Official sources
Read on 1 November 2026 on UCL's Arts and Sciences (Health and Environment) BASc course page, which describes 2027 entry.

The course
Interdisciplinary modules built around health and environment
UCL describes a wide combination of specialist modules from across UCL and an interdisciplinary core taught by the Arts and Sciences department. The course links traditional UCL subjects in new ways. Students study a modern foreign language throughout the degree and are supported to gain work experience through internships. This guide did not read module lists or the pathway structure.
Is it the right degree?
Beside Biomedical Sciences and Geography
Neighbouring UCL degrees study health and environment within a single discipline.
Choose this pathway if
you want health and environmental questions across sciences and social sciences.
Look at UCL Biomedical Sciences if
you want a single biomedical discipline. Avandy's guide covers it.
Look at UCL Geography if
your interest is geography. Avandy's UCL Geography guide covers it.
Entry rules
A*AA with a science and a second subject, or IB 39
A-level applicants need A*AA; one of Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Geography or Psychology is required plus an additional science or social science, and at least two A-levels from UCL's list of preferred subjects.
