Support with applications
All students receive personalised support with their university applications from the UPC’s dedicated Education Advisor, Rob Doswell.
Rob said: "As in previous application cycles, we have seen very good outcomes from UCL this year, with students holding degree offers in a broad range of subject areas.
The UCAS support we offer students from the beginning of the course and throughout the year ensures they submit strong and competitive applications and complete the UCAS cycle successfully.
The UCAS process can be challenging to navigate, particularly for international students. The individual guidance they receive helps them to choose the degrees best suited to them, but also practical advice like completing the application form correctly and how to develop a well-written personal statement.”
On average, 80% of UPC student progress to UCL or another top university, with around 50% staying on at UCL.
