Contextual admissions
Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.
The data presented has been determined by UCAS, if you have queries on the data contact UCAS. UCL is committed to fair admissions and considers applicants who apply by the UCAS equal consideration deadlines. We receive a high volume of applications for limited places, consequently offers are not made to all academically eligible applicants. We run a contextual offer scheme for underrepresented groups, Access UCL. For full details of our entry requirements visit our Undergraduate Prospectus.
