MSc Ecology and Urban Engineering

  • DeadlineStudy Details: 1 year - 2 years

Masters Degree Description

Bridge the gap between built environment planning and ecological science. With this valuable master's, you’ll devise new design approaches for cities, towns and infrastructure to help reduce emissions, improve the health of living systems and increase resilience for the climate emergency.

Throughout the programme, you’ll get the chance to put your theoretical learning and project work to the test across UCL’s purpose-built facilities, including the People and Nature Lab at UCL East and the Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment’s Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA).

On a course that’s led by award-winning ecologists and conservation scientists, you’ll work alongside planners, architects, industry professionals and local authorities and communities to deliver real urban projects. 

Entry Requirements

A minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor's degree in life sciences, environmental science, civil engineering, urban design or architecture subject area, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. Applicants with an appropriate professional qualification and relevant work experience (e.g. engineering design, green infrastructure, local government) will be considered.
