About

The Built Environment programme at University of West London offers research expertise in an academic setting which will prepare you to address different aspects of the built environment in depth. 

Overview

Whether you are interested in architectural technologies, construction project management or building surveying, our expert supervisors are on hand to support you.

Our School of Computing and Engineering academics have strong and varied research backgrounds, from investigating the properties of reinforced concrete to looking at road foundations using ground penetrating radar systems; from investigating the impact of future climate change on buildings to looking at decay and cavities in tree trunks using ground penetrating radars - we offer a wealth of research expertise in a broad range of topics.

Study & career progression

Some of our recent graduates took up postdoctoral fellowships or lectureships at UWL and other universities after graduation. Engineering consultancy firms are the second most popular destination, followed by policy-making organisations, such as central governments.
