There is no offer calculator for UCL Robotics and AI yet
We build a calculator only when a university has released how the chance of an offer changes with test score. For Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, UCL has released:
- no offer rates by TARA score, for either scored module
- no TARA scores for applicants who did not get an offer
- one TARA figure per course: an average for 2026 offer holders, labelled "overall". TARA gives separate Critical Thinking and Problem Solving scores, and UCL has not said how its figure combines them. An average of the people who got an offer cannot give the chance at any particular score either.
- 2026 was the first year UCL used TARA, so there is one year of results at most
Until UCL releases TARA scores by outcome, no one outside UCL can work out a chance of an offer from a TARA score for this course. What UCL has released is below.

Every figure on this page is UCL's own, from its replies to Freedom of Information requests and its course pages.
Counts are of applications to each programme code, so one person who applied to two UCL programmes counts in each. Where UCL changed a programme's code, the old and new codes are added together. UCL shows counts of 5 or fewer as "<5"; those are left out of the totals.

What TARA score do you need for UCL Robotics and AI?
UCL publishes no minimum TARA score, and has released no offer rates by TARA score.
UCL has required TARA for this course since 2026 entry.
TARA has three modules, all compulsory: Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and a Writing Task. Critical Thinking and Problem Solving are each scored from 1 to 9 to one decimal place, scaled so the median is 4.5 and the 90th percentile 7.0. The Writing Task is not scored: UAT-UK sends your response to the universities. There is no pass mark.
UCL's admissions pages say it will use test scores alongside the rest of the UCAS application to evaluate each applicant's academic profile.
For more on the test at UCL, see our guide to TARA at UCL.
Who gets an offer
For 2023 entry, UK applications had an offer rate of 41.3% (59 of 143), close to the course's 40.2% overall.
UCL counted UK national and domiciled applications separately for the first intake: 143 of the 366, with 59 offers.
For 2025 entry UCL said 20 of 40 overseas applicants predicted or holding A* in both Mathematics and Further Mathematics got an offer. It released no figure for other overseas applicants that year, so this does not show how much those grades helped.
Entry requirements
UCL asks for A*A*A at A-level for 2027 entry, with an A* in Mathematics or Further Mathematics.
IB applicants need 40 points, with 20 across three Higher Level subjects including 7 in Mathematics. UCL's contextual offer is A*AB, or 38 IB points.
UCL's course page describes no interview.
