As part of our commitment to work with schools in order to widen access to UCL, we have put together a holistic offering for school events, visits, and talks.
For students in Years 12 and 13, we offer school groups the opportunity to book a UCL Campus Visit. We are also able to visit your school to deliver a range of talks and attend events at your school (based on some geographical restrictions).
Year 12 and 13 School Visits
School Talks
- Introduction to Higher Education
- Choosing Your Course and University
- Your Personal Statement
- Super-Curricular Engagement
- Thinking Like a University Student (Critical Thinking and Metacognition)
- Understanding Student Finance and Money Management
School Events
- HE & Careers Fairs: We can send representatives to HE and Careers Fairs for your Year 12 and Year 13 students.
Parents, Guardians & Carers Evenings
We are passionate about engaging students' guardians in the university application process. We have developed a series of talks that we are able to deliver at post-16 parent and guardian evenings:
- Year 12 session: 'Why go to University?', 'The Application Timeline', 'Introduction to Student Finance', 'What Universities are looking for', and 'Supporting a Young Person's University Application'.

How to book
Please fill out the following form to register your interest in booking a School Visit.
Selection for school visits is dependent on availability, and the priority level of your school. The Access and Widening Participation Office determines the priority level of all state-funded secondary schools in England. This data is obtained from the Higher Education Access Tracker (www.heat.ac.uk) service, and the data consists of combined Department for Education datasets. This allows us to prioritise schools based on their relevant disadvantage and attainment indicators. These indicators include Free School Meals, Index of Multiple Deprivation, and POLAR 4.
Our Schools Engagement prioritises schools in categories Very High and High, which is determined by our Data & Impact team.
Upon completion of the booking form, we will assess your request and priority level, and aim to get back to you within 7 working days. If you are not eligible for one of our visits, we will signpost you to other departments and resources within UCL.
