***Applicants for the January start with one or two subscores of no less than 5.5 may be considered if they have 6.0 overall and a particularly strong academic record.

Minimum academic requirements

Your academic transcript from your undergraduate degree must show a final score or GPA which UCL considers equivalent to at least a lower second-class (2:2) degree from a UK university. 

To find out if UCL considers your undergraduate score or GPA to be equivalent to at least a 2:2, please check your country's entry requirements on the UCL international students website

Alternatively if you have a conditional offer of a place on a Master’s programme at UCL or an equivalent UK university, this will satisfy the academic requirements for a place on the International Pre-Master’s Course.
