1° CYCLE : Bachelors, minors, preparatory years

During their Bachelor’s programme students receive their initial academic training, whilst at the same time personalise the curriculum by choosing a minor.
Some programmes organise preparatory years destined to specific target audiences, in most cases to allow access to certain Master’s.

2° CYCLE : Masters, teacher training, advanced Masters

UCL proposes nearly a hundred Master’s of 60 credits (one year) or 120 credits (two years). During this second cycle, students choose between a teaching focus, a research focus or a professional focus, depending of the career they envision.

3° CYCLE : PhDs

At third cycle-level students can enrol in a PhD programme, which is composed of the compulsory doctoral training and the research in preparation of the doctoral thesis. 

 CONTINUING EDUCATION

UCL also has a large offer of continuing education courses in a wide range of disciplines, both leading to certificates or not.
