University College London

SAT 1470+

UCL publishes three qualifying routes for US applicants: (1) 5,5,5,4 across five distinct AP subjects, (2) 5,5 in two AP subjects plus a combined SAT of 1470 or ACT composite of 33, or (3) one year at a recognized US college/university at 3.3/4.0 CGPA. UK A-level equivalent is A*AA including Maths. Confirmed current for 2027 entry.

AAB, no specific subjects required but at least two from UCL's preferred A-level list, any Science required at GCSE grade B/6 (A-level); IB 36 points (minimum 17 across three HL subjects, no HL score below 5)

UCL's own Anthropology BSc programme page confirms the AAB/IB 36 standard -- the lowest A-level bar. Filed under 'Humanities' as the closest existing taxonomy bucket for a social-science course without a dedicated one, the same reasoning already applied to LSE's and Glasgow's Sociology entries (filed under 'International Relations & Politics' instead) -- Anthropology's closer kinship to archaeology/human-sciences-style Humanities entries than to Politics is a judgment call, noted explicitly rather than silently applied. Contextual offer: BBB. US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published.

ABB, no specific subjects required though at least two A-levels should come from UCL's preferred list; IB 16-point 3-HL aggregate, no score below 5

UCL's own Archaeology BA programme page (UCAS code F400) confirms the ABB/IB standard and no required subjects; the Institute of Archaeology is 'currently ranked third in the world for archaeology in the QS World Rankings 2024,' per the same page. No admissions test named. Contextual offer: BBC. Filed under 'Humanities', the same treatment given to Oxford's Archaeology and Anthropology and Cambridge's Archaeology. No US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figure could be confirmed -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published. Application deadline 14 January 2026.

SAT 1280+

UCL's official US-applicant Q&A page states a combined SAT score of 1280+ (final three years of high school) plus 4 APs at grade 5 including at least one essay-based arts/humanities subject, or 5,5,5,5 across four AP subjects with the same humanities requirement, or one year at a US college finishing with a 3.3+ GPA -- no ACT figure was stated on this page. This is UCL's general US-applicant standard, not confirmed specific to Architecture; UCL's course-specific Architecture pages (checked directly, two different addresses) did not load entry-requirement or portfolio details. Architecture admissions at UCL's Bartlett school is understood to also require a portfolio, standard across essentially all architecture programs, but the specific mechanics weren't confirmed on an official page. Kept at 'partial'.

AAA, Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics all required (A-level); IB 38 points, HL Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics all required, no HL score below 5

UCL's own Biochemistry BSc programme page confirms the AAA/IB 38 standard and the three-required-science-subjects requirement (Biology, Chemistry, and Mathematics all mandatory, not a choose-one list, the same pattern as Glasgow's Chemical Physics entry elsewhere in this list). Contextual offer: ABB (A-level, A in Chemistry) or 34 points (IB). No US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figure could be confirmed -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published.

AAA including Biology, plus one of Chemistry/Life and Health Sciences/Mathematics/Physics; IB 18-point 3-HL aggregate including HL6 Biology plus one of Chemistry/Mathematics/Physics, no score below 5

UCL's own Biological Sciences BSc programme page (UCAS code C900) confirms the AAA/IB standard and the Biology-plus-one-more-science requirement; GCSE English Language and Mathematics at grade B/6 required. No admissions test named. Contextual offer: ABB (A-level, A in Biology). US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published. Application deadline 14 January 2026.

AAA, Biology and Chemistry required, Mathematics preferred (A-level); IB 38 points, HL6 Biology and HL6 Chemistry, no HL score below 5

UCL's own Biomedical Sciences BSc programme page confirms the AAA/IB 38 standard and the Biology-plus-Chemistry requirement. Filed under 'Natural Sciences & Mathematics' rather than 'Medicine & Health Sciences' -- the same judgment call already applied to Oxford's and King's College London's Biomedical Sciences entries: a BSc science degree, not a clinical/physician-track course, so no ECFMG sponsor-note lookup applies to it. Contextual offer: AAB (AA in Biology/Chemistry) or 36 points (IB). US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published.

AAA, Mathematics and Chemistry required (A-level); IB 38 points, HL6 Mathematics and HL6 Chemistry, no HL score below 5

UCL's own Chemical Engineering BEng programme page confirms the AAA/IB 38 standard and the Mathematics-plus-Chemistry requirement, with Biology/Economics/Further Mathematics/Geography/Physics/Psychology all listed as preferred (not mandatory) third subjects -- a genuinely wide preferred-subject list compared with the other Engineering entries. Contextual offer: ABB (Mathematics A, Chemistry B) or 34 points (IB). US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published.

