I am a former UCL student; do I need to provide references and/or transcripts?
If you completed your Bachelor's degree with UCL, you are required to submit your transcript with your application, unless applying to the same department where you undertook your undergraduate studies. The same applies for references if the referees are employed by UCL in the department to which you are applying. Please note the following exceptions:
- All LLM applicants must submit a transcript regardless of where it was obtained.
- All applicants to the Department of Economics are required to submit references regardless of where they have previously studied.
