Information For Schools

If you are an English teacher in a school or sixth form college, or are involved in outreach or access to university at your institution and would be interested in holding some kind of event with UCL for your students, be it in your school or on the UCL campus, please contact Natasha Clark.

Please note that due to time and budgetary constraints, it is unlikely that we will be able to arrange any school-based events outside London and the South East. In these cases, you may find it best to contact the university's dedicated outreach office.

Further information about the kinds of outreach and access to university work which UCL carry out can be found on the website of the UCL Widening Participation Team.

Student Views

"The main benefit of the programme is definitely the one-to-one tutorial system. Students are allocated a different tutor each year, and although the fortnightly essays may seem a little heavy, the tailored feedback we receive is invaluable. The opportunity to discuss poems, prose, and plays with experts in their field is exciting for both students and their tutors."

"A degree in English also does not mean you are limited to 'typical' careers e.g. journalism, teaching, academia (but it's also great if this is what you want to do!) Studying English at UCL opens many doors for the future and provides you with skills that are applicable in many different areas.

The Department is very forward-thinking, as well as being both helpful and welcoming"
