UCL is amazing, in terms of staff, faculty, and crowd.
Tips: Just be open to making memories, don't stress a lot about employment, and keep putting in regular efforts. Enjoy time at UCL because usually classes are only 3-4 days a week, go out with your friends. UCL has a lot of good and student friendly bars, and a lot of food joints as well. No cultural difference, UCL is very acceptable, and students from all over the world come to UCL.
Likes (Student Life): UCL is amazing in terms of staff faculty and crowd. It is located in the heart of London which is the main campus. They have various societies and different events happening almost every day. I was a part of the UCL pro bono project and it was really nice. I participated in 2 to 3 dance events as well and everything was beyond good. UCL is good in terms of getting the right exposure a good crowd and making memorable memories.
Dislikes (Internships): The university provides guidance and support to students however current UK market is challenging. Internships are available applications need to be submitted 5-6 months before and the process requires rigorous and continuous effort. Universities provide websites but an independent application is more important.

Privileged to be a UCL alumnus.
Tips: I have transitioned. Scholarships are less so you need to work hard. I didn't really experience a cultural shift because I was quite exposed to Western culture and countries since I was a child. I love London and my university; I graduated last month with a Merit overall and a distinction in my dissertation which is also being published, and I work in London now.
Likes (Internships): Whilst I was in college I used to visit libraries, student cafes, we were in Bloomsbury which was the heart of London, so everything was within walking distance. I was the Vice President of the International Public Affairs Society. UCL has 1000s of societies.
Dislikes (Safety): The department is very accessible and accommodating. The word I'd like to use is student friendly. UCL teaching doesn't just give you facts, it makes you learn how to think critically. The teaching faculty is very diverse. It's a global university. There are people from all nationalities.

Diverse college campus and lots of learning opportunities.
Tips: Coming to UCL has been a transformative experience both academically and personally. The transition helped me grow significantly as an individual. Being surrounded by so many bright and passionate people naturally pushes you to think more deeply about your subject and to constantly improve yourself. I didn't feel a major culture shift as everyone at UCL was incredible pathetic welcoming and respectuful which makes adapting much easier. I feel extremely satisfied with my university course and country as a whole. At UCL I had the opportunity to learn from and work with some of the best professors, all of whom were exceptionally supportive and helpful throughout my academic journey making the experience even more rewarding.
Dislikes (Part time work): Although there are good opportunities both on and off campus, balancing them with the intensity of a one-year masters course is a bit challenging. UCL provides plenty of on-campus roles, especially for Bachelor's students, such as student ambassador positions and paid roles within the UCL Students' Union. UCL's career website is also very helpful, through which students can apply for part-time jobs and paid internships. Off-campus jobs are usually in retail, hospitality, customer service, and administrative work. Part-time work becomes more manageable during vacation when there is more time to catch up on studies. The average payout for part-time work in London typically ranges from 12-15 pounds per hour, and on-campus roles often pay slightly higher, around 14-17 pounds per hour.

UCL pushes you to be the best version of yourself.
Tips: The transition has been challenging. The workload I have is a lot here but then it's a part of the process. It's a prestigious university and hence it's academically rigorous. The best part is that all I have to do is ask for help whenever I'm struggling and there will be people around me who can guide me and help me with anything. I'm very happy and grateful for the opportunity to be a student at UCL and live in London.
Likes (Quality of faculty): I love the campus and the facilities that are provided. There are many amount of clubs and activities being conducted although I don't get to attend them frequently as I am busy. There are clubs for dance, music, debate, educational, academic, research, cultural linguistic societies and many more. I mostly spend my day attending lectures and catching up on them by studying in the library on campus. I also get to spend time with some of my amazing friends I met here.
Dislikes (Student Life): The faculty is really approachable, especially for my field. The kind of research exposure I'm getting here is phenomenal! The lectures involve the professor talking about their lab's research and its findings. The faculty is very diverse and friendly. They're really approachable for any sort of doubts or queries.

Vibrant and diverse campus life.
Tips: It is an amazing college to do an undergraduate degree at. It is friendly and welcoming. The academics are very strong. Student life is beaming thanks to the many student societies, frequent student events and joyful environment on campus. Here, you study hard and party harder.
Likes (Indian Food): There are an innumerable number of Indian restaurants in London, and food from any part of India you want. I was very pleasantly surprised by the taste too. On average, a good meal will cost you about 15-20 pounds pp. I prefer cooking at home than going outside.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It is a little difficult to obtain a work visa here after the visa requirements have changed. The volatile institutional environment around it discourages employers from hiring Indians, as it would require their support. There is still racism in the wider community.

Management MSc - Batch of 2026
3.9
There are many opportunities to engage and explore.
Tips: Students should know that transitioning into UCL especially the School of Management largely depends on their prior academic environment. For me it was a significant shift because the focus here is much more practical group work, interaction, teamwork and real-world application rather than only lectures or written assignments. From day one classes are highly engaging and you’re encouraged to participate instead of just listening passively. In terms of culture, London is a friendly yet professional place. People here balance warmth and formality very well whether it’s classmates, professors, or even the management team, communication feels open and respectful. Anyone coming from a different cultural or academic background might notice the shift, but it’s easy to adapt. Regarding scholarships, UCL offers limited options directly through the university. Once you receive your offer, they email you the scholarship details. I applied but did not receive one. Still, the process is straightforward. I’m extremely satisfied with my course and the university overall. The only minor drawback is that UCL has three campuses, and most events and societies are centered around Bloomsbury. Since SOM is in Canary Wharf, travel can feel expensive and sometimes makes us feel slightly distant from the main campus vibe. However, the SOM campus itself is stunning being on one of the top floors with panoramic views of London, sunsets, the skyline, Tower Bridge, and the London Eye is something truly special. The course content is well balanced and prepares you for the actual management world. As for the country, the UK, especially London, is welcoming, diverse, and full of opportunities. Living here genuinely feels like fulfilling a dream and gives a strong main character energy.
Likes (Student Life): Even with a busy academic schedule, there are many opportunities to engage and explore. As a management student I have compulsory 3 hour lectures every day and at least once a week I attend seminars or workshops that are optional but very enriching. UCL has three campuses- UCL School of Management where all management lectures happen, Bloomsbury and UCL East. Most social events take place at Bloomsbury. Our SOM campus mainly hosts academic sessions. Student clubs and communities aren’t campus-specific; they are open to all UCL students. There are clubs for arts, sports, music, reading, dance, hiking, cooking, cultural and religious groups, pride communities, and even niche ones like the Cat Club. The vibrancy of the UCL student community and the wide range of opportunities make student life active and enjoyable.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking for myself than eating out. it is affordable and allows me to choose exactly what I want. In Canary Wharf there are a few good Indian restaurants such as Dishoom Kricket IndiGo Rasoi Manjal and Mala by the riverside.

On Alumni
Q:   Did Alexander Graham Bell attend University College London?
A: 

Yes, the inventor of the telephone pursued a course in Anatomy & Physiology.

However, his time at the institute was brief. 

He left his education mid-way to move with his family to Canada in 1870.

Graham Bell emphasized elocution, i.e. the ability to speak clearly & expressively & this came in very useful during his later research in the field of speech therapy & audiology.

Q:   Which has better chances of admission: University College London or University of Oxford?
A: 

The UCL acceptance rate of 36% is nearly twice that of Oxford University which has an acceptance rate of 17%.

Thus, it can be said that University College London is relatively easier to secure admissions at than Oxford.

However, both institutes are selective to a good extent, & interested applicants must maintain a solid academic record & resume demonstrating their non-academic capabilities to secure admissions at either institute.
