FAQs

  • Most programmes require you to provide the details of referees who can be contacted to provide references. The section “Application and next steps” of your programme’s prospectus page will confirm how many references are required.
  • You are not required to provide a CV with your application. However, it can often be a good way to summarise your education and work experience.
  • Applications are considered on a rolling basis and therefore may close earlier than the advertised deadline. We recommend that you submit your application as soon as possible. A programme will be closed as soon as it is full or by the general deadline for applications.
  • You may submit applications for a maximum of two taught graduate programmes for entry to the 2025/26 academic year. The applications must be for different programmes. Please note that if an application fee is charged, it will be charged per application. Specific advice about applying to some departments is outlined below: If you considering applying to the LLM within the Faculty of Laws, you should apply for either the general LLM or one LLM specialism route. You are not permitted to apply for both. If you want to study an LLM with a specialism, you should apply to the relevant LLM specialism route. If you are unsure at this stage, whether you want to specialise or would like to study a general LLM, then you should apply to the general LLM route. UCL does not accept multiple applications for the same programme in the same academic year.
