Overview

As an MPhil or PhD student in this Environmental Design and Engineering programme from University College London (UCL), you will engage with complex real-world design, engineering and policy projects and issues. 

You will have the opportunity to collaborate with a wide range of academic disciplines and professional partners and will conduct research that has the potential to command an audience and an influence far beyond UCL, London and the UK.
