Career Experiences

Students can choose to work towards a UCAS-accredited work experience qualification, worth 8 UCAS tariff points. This means their time on the programme doesn’t just feel valuable – it is valuable. Students leave with recognised evidence of their commitment, skills, and career exploration, helping them stand out in competitive university applications.

Our career experiences offer students a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in their chosen profession. They step directly into the role and take part in immersive career simulations designed to reflect what professionals actually do. For example:

• Young Doctors visit a teaching hospital and take part in a simulated ward round
• Young Lawyers argue a human rights case at the UK Supreme Court
• Young Investment bankers build an equities portfolio with the guidance of asset managers
• Young Engineers perform an engine teardown under the supervision of automotive professionals

Students finish with a far clearer understanding of whether a career is right for them – before committing at university or beyond.

Teaching is led by experienced professionals, not just tutors. Students learn from people who work in these careers every day, gaining insight into day-to-day life in the industry, routes into the profession, and how to make competitive choices at school and university.

Our career experiences are hosted on the UCL campus, giving students a genuine taste of life at a top university. From studying in university spaces to exploring central London, students experience the independence, academic atmosphere, and excitement of undergraduate life.

Students study alongside like-minded, motivated peers from around the world. The experience is collaborative, social, and inspiring – offering the chance to make international friendships, share your ambitions, and learn from others who are just as driven.
