Eligibility

Places on Visit UCL are limited. Because this event is an Access and Widening Participation initiative, we will prioritise schools who have a high number of students who meet our widening participation criteria. We encourage schools to select students who they feel may benefit the most from the visit, by considering factors such as Free School Meal or Pupil Premium eligibility and potential to attend university.
