About this course

What will I learn?

The UCL Institute for Environmental Design and Engineering pursues a deeper understanding of the interactions between the built environment and human wellbeing, health, productivity, energy use and climate change. Our multidisciplinary research programme and strong industry links provide an excellent foundation for MPhil/PhD study. Our academics, doctoral and postdoctoral researchers carry out world-leading research in the field of sustainable building design, engineering and social science. Our research is original, influential, and always relevant to the biggest global challenges. Our research themes are interdisciplinary, overlapping, and dynamic. Our ultimate goal is to deliver interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary built environment research to improve wellbeing, health and sustainability. Our MPhil/PhD degree appeals to students from across many disciplines such as design, engineering, social science, health, and more. We have taken students from many different backgrounds and with differing experiences and states of employment. We appreciate such diversity in our students' backgrounds because it helps give a more holistic understanding of the grand challenges we are interested in addressing.

Entry requirements

For international students

A minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard, in a relevant subject, is essential. Exceptionally: where applicants have other suitable research or professional experience, they may be admitted without a Master's degree; or where applicants have a lower second-class UK Honours Bachelor's degree (2:2) (or equivalent) they must possess a relevant Master's degree to be admitted. We expect any successful application to include a sufficiently strong and convincing proposal, and those holding a Master's degree are typically well prepared to provide one. Relevant work experience is highly desirable. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis but should be submitted at least three months prior to your preferred start date.

*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
