Data Protection

How UCL uses student information

UCL uses student information for a range of purposes, including the provision of teaching and learning, managing accommodation and ensuring health and safety. Information about students will only be shared within UCL when necessary or appropriate. UCL may be required by law to share student information with some external agencies for a variety of purposes, such as the Higher Education Statistics Agency and the Office for Students. After students leave UCL, certain information is retained in accordance with UCL's Data Retention Schedule. You can see how UCL uses student information in the UCL privacy notice.
