Learn more about the academic and English language requirements you need to study the International Pre-Master’s at UCL.
To be considered for the IPM, you will need to meet both our:
- Academic entry requirements
- English language entry requirements
Academic entry requirements
You must normally show that you have a strong academic background by demonstrating a minimum of a lower second-class degree (2:2) or an overseas equivalent.
Check whether your overseas qualification meets our general entry requirements.
If your academic qualifications are of a slightly lower standard, we will still consider your application because we carefully consider each application on an individual basis, taking into account all the information presented in your application (including the supporting documents).
Entry requirement of your future degree
If your ambition is to study a Master's degree at UCL, you should check whether your first degree meets the academic requirements of the Master’s degree you want to apply for.
Find the specific academic requirements for your chosen programme in UCL’s degree finder.

You must show that your English is sufficient for the course.
We accept the following English language qualifications at the levels specified.
Your English language qualification must not be more than two years old from the IPM start date for us to consider your application.
