BSc (single honours)

UCL is the only university offering these single honours degrees. These degrees are delightfully unusual, combining two approaches: 

1. survey of fundamentals across a wide range of subjects
2. intensive study of the specialisms of your choice, combining practical skills development with intellectually exciting discovery

Flexibility and variety

Our degrees balance variety with intensive study. We want you to explore. We also want to prepare you for a variety of carer options, including graduate study, law, finance, policy, communications, and many, many more. Our dedicated careers tutors offer personal guidance, and we have many success stories (link). 

Sometimes students enter one of our degrees but find themselves drawn passionately to the other. No problem. Transfer between the two is easy because the first year paths are identical.

Small department; tremendous energy

At any one time, our department includes 50-60 undergraduates, spread over three years of study. We also have many MSc and PhD students. We are all located in one building on the lovely Gordon Square.

We have 15 core academic staff, whom you will routinely encounter in the department. 

Classes tend to be small, and we pride ourselves on the outstanding quality of our teaching, as well as research. We win awards for the work we do.
