Overview

Sustainable Heritage is a field that has quickly gained recognition and value in the worlds of management, hard science and industry.

Research is at the core of the UCL Institute for Sustainable Heritage. The Sustainable Heritage programme at University College London (UCL) bridges physical and natural sciences, social science, arts, and humanities, combining multidisciplinary expertise to deliver sustainable solutions to real-world problems concerning heritage.

As a member of the UCL Institute for Sustainable Heritage, you will be a part of a diverse and passionate doctoral cohort, and also participate in our programme of Institute research seminars. More widely within UCL, you will have access to an impressive range of self-taught and guided training programmes and activities offered by the Doctoral School.

Other requirements

General requirements

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.
