You may express a preference for either UCL or University of Cambridge at pre-application stage.

Step 2: Shortlisted candidates will be invited to interview. 

Step 3: Successful interviewees are invited to make a full application* to either UCL or University of Cambridge. Full applications are processed by the respective university.
