Executive Education FAQs

Answers to your questions about the UCL Laws Executive Education programmes

Application process

There are no formal entry requirements to our executive education courses, however, typically our applicants will have:

a minimum of three years' work experience
a bachelor's degree or higher, or significant work experience in a relevant role(s) to the degree expectation.
a fluency in English (an English language test is not required for this programme, however, the programme is taught entirely in English without translation, and so you should be comfortable communicating in English.)

The deadline for applications is 19 May. We run a rolling admissions process which means once the course is full we close applications. Therefore we suggest you apply as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

If you would like to apply after the deadline, please contact the Executive Education team.

How do I make an application and how is it processed?

Applications are made online by application form and will be processed within 10 working days. If we require further information we will email you.

What is the payment deadline?

If you are paying by credit card, tuition fees should be paid within 14 days of receiving your offer email. If you are paying by invoice, tuition fees should be paid within 30 days of receiving your invoice.Your place on the course is only guaranteed once we have received full payment. After 30 days has passed, your offer of a place will be withdrawn.

Is there accommodation?

There is a wide range of accommodation options - including local hotels and UCL Halls of Residence, which are located in central London, a short walk from Bentham House.

Accommodation is arranged and paid for separately by the individual. If you would like to stay in UCL Halls of Residence, you will be sent a code to use to book at discounted rates once you have paid your tuition fees.
