If you are a postgraduate with a question, it may have already been asked. Check the list of questions and answers below. If your query has not been answered then please send us an email.
Q: Hi, I've gotten accepted to (MA,MSc,PhD) and now I am wondering about accomodation. Are there postgrad only halls?
A: Unfortunately, there are no postgraduate exclusive UCL Halls of Residence. However, in residences occupied by both graduate students and undergraduate students, attempts are made by the Residence Management to segregate the flats or corridors, where possible, to avoid a conflict of interests.
If you did want to find a privately rented flat with some other students, a good place to look might be http://housing.london.ac.uk/cms/, the University of London housing website, as you can either look for people who have a house and need housemates, or people who are also looking for somewhere to stay.
Q: I'm a postgraduate who wants to play sports and I don't have Wednesday afternoons free. What can I do?
A: The PGA is campaigning for postgraduates to have Wednesday afternoons free as well.

Usually weekend for field sports and weekday evenings for indoor sports. The UCL sports teams who provide this are:
