At the UCL Institute for Sustainable Heritage we are training the heritage leaders of the future. Sustainable heritage studies the management, science and conservation of heritage as well as exploring how heritage can be a catalyst for social, economic, cultural, and environmental sustainable development. We deliver sustainable solutions to real-world heritage problems, working with external partners on ground-breaking, cross-disciplinary research and innovative teaching.
Research is at the core of the UCL Institute for Sustainable Heritage. Our work bridges physical and natural sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities, combining transdisciplinary expertise to deliver sustainable solutions to real-world heritage problems. Our staff have a diverse range of research expertise which falls into three main areas: heritage management, heritage science, and heritage policy. You can read more about our research on our website.
As an MPhil/PhD student with us, you will undertake your own original sustainable heritage research, culminating in an MPhil or PhD thesis. 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 monthly 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.
Through undertaking a research degree, our PhD students demonstrate the capacity to organise, carry out and communicate a substantial piece of research, presented in a thesis that demonstrates academic rigour and originality.