AAA (A-level), Chemistry plus at least one of Biology/Physics/Mathematics required; IB 38 points, HL6 Chemistry and HL6 in Biology/Physics/Mathematics, no HL score below 5

UCL's own Chemistry BSc course page confirms the AAA/IB 38 standard and the Chemistry-plus-one-more-science requirement, with a preferred (not mandatory) third subject from Biology/Physics/Mathematics/Further Mathematics/Computer Science/Psychology. No admissions test named. US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published. Contextual offer: ABB.

A*AA, no specific subjects required but at least two from UCL's preferred A-level list, Mathematics and Physics required at GCSE grade A/7 if not taken at A-level (A-level); IB 39 points, Physics required at HL or SL, no HL score below 5

UCL's own Civil Engineering BEng programme page confirms the A*AA/IB 39 standard; unlike the other Engineering entries, no A-level Mathematics or Physics is formally mandated, only a GCSE-level floor plus two subjects from UCL's preferred list, and an Engineering Foundation Year route exists for applicants who don't meet standard entry. Contextual offer: AAB (A-level) or 36 points (IB). US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published.

AAB, no subject requirements except the Language and Literature route (grade A in Ancient/Classical Greek or Latin); IB 36 points, 17-point 3-HL aggregate (no score below 5), Language and Literature route requires HL6 Ancient/Classical Greek or Latin

A real course-name correction caught by search rather than assumed: UCL has no course simply titled 'Classics BA' -- the actual single-honours route is 'Classics and the Ancient World BA' (UCAS Q802), added here under its real name. Its own programme page confirms the AAB/IB 36 standard, and that only its Language and Literature route (one of several within the degree, alongside a no-subject-requirement Literature/History/Archaeology route and an Ancient Middle Eastern Studies route) requires a specific A-level subject. No admissions test named. Contextual offer: BBB (A-level) or 32 points (IB). US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published. Application deadline 14 January 2026.

A*A*A (A-level), A* in Mathematics or Further Mathematics required; IB 40 points, HL7 Mathematics (Analysis and Approaches preferred)

UCL's own Computer Science BSc programme page confirms the A*A*A/IB 40 (HL7 Maths) standard and that all 2026-cycle applicants sit the TARA (Test of Academic Reasoning for Admissions). US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures live behind a JavaScript country selector checking directly couldn't resolve -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published. Contextual offer (Access UCL): A*AB (A-level) or 38 points (IB). Application deadline 14 January 2026.

A*AA, A* in Mathematics required plus Physics or Further Mathematics preferred as the second subject (A-level); IB 39 points (19 across three HL subjects, HL7 Mathematics, Physics preferred), no HL score below 5

UCL's own Electronic and Electrical Engineering BEng programme page confirms the A*AA/IB 39 standard and that all 2026-cycle applicants sit the ESAT (Maths 1 plus any two of Physics/Maths 2/Chemistry/Biology) -- a real, confirmed admissions test unlike most of the other Engineering entries. US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published.

AAA including English Literature or combined Language and Literature (A-level); IB 38 points, HL6 English A1 Literature/Language and Literature, no HL score below 5

UCL's own English BA programme page confirms the AAA/IB 38 standard and the English Literature subject requirement, and states shortlisted candidates complete a 40-minute written assessment (critical commentary on unseen poetry or prose) plus an informal online interview -- a real, confirmed admissions test unlike most of the other Humanities entries. Contextual offer: ABB. US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published.

ABB, no specific subjects required but at least two from UCL's preferred A-level list (A-level); IB 16 points minimum across three HL subjects, no HL score below 5, plus a portfolio

UCL's own Fine Art BA programme page (Slade School of Fine Art) confirms the ABB/IB 16-points-HL-minimum standard -- the lowest grade floor by design, since admission runs primarily on the mandatory portfolio (up to 20 pages, max 450MB PDF, current and self-initiated work, each image titled with date/size/materials; time-based or performance work may include a showreel up to 5 minutes) rather than academic grades alone. Contextual offer: CCC (A-level) or 30 points (IB). US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published.

AAA, no specific subjects required but at least two from UCL's preferred A-level list (A-level); IB 38 points, no HL score below 5

UCL's own Geography BSc programme page confirms the AAA/IB 38 standard and that no specific subject is required, only two from UCL's preferred A-level list -- a real contrast with Cambridge's, LSE's, and Edinburgh's Geography entries, most of which do require a named science or geography-adjacent subject. Contextual offer: ABB (A-level) or 34 points (IB). No US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figure could be confirmed -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published.

AAA including History (A-level); IB 38 points, HL6 History, no HL score below 5

UCL's own History BA programme page confirms the AAA/IB 38 (HL6 History) standard. No admissions test named. Contextual offer (Access UCL): ABB (A-level, A in History) or 34 points (IB). US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published.

