Ask a Current UCL Student: The Official Thread

Any law students here? What's it like - teaching, content, facilities, etc?

Also, for accommodation - I only got the offer holders booklet with my offer letter and it has two sides of A4 dedicated to accommodation. UCL's website isn't very helpful either, so price and location aside, I can't really find anyway of discriminating between them - there don't seem to be any pictures of rooms/facilities at each place. :/ Am I wrong and missing something?

I recently withdrew from my firm offer for Mechanical Engineering at Bristol, having decided that although it's a great course, I just don't know whether I will enjoy it/be able to cope, and was considering Electrical/Electronic Engineering with Computer Science instead. Unfortunately, Bristol weren't accepting anymore people on their EEE course when I asked, so I looked through UCAS Extra, and to my surprise, UCL were! So I applied to UCL for this course as a gamble and got an offer this afternoon!

I was wondering if there are any EEE students at UCL on this thread? How are you finding the difficulty of the course? UCL is 5th in the UK for EEE, above Bristol, which seems quite strong. Are people enjoying it? Is the course delivered enthusiastically? I loved Bristol so much and was looking forward to it for so many reasons but at the back of my mind, I was always having doubts about MechEng so I think I've made the right decision.

any UCL med students?

Hello guys,
I got conditional admission at ucl for mechanical engineering and business finance. I got an offer for A A A. My predicted grades were A A A B but I think I will get A B B B. So should I be hope full for an admission or not? A in Mathematics B in physics and chem

That's quite a lot less than the offer, I wouldn't be too hopeful if you get those grades/

Is it worth taking another gap year (this would be my 2nd Gap year) for UCL Economics and LSE Management ? I would obviously have to reapply through UCAS but I do have an offer for Management at UCL and I'm thinking now that Economics might be a better course for me.

Go for it. I took a 2nd gap year.

Hi, I just finished my first gap year and I still don't think that I've chosen the perfect course yet. I took Economics, Chemistry and Mathematics and I achieved "BCC" respectively in my first sitting. This year was my first gap year and I think I'm going to achieve A*AB-AAB which is not a bad improvement but I've always wanted to go to UCL Economics or do a course at LSE. I feel that one more year would do it but there is no guarantee that I would get onto these courses especially since I'm applying as a 2nd gap year student as well as these courses being extremely competitive. I emailed UCL Economics and they said that they accept students on a 2nd Gap year but you will be at a disadvantage. In order to overcome this, I was thinking that if I took AS Level Further Mathematics this would make my application more competitive and UCL's normal Economics entry requirement is A*AA. But if I were predicted A*A*A alongside with an A grade in AS-Level Further mathematics this could be enough to make me worthy of applying to UCL Econ and LSE Management course. Please do give any ideas you have, I would extremely appreciate it ! Posted from TSR Mobile

My offer is AAB for BA History, but if I get ABB or ABC would I still get in?
