Overseas students who wish to study at UCL

UCL has for more than 40 years welcomed students from colleges and universities overseas. This page is for students who are already studying at a university or institution overseas who wish to come and study at UCL as part of their undergraduate or graduate degree from their own 'home' universities.

UCL currently admits over 800 'affiliate' students each year. An affiliate student is one who will follow a similar programme of study/research to UK students but will not receive a degree qualification from UCL. Affiliate students will remain registered as students of their home university and will usually return there to complete their studies.

Undergraduate

Undergraduate Affiliates / Junior Year Abroad Students
For students who wish to come and study independently at UCL (i.e. not under an exchange agreement) for up to one year, or those students who wish to study at UCL for their Junior Year Abroad.

Undergraduate Erasmus Students
For students who wish to apply to study at UCL under the Erasmus Programme (EU only).

Undergraduate Exchange Students
For students who wish to apply to study at UCL under an exchange agreement that UCL has with their home university/institution.

Graduate

Graduate Affiliate Students

Visiting Research Students