AAB, no specific subjects required though essay-based subjects are an advantage, at least two from UCL's preferred A-level list; IB 17-point 3-HL aggregate, no score below 5

UCL's own History of Art BA programme page (UCAS code V350) confirms the AAB/IB standard and that no specific subject is required, only two from UCL's preferred A-level list, with essay-based subjects described as an advantage. No admissions test named. Contextual offer: ABC (A-level, B in an essay-based subject) or 15 points (IB). Filed under 'Humanities' rather than 'Creative Arts & Design' -- no portfolio or studio-practice admissions component, the same reasoning the existing Cambridge History of Art entry already establishes for the identical course-name pairing at a different institution. US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published. Application deadline 14 January 2026.

A*AA, a Humanities/Social Science subject or Mathematics preferred (A-level); IB 39 points (19 across three HL subjects, minimum 5 per subject)

UCL's own International Social and Political Studies BA programme page confirms the A*AA/IB 39 standard and that all applicants sit the TARA, the same test the Computer Science entry requires. A language-specialism track exists requiring French or Spanish at A-level grade A (or HL6), not published as a separate row. Contextual offer: A*AB or AAB (A-level) or 36 points (IB). US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published.

A*AA, no specific subjects required (A-level), GCSE English and Mathematics at B/6; IB 39 points, minimum 5 in each HL subject

UCL's own Law LLB programme page confirms the A*AA/IB 39 standard and that all applicants must sit the LNAT and register it with UCL by the application-cycle deadline; the programme doesn't accept resits. Contextual offer: AAB (A-level) or 36 points (IB). US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published.

AAB, English Language A-level preferred but not required; IB 36 points, no HL score below 5, English Language preferred

UCL's own Linguistics BA programme page (UCAS code Q100) confirms the AAB/IB 36 standard; GCSE English Language grade B/6 and Mathematics grade C/4 required. No admissions test named. Contextual offer: BBB (A-level) or 32 points (IB). US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published. Application deadline 14 January 2026.

A*AA with A* in Mathematics, Science or Social Science subjects preferred as the remainder; IB 39 points, HL7 Mathematics, no score below 5

UCL's own Management Science BSc programme page (UCAS code N991) confirms the A*AA/IB 39 (HL7 Maths) standard and states directly that, for the 2026 cycle, all applicants must sit the TARA (Test of Academic Reasoning for Admissions) alongside their UCAS application, registered and paid for through University Admissions Tests UK -- the same test the existing UCL Computer Science BSc entry already documents, a real, confirmed contrast with the other 9 courses, none of which name an admissions test. Contextual offer: A*BB (A-level) or 36 points, HL7 Mathematics (IB). US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published. Application deadline 14 January 2026.

A*A*A with A*A* in Mathematics and Further Mathematics, or A*AA with A*A in Mathematics and Further Mathematics in any order, plus grade 2 in any STEP paper or a Distinction in the Mathematics AEA (A-level); IB 40 points (20 across three HL subjects, HL7 Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches), or 39 points (19 across three HL, HL7 Mathematics) plus the same STEP/AEA requirement

In short: near-top grades in Maths and Further Maths, plus a passing score on a separate maths test. A-level: A*A*A with A* in both Maths and Further Maths -- or A*AA with A* and A in those two subjects, but only if you also score at least a 2 on any STEP paper or a Distinction on the Maths AEA (both are additional exams beyond A-level itself). IB: 40 points (with a 7 in HL Maths) -- or 39 points plus that same STEP/AEA requirement.

UCL's own Mathematics BSc programme page confirms the A*A*A/A*AA standard plus a real, additional STEP-or-AEA requirement layered on top of the A-level/IB grades themselves -- a genuine second testing hurdle beyond the other STEM entries, none of which carry one. Resits not accepted. US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published.

A*AA including Mathematics and Physics, A* in one of the two required subjects; IB 39 points, HL7 and HL6 in Mathematics and Physics, Economics preferred as third subject

UCL's own Mechanical Engineering BEng programme page (UCAS code H300) confirms the A*AA/IB 39 (HL7/HL6 Maths and Physics) standard. No admissions test named on this specific page -- not independently reconfirmed against a second source, so treated as a genuine gap rather than a confirmed absence, unlike the Archaeology/History of Art no-test findings. Contextual offer: A*AB (A-level) or 38 points, HL7 in one of Mathematics/Physics (IB). US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published. Application deadline 14 January 2026.

