| ADMISSIONS > UCAS Open Days |

Welcome to the Department of Computer Science.

Thank you for applying to UCL Computer Science. We are currently considering your application.

Please browse these pages to find out more about what happens at our UCAS Open Days as well as book your place on the date of your choice.

Open Day Overview

We know that visiting universities can be daunting, so we have tried to make our Open Days as informative and enjoyable as we can. You will not be interviewed at the Open Day –there is little evidence to suggest that an interview is the best way to select candidates. We want you to be as relaxed as possible at the Open Day so that you are able to get the most from it.

The Department

The Department of Computer Science is situated in the recently built Malet Place Engineering Building, (MPEB), on the main UCL Bloomsbury campus.

The Open Days are held primarily in the department, but we also aim to show you some of what the rest of the UCL campus has to offer.

Dress Code

We do not have a strict dress code for the interviews or Open Day. However, most applicants choose to dress in a smart-casual manner.

The Schedule of the Day

(Please note that the timing and events shown are subject to change. If you anticipate any difficulties with the timing of the day please make a note on the submission form when booking your Open Day).

Getting to UCL

By Car
We would usually recommend taking public transport when travelling to UCL. However, if you do wish to travel by car please be aware that we are within the congestion charging zone and there is no parking available on the university campus. Please also note that the parking in the Bloomsbury area is very difficult to find and can be expensive.

By Public Transport
Please see our Getting to UCL pages for further information on how to find the university. The nearest mainline stations are Euston, and King's Cross St. Pancras and the closest underground stations are Euston Square, Euston, Goodge Street and Warren Street. We recommend using the Transport for London website when planning your journey in London, as it holds information on all methods of transport in London as well as having up-to-the-minute information on delays and route changes.
