How to complete the (paper) form

1. In Section 10, tick the box for Graduate (Taught).

2. State your preferred admitting department in section 12. 

3. You may only apply to departments that are included in the exchange agreement through which you are applying.

4. All students whose first language is not English must be sufficiently competent to ensure that their academic progress and ability to integrate socially while studying and living at UCL is not hindered by language difficulties. As a guide the minimum requirement for students undertaking full degree programmes at UCL is (IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL 237 plus 4 in the essay rating).

5. Applications should if possible be received by:

31 March for students applying to start in September
30 September for students applying to start in January

Please note: UCL will consider applications after the above dates, although there is a risk of popular departments being full.

What Happens After You Have Applied

UCL will inform you of its decision as soon as possible after receiving your application. If you are accepted you will be sent an offer letter, a reply slip and an application form for UCL housing. You must reply to the offer within four weeks of receiving it. You will also be sent an application form for accommodation, pre-arrival information and details of the Orientation Programme. The housing application form should be returned at the same time as the reply slip, and NOT LATER than 30th June of the year of entry to guarantee a place in September. (Please see housing information as conditions apply).

Pre-arrival information, and details of the events taking place during Orientation, can be found on the UCL website from July. Details of housing will be despatched in August for full-year and Fall-term students, and in early December for Spring entry students.
