About UCL Access Opportunity Scholarships
The UCL Access Opportunity Scholarships are fully funded undergraduate scholarships available to international students. These scholarships cover both tuition fees and provide a living allowance of £11,000 per year.
The primary aim of the Access Opportunity Scholarship is to support individuals who, due to their immigration status, are unable to secure student loans for higher education.
University College London (UCL) is a globally renowned multi-disciplinary university, home to more than 11,000 staff and 39,000 students from 150 different countries. Founded in 1826 in the heart of London, UCL was one of the two founding institutions of the University of London and the first university in England to welcome students of any religion and to admit women on equal terms with men.
