From meeting your conditions, to accepting your offer and choosing your modules, you can find lots of information to help you prepare for life at UCL Laws in this section for LLM offer-holders
Accepting or declining your offer
- Accepting your offer: conditional and unconditional offer holders
In order to secure your place on the LLM programme for the next academic year, you must accept your offer via the online application system, Portico.
Accepting an offer ensures that you receive important programme information before the start of your programme in September.
- Declining your offer: conditional and unconditional offer holders
If you wish to decline your offer, you must do so via Portico.
Meeting your conditions
If you have been made a conditional offer, we wish you well in meeting our entry requirements.
You will need to ensure that you have met the conditions set out for you and provide the UCL Central Admissions Office with relevant documentation prior to the start of the programme and in good time to ensure that other arrangements can be made where applicable, including visa applications and accommodation.
You should upload evidence that you have met the conditions of your offer to the UCL application system, Portico.
Once UCL has received the relevant documentation confirming that you have met the conditions set out for you, your offer will become unconditional.
UCL will only permit students in possession of an unconditional offer to enrol on a programme of study.
- English language requirements
You can find details of the English language requirements for the LLM programme at UCL in our Entry Requirements section.
If you are planning on taking the Pre-Sessional English Course at UCL, you will need to apply as early as possible as these courses are very popular and fill up quickly.
Apply online on the UCL Centre for Languages and International Education website
International Offer holders
If you require a Student Visa to attend the LLM programme at UCL, the Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) number will be issued to unconditional offer holders via the online application system (Portico).
The UCL Central Admissions Office will contact unconditional offer holders who require a visa directly by email with details of the process during June at the earliest.
It is important to note that the UK Visas and Immigration office (UKVI) will not issue CAS numbers until three months prior to the start of your programme of study.
The UCL International Student Support website provides lots of information that can help you prepare for coming to study in the UK, including:
Enrolment and Induction
