How to pay your tuition fees

Proficiency in the English Language

Please note, any extra expense incurred in doing so will be your responsibility.

Criminal convictions

You are required to declare whether or not you have any criminal conviction(s). If you answer ‘yes’, you are required to provide further information about the relevant conviction(s).

Your offer of admission is conditional upon you not having a criminal conviction that UCL deems makes it unsuitable for you to be admitted to your proposed course of study.

In the case of those who apply to UCL via our on-line application, information on criminal convictions is collected at the application stage and no further information is required when responding to our offer of admission unless you received a criminal conviction between applying and receiving the offer.

You are required to inform UCL of any criminal conviction(s) between application and enrolment.

UCL reserves the right not to admit a student convicted of a serious criminal offence between offer of admission and enrolment.
