Acceptability of A level Qualifications

UK GCE A levels

If you wish to be considered for admission to UCL, you are required to meet the specific entry requirements of the programme of study that you wish to apply for, details of which are available in the Undergraduate Prospectus.

In addition to any specified programme requirements, you should also ensure that you are taking at least two A levels from the list below.

Unless specified in the programme requirements, with the exceptions of Critical Thinking and General Studies, your third counting A level and your fourth AS level can be in any subject and need not be on the list.

Please be aware that A level Critical Thinking and A level General Studies do not meet UCL's A level entry requirements. An A level in either of these subjects can only count as meeting UCL's requirement for a fourth AS level subject. AS level Critical Thinking and General Studies do not meet any UCL entry requirement and are not acceptable for admission.

If you are unable to offer a minimum of two A level subjects from the list, this does not prevent you from applying to UCL. It will be at the discretion of the admissions selector to determine whether your application is sufficiently strong to warrant further consideration.

If you are studying a foreign language A level and you wish this subject to be considered, the A level should be in a language that is foreign to you and should not be in your first language. You should indicate in your personal statement that the foreign language A level you are studying is not your first language.
