University College London (UCL) is a leading multidisciplinary research university in central London, consistently ranked among the top 10 universities inthe world. UCL is known for a large range of academic options and innovation across arts, sciences, engineering, health, and social sciences, and offers more than 400 undergraduate programmes.

UCL receives over 38,000 undergraduate applications annually and admits roughly 35% of applicants overall, though acceptance rates vary significantly by programme. Highly competitive courses such as Law, Medicine, Economics, and Psychology often have lower acceptance rates, especially for international students.

Applications must be submitted through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) by 15 January for most courses, though Medicine and Oxford/Cambridge concurrent applicants must apply by 15 October. New Zealand students typically need NCEA Level 3 with Excellence endorsement, particularly in relevant subjects. Cambridge A Levels are also accepted. Some courses require additional assessments, such as the LNAT (for Law) or interviews (for Medicine or Architecture).

Tuition fees for international students range from $52,000 to $97,000 NZD, depending on the degree. UCL offers a few merit-based scholarships and regional awards but financial aid is limited for international undergraduates and should not be relied upon to fully fund your study.
