INFORMATION FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS

Your application

As well as A levels and the International Baccalaureate, we accept a wide range of international qualifications.

If the qualifications you gain in your home country do not meet our entry requirements, you may meet our entry qualifications by successful completion of a foundation year.

English language

If your education has not been conducted in the English language you will be expected to demonstrate evidence of an adequate level of English proficiency.

Getting settled in successfully

Our International Students’ Orientation Programme, held immediately before the academic year begins in September, is designed to help you settle in, learn how to access the range of services and opportunities on offer and adjust to the process of teaching and learning at UCL.

All non-UK students are invited to attend the programme, which is free of charge. In addition, social events in the programme allow you to make new friends.

While a student, you will have access to all the academic and welfare support services at UCL. In addition, our on-site Student Centre can help you with issues like opening a UK bank account and visa renewal. Our friendly staff will be happy to answer your questions or direct you to someone who can.

The UCL Careers Service offers dedicated assistance for international students, whether seeking employment in their home country or considering working in the UK.

We support you every step of the way

If your application to UCL is successful, our Student Centre will provide information before and after your arrival, from visas and entry clearance to practical advice to help you prepare for your time in the UK.

In addition the Student Centre provides online pre-arrival information for students before they travel to London.

First-year accommodation is guaranteed and further information can be found on our Student Accommodation website.