A*AA, including A*A in Chemistry and Biology in either order (A-level)

UCL Medical School's own 2027-entry requirements page confirms the A*AA/A*A-in-Chemistry-and-Biology standard and states all applicants must sit the UCAT and complete a Multiple Mini Interview, but names no SAT, ACT, or AP figure anywhere for US applicants. This is a genuine gap distinct from UCL's general US-applicants Q&A page (already used for the existing UCL Economics and Architecture entries, which does publish a real AP-plus-SAT-or-one-year-of-college route) -- the Medicine-specific page simply doesn't restate or confirm that general pathway applies here, and UK medical admissions are well documented to run independently of a university's general international policy. No direct SAT/ACT figure published.

A*AA, Mathematics plus at least one of Biology/Chemistry/Physics required (A-level); IB 39 points, HL6 Mathematics plus HL6 in at least one of Biology/Chemistry/Physics, no HL score below 5

UCL's own Natural Sciences BSc programme page confirms the A*AA/IB 39 standard and the Mathematics-plus-one-science requirement; the page flags that individual streams within Natural Sciences may carry additional prerequisites not detailed on this general programme page. Contextual offer: AAB (A-level) or 36 points (IB). US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published.

AAA including Chemistry, plus one of Biology/Life and Health Sciences/Mathematics/Physics; IB 18-point 3-HL aggregate including HL Chemistry plus one of Biology/Mathematics/Physics, no score below 5

UCL's own Neuroscience BSc programme page (UCAS code B140) confirms the AAA/IB standard and the Chemistry-plus-one-more-science requirement; GCSE English Language and Mathematics at grade B/6 required. No formal admissions test -- the page states selection is based on grades plus 'understanding of neuroscience' and 'demonstrated passion for the subject,' evaluated through the personal statement rather than a sat exam. Contextual offer: AAB with AA in Chemistry and another science (A-level), or 36 points with Biology and Mathematics both at HL6 (IB). Filed under 'Natural Sciences & Mathematics' rather than 'Medicine & Health Sciences', the same reasoning as UCL's Pharmacology entry -- Neuroscience is a science degree, not a physician-training programme, so it doesn't belong in the Medicine category. US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published. Application deadline 14 January 2026.

AAB including Chemistry, plus one of Biology/Life and Health Sciences/Mathematics/Physics; IB 36 points, no HL score below 5, Chemistry plus one of the same subject list

UCL's own Pharmacology BSc programme page (UCAS code B210) confirms the AAB/IB 36 standard and the Chemistry-plus-one-more-science requirement; GCSE English Language and Mathematics at grade B/6 required. No admissions test named. Contextual offer: ABB (A-level) or 34 points (IB). Filed under 'Natural Sciences & Mathematics' rather than 'Medicine & Health Sciences' -- Pharmacology is a science degree, not a physician/GMC-registration-track course (and distinct from Pharmacy, a separate pharmacist-training degree), so filing it under 'Medicine & Health Sciences' would misclassify it. US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published. Application deadline 14 January 2026.

AAA, no specific subjects required but at least two from UCL's preferred A-level list (A-level); IB 38 points, no HL score below 5

UCL's own Philosophy BA programme page confirms the AAA/IB 38 standard and that no specific subject is required, only two from UCL's preferred A-level list. No admissions test named. Contextual offer: ABB. US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published.

A*AA with A*A in Mathematics and Physics in any order (A-level); IB 39 points, HL7 and HL6 in Mathematics and Physics in any order, no HL score below 5

UCL's own Physics BSc programme page confirms the A*AA/IB 39 standard and the Mathematics-plus-Physics-in-any-order requirement. Contextual offer: AAB (A-level, AA in Maths/Physics) or 36 points (IB). US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published.

AAA, no specific subjects required though an essay-based subject is preferred, at least two from UCL's preferred A-level list; IB 38 points, no HL score below 5, essay-based HL subject preferred

UCL's own Politics and International Relations BSc programme page (UCAS code L251) confirms the AAA/IB 38 standard and the essay-based-subject preference (not mandatory). No admissions test named. Contextual offer: ABB (A-level) or 34 points (IB). US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published. Application deadline 14 January 2026.

A*AA (A-level), A*A from two of Biology/Chemistry/Mathematics/Physics/Psychology; IB 39 points, HL7 and HL6 in two of the same subjects, no HL score below 5

UCL's own Psychology BSc programme page confirms the A*AA/IB 39 standard and the two-sciences requirement; GCSE English Language, Mathematics, and two Sciences all required at grade B/6. No admissions test named. US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published. Application deadline 14 January 2026.

A*AA, A* in Mathematics required, Further Mathematics preferred (A-level); IB 39 points, HL7 Mathematics, no HL score below 5

UCL's own Statistics BSc programme page confirms the A*AA/IB 39 standard and the A*-in-Mathematics requirement. Resits not accepted. Contextual offer: A*BB (A-level) or 36 points (IB). US-applicant SAT/ACT/AP figures not resolvable -- no direct SAT/ACT figure published.
