Undergraduates and taught postgraduates

Taught postgraduates and undergraduates from fellow University of London Institutions are eligible to apply for reference access without charge.

Postgraduate students are eligible to apply for reference access without charge. Please contact the Library Membership Team (lib-membership@ucl.ac.uk) for further application details.
