Study and Research
Our UCL East campus brings together expertise from our existing UCL faculties to form new schools and centres - from architectural design to robotics, media to art and technology, heritage to engineering and advanced propulsion - building on our existing presence in east London nearby at Here East.
All courses at UCL East are either cross-disciplinary or interdisciplinary, designed by academics from different departments, together with industry, partners and practitioners. Innovation and collaboration are designed in, with students and staff working in shared environments and learning by doing, whatever their individual specialism.
Many of these courses are among the first of their kind in the world giving our students a unique learning experience.
