Congratulations on receiving a place on UCL's foundation course – the Undergraduate Preparatory Certificates (UPC)!

We're delighted you've accepted your place on the UPC and will join us for the 2023-24 academic year. We can't wait to see you on campus!

You have been selected from over 1,000 applications from 79 countries after a rigorous process of testing and interviewing.

We are confident that the course will be both intellectually stimulating and academically rewarding for you, and that it will constitute excellent preparation for your undergraduate degree at a top UK university.
