UK-based candidates with strong UCAS applications will then be shortlisted for interview with two members of staff in UCL English. After the interview, applicants will be asked to write a short, forty-minute essay on a piece of unseen (English) poetry or prose. Candidates based outside the UK will not be interviewed, but may be asked to complete a written exercise and return it by email instead.
