What are UCL University Preparatory Certificates (UPC courses)?
UPC courses are intensive undergraduate foundation courses which has been developed specifically for ambitious international students of high academic potential who have completed their secondary education in their home country, and who do not yet qualify for direct entry to undergraduate study in the leading UK universities. Suitable UPC candidates will typically be international secondary school students not following school qualifications which allow them to enter UCL degree programmes directly after their school graduation i.e. students who have followed a 12-year school system.
