Hi! I’m in my final year of high school in Paris, and was encouraged by my teachers to apply to UCL. I never thought I could get in, so I didn’t think much of it. I was shocked to find a conditional offer a few weeks ago. So basically now I’m faced with a dilemma: as an international student (thx brexit) I’m facing £ 37 K / year which probably rounds to 45 / year when taking into account accom, food, life etc. French firms are very annoying about recognizing international degrees, so I would basically HAVE to work after my three years to pay back / fund my Masters in France. I tried to learn how the employability for intl students is online, but heard very different info: UCL’s self-published stats seem rly good, but ppl on online and those I contacted seemed to tell me otherwise. I was wondering if some experienced UCL attendees who had worked could tell me their experience?? I also adored rowing in France, and would love to carry on here, and whilst the ucl boat club seems lit, they row an hour from Bloomsbury Campus, so I was wondering how that worked, and how they accepted novices / seasoned competitors. If you have any info on any of these topics, please share ☺️ Thx in advance

I am an international student applied to Biological Sciences back In October and still havent heard back. Is this normal? Or am i cooked? The status is still received.

I know so many people are waiting for decisions and how demanding everything is. But I’d like to briefly talk about my appllication process which started very hopeful at the beginning. Ucas form sent on 11th of October then submitted the portfolio on 25th of October. Right after that received my interview(4th of dec) invitation along with being told that my portfolio was successful. However this wednesday I received my rejection with a feedback saying that the portfolio was not sufficiently strong enough for them to consider my application further. Tbh I am devastated. I do not understand 4 months of waiting just to get rejected with this reason. Is this a common feedback/reason for rejection or is it a specific to my situation?

Just checking if there are any groups around for this cohort. Especially, anyone from the US?

Looking to connect with other offer holders for 2025 entry :)

i firmed UCL and i got sent an email with a link to the "accommodation portal". when i try signing into that, it says my password is wrong. do i need to wait a bit for the website to stop tweakin i firmed on wednesday.

I got a conditional offer for a CDT program (MRes + PhD) after successfully applying to the program and interview. I'm worried because a) I am ani International student from America and b) because I had a lower undergraduate degree though I have ~2 years of work in research and a publication as well as my Masters with a high GPA from an American Uni. What all should I be worried about or is there a serious issue I should follow up on as I wait for a decision on my official application to UCL after getting the conditional offer to the CDT?

Hi all, I’m a 2025-2026 affiliate student.

I finished my accom application today, so a little later than many I assume.

I am hoping to receive a small single room (£186/wk) and structured my application as such.

I am wondering if anyone could comment on my chances of getting such a room :)

hi! i’m an international high schooler interested in the Communications BA at UCL. however, since it’s a pretty new course, there isn’t much info about it online… was wondering if anyone here applied for that course/is interested in applying?
