Can anyone advise whether UCL Undergraduate Psych students have access to the IOE and its facilities? On Open day we just saw a reception and a lecture theatre in Bedford Way, no other facilities. Just wondered where Psychology students hang out in between lectures? The course sounds amazing but as a commuter where do you go for Uni social life? Thankyou

There are a few YouTube videos about Psych students e.g. first term in UCL, first year in UCL etc. In one of the videos I watched, someone posted this question in the comments and it says UCL students have access into all buildings and the libraries with their student card. Not sure what other facilities are there that you are referring to, but they also have the Institute Bar and Pizza Kitchen, both run by the student union. I know this building is at 20 Bedford Way and Psychology is at 26 Bedford Way (already pinned in my Google Maps).

I am also excited to find out where Psych students hang out too! When I visited UCL last summer, a postgrad student ambassador said a lot of students go to the nearby Gordon Square (gardens) to decompress.

Mustn't confuse with decisions from other faculties and/or courses. I don't think there have been many offers for Psych.


Less than 24 hours after my post (2 days ago), I received my UCL offer for MSci Psychology. Very happy! Wishing everyone the best of luck and I hope you receive your offers soon!

Congratulations! Both are really good offers, may I know if you applied for the Bsc or MSci course for ucl?

HELLO! It's been awhile since I have seen you post! Have you received all your UCAS decisions yet?

Somewhat but since allocation is random, I am not sure it really matters so I won't want to get too attached to any accommodation in particular. :smile:

Hi Bubbles!! It’s definitely been awhile, and I’ve just received my final decision from UCL, Msci Psych offer at 5pm (gmt)! Rejected from Oxford unfortunately so I’m struggling between bath and ucl on where to firm!

Congrats to u too! Just if anyone is waiting for decisions at UCL (psych specific), I was really nervous as I saw offers for my course coming and I kept on refreshing the portico, still saying “application received”. Last time I checked, at around 1pm, was still “application received” and to hour ago changed to “currently being processed…”. Still no ucas track update notification, so my impatient self just decided to go have a look at UCAS track. And there it is, all decisions received, turns out my ucl offer was out like 5 hours ago! Hahaha.

Yeah, it does look like Portico updates and UCAS updates are not synched for same time release, and possibly like what my dad said, some machine batch processing. My UCAS track update email and UCL offer email came in about 5 hours after I had seen my offer on UCAS!

You and I are on very similar paths! UCL was my final decision too! Similar to you, I was rejected by Cambridge. I also struggled choosing between Bath and UCL. I have since firmed UCL for MSci Psych! Please let me know what you decide!

Hello, I just wanted to know if anyone got psychology BSc offers from UCL yet. They sent an email a few weeks back to apologise for taking time but still haven’t gotten back. Thanks :smile:

Hi Bubbles, I’ve decided to firm UCL msci psych, are you firming too? If yes, it’ll be great to see you in Sept! Also, is there a UCL psychology offer holder day? I’m just afraid that I might’ve missed it.
Btw, I’d like to seek for your advice on accoms, according to my understanding, you can only apply to either one of ucl halls or intercollegiate halls, and you can indicate preference for the latter. Which would you prefer? Thanks a lot! I see that you’ve been very active and super helpful in the threads!

Yes, I have firmed UCL MSci Psych! Hope to see you in Sep! We must work hard to make sure our final grades > conditional offer! I too didn't receive anything re Psych offer holders day. I am assuming there isn't one and even if there is one, I won't be attending even if it's virtual. I had checked out UCL last summer.

Yeah, you just answer the list of questions/preferences in the UCL accommodation portal. Keep fingers crossed and wait for Aug allocation. I would of course prefer to be within walking distance to Bedford Way where the Psych building is. But allocation is random and we could be allocated anywhere.

I come here when I am taking breaks to see what the current discussions are!
