Visiting Research and Graduate Affiliate study Students registered for graduate programmes overseas may, subject to any restrictions placed on them by their ‘home’ university, study at UCL for a period between three and twelve months and transfer credit earned to the home institution to count towards the award of their degree. It is possible to study on this basis as a research student (Visiting Research Student) or graduate taught student (Graduate Affiliate Student). To do so you will be required to meet the usual academic and English language requirements for the programme on which you intend to study. More information about Visiting Research and Graduate Affiliate study can be found at www.ucl.ac.uk/affiliate

International qualifications
UCL considers a wide range of international qualifications for entry to its degree programmes. Please refer to the online UCL Graduate Prospectus for details of qualification equivalencies (www.ucl.ac.uk/graduate; entry requirements information is on the individual degree pages).
English language proficiency requirements
If your first language is not English you will be required to provide recent evidence that your command of English is adequate. This may take the form of substantial education (usually at least 12 months) or work experience (usually at least 18 months), conducted in English in a majority English-speaking country, no more than two years prior to the proposed date of enrolment. Alternatively, applicants may provide an English language qualification recognised by UCL, passed with appropriate grades and awarded not more than two years prior to the proposed date of enrolment. If you are a visa national, your qualification must have been taken within two years of receiving a Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) from UCL. More details about English language proficiency requirements can be found at www.ucl.ac.uk/graduate/apply

International Graduate preparation courses The UCL Centre for Languages & International Education (CLIE) offers a range of graduate preparation courses to take your language and academic skills to the next level, and help you to build and communicate your academic knowledge confidently and successfully. Our courses, taught on campus in Bloomsbury, are for international students wishing to prepare their Academic English, academic study skills and subject knowledge for graduate study at UCL. We offer a one-year International Pre-Master’s as well as shorter, more intensive pre-sessional courses that meet UCL’s English language requirements for graduate study. See www.ucl.ac.uk/gpc for further details.
For some taught programmes, applicants whose qualifications are of a lower standard may be admitted if they can demonstrate an appropriate academic background and experience in the relevant field. Applicants may be required to pass a qualifying examination, or pass a qualifying year of a Graduate Diploma, before being registered in to the corresponding Master’s programme.
