The Admissions Office is responsible for all admissions to UCL’s undergraduate and graduate degrees, affiliate and Teacher Training programmes. It handles approximately 160,000 applications per cycle and is responsible for admitting approximately 20,000 students in each academic year. The Admissions function is critical in ensuring that UCL secures the desired number of students to meet UCL’s aspirations in terms of securing and maintaining a well-qualified, balanced student body and associated tuition fee income, currently in excess of £300 million per annum.

UCL is embarking on a transformation programme for Admissions to ensure that its future admissions operation, policy and processes are fit for purpose and can cope with the increasing demands placed upon it.
