International students

The College welcomes the different perspectives that people from diverse backgrounds and countries can bring. We can assess and accept almost any international qualifications for entry, and we can tell you whether they will allow you to enter the College.
If you are not an EU, EEA or Swiss national, you will probably need a visa. Please ask us for details before applying.
You will need to show that you have good written and spoken English. If your first language is not English, we will need evidence of your English ability. Please ask us for details.

Students with disabilities

We welcome applications from disabled students. The College will make reasonable adjustments to facilitate your access, including advice on and support with travel, physical access, special equipment for study and arrangements for examinations.
We ask you to tell us about your disability on your application form, so that we can discuss your support needs from the outset.
We will also discuss any arrangements that you might require for your interview. When you visit the College for your interview, you will have an opportunity to familiarize yourself with our facilities and services and to discuss your individual needs.
We can provide relevant support if you have specific learning difficulties. These should be indicated on the application form and discussed at interview so that the necessary support can be made available before enrolment.

Faith

We welcome applications from students of all faiths. We do not discriminate. We are committed to treating you as an individual. We do not discriminate on the basis of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.

University of London entrance requirements

To enrol for a University of London degree, you will have to produce evidence that you meet the University of London entrance requirements. In practice the College’s entrance requirements are likely to exceed these requirements in nearly every case so this is not usually an issue.
