The Bartlett launches seven new innovative programmes in 2023

Seven new Bartlett degree programmes are open for applications, with their first student cohorts joining The Bartlett in September 2023. Offering distinct specialisms in response to some of the world’s most pressing issues, these innovative new degrees are united by the radical spirit of UCL. Many of them will be based at the new UCL East campus on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, which marks the biggest development in UCL’s nearly 200-year history.
