UCL’s Science and Engineering for Social Change BSc is aimed at ambitious future change-makers. This three-year interdisciplinary degree combines the scientific, engineering, social, and political perspectives needed to solve society’s key challenges. You will graduate with broad interdisciplinary knowledge and practical skills that are highly sought after in business, charity, government, and policy roles.
Scientific and engineering solutions address society’s greatest challenges, but their impact depends on policy frameworks that shape how they are designed, implemented and adopted. Bringing these concepts together produces graduates fit to work in corporate, charity or government roles, who understand scientific and technical principles, and have the policy skills needed to create practical solutions to pressing problems.
This authentic, practice-based degree provides you with technical knowledge along with the research, analytical, and management skills needed to put theory into practice from day one. You’ll identify, define, and solve global, local and individual challenges across subjects ranging from policy design and innovation to engineering design and infrastructure development. In your final year you will choose from either a work placement or a research project which will provide you with the opportunity to apply your knowledge and skills, make valuable industry connections, and prepare for a successful future career.
Central to the course is a systems approach to problem-solving, recognising that today’s societal challenges span disciplines, sectors and stakeholders. You will learn to integrate scientific, engineering and policy perspectives, working collaboratively to analyse complexity, evaluate trade-offs and design effective solutions through teamwork, communication and critical analysis.
Delivered by a university that is globally recognised for its cross-disciplinary approach to addressing challenges including climate change, sustainability and urban resilience, this course will help you become a next generation leader in social change. You will be taught by world-leading academics and industry experts whose shared purpose is to change the world for the better, and you will become an integral part of this transformative community.
