EngD projects

Engineering doctorate projects have two aims:

• to produce future leaders in innovative R&D with outstanding academic and industrial perspectives; and
• to generate significant, industry-focused research projects that create a step change in the company's knowledge and capability.

Major EngD thematic clusters include:

• HCP UCL FM Service Improvement and Innovation Programme;
• AEDAS UCL School Building Design and Performance Research Programme;
• Building Performance and Decision Making Research Programme; and
• UCL Sustainable FM Healthcare Programme.
