thirds of our student body come from outside the UK, attracted from 150 countries around the globe.
The Nahrein Network was set up in order to tackle in tandem two challenges presently facing the Middle East:the systematic local exclusions from participation in the construction of Middle Eastern antiquity and history; and
massive population growth, coupled with endemic instability, poverty and youth unemployment.
Nahrein is the Arabic name for Mesopotamia, the area between the two rivers Tigris and Euphrates, centred on modern-day Iraq and northern Syria. The literate, urban cultures of Sumer, Babylonia and Assyria predate Greece and Rome by some millennia. Together with Egypt, they represent the crucial first half of world history.
