很喜欢UCL自夸的一句话，送给大家
Learn how to think – not what to think
Develop a ‘global’ way of thinking
UCL and London share a great strength – the diversity of people, activity and ideas. We attract staff and students from all over the world and their different perspectives combine to create a rich and productive community. Our students develop cultural fluency and a global perspective that are prized by employers. Many of our students take up the opportunity to study abroad, which develops these characteristics even further.

录取要求
UCL的本科课程一般3年，有交流项目，跨学院项目或者医学类项目4年，入学要求在AAB-A*A*A之间，IB成绩34分-39分之间，语言要求在6.5-7.5分以上，而且对单科成绩有要求，托福成绩在92-109左右，同样对于单科也有要求，这些要求在官网可以很容易的找到
需要请同学和家长注意的是，网站上的成绩要求只是一个通用标准，还是要根据学生的具体情况来确定是否可以录取，最后要求的成绩以offer的成绩要求为准，这个成绩可能跟官网的略有差异
UCL最难申请的专业包括：经济，数学，数学与物理，数学与统计，计算机科学，欧洲社会与政治研究，哲学政治与经济，土木工程，机械工程，法律，自然科学，心理学等专业
学校特点
UCL是G5中最厚道的学校，因为容纳量较大，专业开设丰富，所以每年都可以发放大量的录取，也是G5中所谓的“保底院校“。但是随着中国学生申请人数的增加，预估成绩的水分放大，每年可以获得AAA预估成绩的学生非常多，所以导致UCL的申请难度提升
经常有人问我，UCL哪个专业最好录取，确实官网有些专业的录取要求是：ABB，可是随着竞争的加剧，相信申请材料所起的作用会越来越强，希望各位同学和家长慎重看待UCL的申请
TIPS：
部分专业对于ALEVEL的科目有要求，需要提前规划ALEVEL选课
如果有可能，可以考虑EPQ，EPQ对于UCL的申请有一定帮助，远胜于市面上所谓的活动和比赛
在GCSE阶段如果选择了ESL，获得C以上的成绩在申请的时候部分专业可以不需要提交雅思成绩
法律专业需要提交LNAT成绩，生物医学专业需要提交BMAT成绩
申请中更多的ALEVEL科目不一定会为你带来加分，甚至可能会分散你的精力
UCL是可以接受Defer申请的，就是延期入学，但是近些年越来越多的学生遇到问题，比如专业取消，学校位置已满，所以尽量不要考虑defer
