Congratulations on your offer to study at UCL!
We’re looking forward to welcoming you to our vibrant Medical Sciences community. This page is designed to give you a glimpse of life as a UCL student, featuring student stories, insights into our cutting-edge research, accommodation guidance, funding and more.
Where You’ll Study
You will learn in modern labs, specialist research environments, and clinical teaching spaces across our London campuses. These facilities are designed to help you gain real practical skills and work directly with leading experts in science and medicine.
The UCL Doctor
At UCL, the journey to becoming a doctor is about more than just earning a degree. Our integrated six-year programme combines medical science, early patient contact, and research-focused training to prepare you for the challenges of modern healthcare. UCL Doctors graduate as clinicians, researchers, and innovators, equipped with the skills and confidence to deliver exceptional, patient-centred care and lead the way in medicine.
UCL guarantees an offer of accommodation to all full-time, first-year undergraduate students who are studying at UCL for the first time. The guarantee applies to individual applicants only (not as part of a couple or family) who apply before the deadline and meet the eligibility criteria:
- are a first year, full time student
- apply for a single room (we have very limited couples and family accommodation)
- have not previously lived or studied at a Higher Education Institution in Greater London (inside the M25 Motorway)
- list UCL as their firm choice by 10 June in their year of study
- submit their UCL Accommodation application (separate to application to study) by 10 June in their year of study
If you’re joining UCL from overseas, we’re here to make the visa process as smooth as possible.
Our guidance covers everything you need to know from applying for your Student visa and getting your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) to understanding your digital immigration status.
You’ll also find advice on working in the UK, the Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS), medical electives, and the Graduate Route visa after you finish your studies.
Our team of experienced careers professionals is dedicated to helping you find the right path and achieve success in your future career. We work closely with employers and keep up-to-date with labour market trends so we can provide the best advice, whatever your starting point or ambition.
We’re here not only to support you in finding graduate jobs or further study opportunities but also to help you make the most of your time at UCL. From developing employability skills to securing internships and work experience, we offer events, workshops, and one-to-one guidance tailored to your goals.
Through myUCLCareers, you’ll have access to thousands of UK and international vacancies, personalised dashboards, and alerts for roles that match your interests. You can search and apply online, explore opportunities managed by UCL Careers or directly by employers, and set preferences for the sectors you care about.
Your wellbeing is just as important as your academic success. At UCL, Student Support and Wellbeing (SSW) is here to help you make the most of your time with us while maintaining a healthy, balanced life.
Our dedicated team offers a wide range of services, so you can choose the support that works best for you. Whether you prefer in-person appointments, phone calls, or video sessions, accessing help is quick and easy through askUCL. Our advisers and counsellors are here to listen, understand your needs, and work with you to find solutions, always following up to ensure you feel supported.
We also provide the Transition Mentor Programme, giving every first-year undergraduate a peer mentor from your degree programme. Your mentor will help you settle in, share their own experiences, and offer friendly advice on academic topics, student life, and UCL’s support services. Weekly mentoring sessions and ongoing guidance ensure you feel part of our community from day one.
