Getting part-time jobs when studying at UCL is possible. These jobs are available on campus, such as in UCL's cafes, bars, accommodations, and administrative roles. However, these positions are limited and quite competitive to secure. Many UCL students find part-time work off-campus, often in the service industry as baristas, waiters/waitresses, or in retail, earning around £9-12 per hour and working 16-22 hours per week.

The minimum entry requirement is ABB, but realistically you'll need to aim for AAA or A*AA to stand out. UCL considers three A-Levels, so if you've taken more, they'll look at your three the highest grades.
