Preparation for university at university.
All UCL Language Centre preparatory course lectures, seminars, tutorials (and practical laboratory sessions) are delivered within the university. Students are registered as UCL students and have access to all UCL, University of London and Language Centre academic, welfare, and social and cultural resources.
Preparation for Graduates
Pre-sessional English Courses begin in April*, June, July and August and provide an intensive preparation for students holding a conditional offer of a place at UCL.

Our year-long Diploma in English for Academic Purposes begins in September and January each year and gives Masters students an opportunity to prepare their academic skills and make graduate applications over a longer period of time. This course is very popular and has a strong record of helping students progress to Masters programmes throughout the UCL.
Preparation for Undergraduates
The University Preparatory Certificate for Science and Engineering (UPCSE) is a full-time foundation course in science and engineering for international students who are aiming to gain access to undergraduate degree programmes at UCL and other top UK universities. This course has an excellent record of progression to UCL degree programmes.
