The faculty’s recognition was one of a number of successes for UCL, in which 9 subject areas ranked in the global top 10, and 4 areas in the top 5 worldwide.
Scoring 95.7 overall, The Bartlett was pipped by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to first place by 2.3 points.
Professor Alan Penn, Dean of The Bartlett, said: “This recognition of the research and teaching within the faculty is a testament to everyone’s hard work at The Bartlett and across UCL. We’re investing to further improve the student experience and with the opening of Here East later this year, The Bartlett continues to be a unique and truly world-leading faculty for built environment study”.
