The Bartlett, UCL’s Faculty of the Built Environment, has been recognised as global #1 for Architecture and Built Environment studies in 2025 according to the QS World University Rankings by Subject. We remain #1 in the world for the third year in a row, and #1 in the UK for the 11th consecutive year.
Located across three campuses in London, The Bartlett is the UK’s largest and most multidisciplinary faculty for education and research in the built environment disciplines.
Our ambitious and creative community welcomes over 4,000 students each year across our thirteen schools and institutes, focusing on a broad and diverse range of global challenges. We are united by our mission to build a better, more sustainable world through architecture, planning, construction, sustainable resources, urban design and development, big data and technology, policy, economics, culture and heritage.
Professor Jacqui Glass, Dean of The Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment, said:
I’m so proud to be a part of such a special, diverse and vibrant community at The Bartlett. I would like to share my sincere thanks for the outstanding dedication and support that each of our staff and students contributes to the life of our faculty and the built environment disciplines as a whole. I also recognise the exceptional commitment of our many partners without whom achievements like this would not be possible. It is wonderful to see our work recognised internationally in this year’s QS global ranking and we look forward to another strong and vibrant year ahead.
