The Bartlett is ranked #1 in the world for the second year

The Bartlett, UCL’s Faculty of the Built Environment, has been recognised for the second year in a row as #1 in the world in the Architecture and Built Environment field, according to the QS World University Rankings by Subject in 2024. We also remain #1 in the UK for the tenth year.

With thirteen schools and institutes across disciplines spanning architecture, planning, construction, urban design and development, energy and resources, economics, policy and heritage, we are the UK’s largest and most multinational hub for built environment education and research.

The Bartlett welcomes over 4,000 students each year across over 90 education courses, and is where the UK’s most ‘World Leading’ and ‘Internationally Excellent’ built environment research is undertaken.

Together, our mission is to tackle some of the most pressing issues for people, communities and the planet, and build a better future for everyone.

Professor Jacqui Glass, Interim Dean of The Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment, said: "This wonderful achievement has been made possible by the continuing efforts of an outstanding community of people who come together at The Bartlett. It is a very welcome recognition of the incredibly diverse and impactful work that our students, educators, researchers and professional staff do – in partnership with peers and partners across many countries around the world."
