History of Art - UCL

Hello! I'm an international student from Australia very keen to study History of Art in UCL next year (2025).

I was wondering if anyone knows of how competitive the History of Art course is in UCL, and if getting the results marked on the Uni's website will have a high guarantee in receiving an offer.

As I'm an international student, I am not taking the A levels or have past GCSE results, but my current marks to exceed to necessary marks listed required for my country on the website. Transferring my results to A level results, I'm on the cusp of AAB and AAA.

I was wondering if anyone who is attending or have been accepted into the UCL history of Art course could possibly share the stats they have had when applying? I'm nervous that my grades will drop in my actual exams so I just wanted to gain others opinions on the matter. Has anyone with lower grades than the requirement been accepted for this course?

Thank you so much for your response!

Thinking about it, if you apply and get rejected - what have you lost apart from the small application fee on UCAS?

Hi Chloe! I got an offer from UCL in late November I think, and I am an international student as well, so I am not doing A-levels. I hope you got an offer as well if you have applied🙂
