Overview
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.
You will have the opportunity to work across disciplinary boundaries across The Bartlett School of Environment, Energy and Resources – home to four specialist sustainability-focused Institutes on energy, resources, environmental design and engineering, and heritage.
Studying with us is about excelling at your own discipline, whilst benefiting from thinking and working with interdisciplinary colleagues. This will allow you to develop your research skills, and open up new career opportunities in the broad field of environment, energy and resources.
The foundation of your career
The Environmental Design and Engineering programme at University College London (UCL) aims to train highly employable graduates who are equipped with the required analytical capability, research knowledge, management skills, and professional values to become leaders, researchers and entrepreneurs in their chosen field.
Leadership, communication, teamwork, language and business skills are refined in the high-quality multidisciplinary research environment through our taught and research programmes, workshops, internal and external seminars.
Employability
A PhD indicates a highly qualified researcher, capable of independent analytical thought. It is a highly regarded qualification for those wishing to attain senior management positions in industry, consultancies and public sector organisations and is essential for those interested in pursuing careers in academia.
Our graduates’ trajectories are diverse and many of our alumni have gone on to careers in academic research and teaching as well as UK-based on international government and policy organisations, consultancies and industry.
