An Environmental Design and Engineering MPhil/PhD gives you the opportunity to develop original research into how buildings, towns and cities shape health, wellbeing, productivity, energy use and climate resilience. Based in UCL Institute for Environmental Design and Engineering, you will work within a multidisciplinary research community addressing the environmental performance of the built environment at building, neighbourhood and urban scales.
Your research can respond to challenges such as healthy buildings, indoor environmental quality, energy use, retrofit, net zero carbon, smart buildings, circular economy, lighting, acoustics, urban climate risk and climate adaptation. Depending on your project, you may use methods such as measurement, monitoring, modelling, building performance simulation, data analytics, machine learning, social research, participatory research and systems thinking.
You will work with supervisors whose expertise spans environmental design, engineering, building physics, health, policy, social science and data-led approaches to the built environment. Through your MPhil/PhD, you will develop an independent research project that contributes evidence, methods or insight to support healthier, more sustainable and better performing built environments.
If your research idea aligns with our research themes, an MPhil/PhD in Environmental Design and Engineering could be the right path for you. Before submitting your formal application, follow the four-step process on our ‘How to apply for an Environmental Design and Engineering MPhil/PhD’ page.
