Overview

The Learning Environments MSc programme offered at UCL is designed to teach you to apply knowledge from a range of related professional and academic subjects to the development, design, and evaluation of effective and sustainable learning environments (from schools, universities, and traditional teaching facilities, to start-up incubators, community hubs and other informal learning spaces). Successful applicants will explore learning environments from many angles, including policy, economics, real estate and building services, and inclusivity and sustainability perspectives.

You will gain an advanced interdisciplinary knowledge of learning environments, through dialogue with key experts in the field, as well as through live projects and case scenarios.

The MSc offers a variety of routes, to match your own personal and career interests and intentions. This includes a full time one-year and a part time two-year programme. Modules are taught as intensive one-week full time blocks, enabling flexibility for those in employment.

Employability

As the global student population continues to grow and lifelong learning takes new and unexpected forms, international interest in delivering effective, inclusive, and sustainable learning environments does so too. Specialists in this field are increasingly being called on to help define the policies and new technologies that can shift learning space development and typologies; to understand, identify and implement new educational business and delivery models; and to translate changing attitudes to teaching and learning demand into different kinds of environments for learners.

As a result of the interdisciplinary nature of Learning Environments, there are many pathways our graduates can follow, including, for example:

Policymaking
Real estate consulting
The built environment professions
Education and educational leadership
Education support sectors, including technology businesses and educational charities
Education consultancy
Innovation, sustainability and equality, diversity, and inclusivity consultancy.

Normally a minimum of a second-class UK Bachelor’s degree in an appropriate subject, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.

Candidates who hold a professional or other qualification obtained by written examinations and approved by UCL together with at least three years of appropriate professional experience may also be admitted.
