Interrupting or withdrawing from your studies

Students take time out from their studies for a wide range of reasons. You might want to take up an internship or placement, take time out to travel, be planning to have children, or be facing personal challenges which are making it hard to study. You might also be considering withdrawing from UCL. Whatever your situation, we are here to support you in making the right decision for you.
