England: University College London - Academics

Students gathered on UCL’s Portico.

Prerequisites

• Must have completed sophomore year of college prior to attending program.
• A minimum GPA of 3.3 is required (some departments expect at least a GPA of 3.5 and a good background in a relevant subject)

Courses

AU students directly enroll in UCL for either a semester or for a full year and earn AU credit. Because you are directly enrolling in UCL, an extensive course catalog is available to you. UCL has one of the widest ranges of degree programs in Britain. Subjects of study include Anthropology, Art, Film Studies, Biology, History and Physics, just to name a few. AU students are integrated into life at UCL, taking classes together with British and other overseas students. When students apply for admission to study at UCL, they normally apply to one academic department where they will take at least half of their courses. Study abroad students are sometimes admitted to two departments on a joint basis. Students admitted to a single department are also sometimes allowed to take one or two courses in another department. For more on what courses are available at UCL, see here.

Internships

Students may independently arrange their own internships based upon personal contacts. Students must obtain prior approval from their academic advisor to receive major credit for their internship abroad.
