Overview
Every year, UCL welcomes students from universities around the world to study for 3 or 6 weeks in July and August.
Details
With a wide range of undergraduate credit-bearing modules on offer from many of our renowned academic departments, you can choose the subject best suited to your academic or personal interests. Modules are taught on the Bloomsbury campus, and many make use of London as a learning environment with excursions and fields trips in and around the city.
UCL offers accommodation in the heart of London and the Summer School also offers a programme of social and cultural events to help you make the most of your time in the capital.
UCL is consistently ranked among the world's top universities (ranked #8 in the world overall, QS 2022) and the UCL Summer School offers students a unique opportunity to experience life as a UCL student. 98% of students in 2019 said they would recommend our programme to a friend.
Programme structure
The UCL Summer School is divided into two Sessions, each spanning three weeks. You can choose to attend Session One, Session Two or both. All students study one module per Session.
Choosing your module(s)
The majority of our modules are at level 1, which is the equivalent to first year undergraduate. Most of these modules require no prior subject knowledge, although some do prefer a background in certain areas. In addition to these, some of our modules are at level 2 or level 3 meaning prior subject knowledge is required.
Level one modules
The majority of modules are at level one, which is the equivalent to first year undergraduate.
Most of these modules do not require any prior subject knowledge and only the standard Summer School entry requirements apply.
The aim of each level one module is to provide an introduction to subject areas you may not have studied before. Many take an interdisciplinary approach and will help you view a subject from a fresh perspective, either on a global scale, or through the unique lens of London.
Level two and three modules
Some modules are at level two or three, meaning some prior subject knowledge is required in addition to the standard entry requirements. Where this is the case, details of prerequisites are provided on individual module pages.
Level two and level three modules aim to take prior learning in a subject area to the next level.
Dates
- Session One: 24 June - 12 July 2024
- Session Two: 15 July – 2 August 2024
