Science and Engineering for Social Change

Science and engineering offer the answers to many of society’s challenges, while policy identifies and responds to these most complex global issues. Bringing these concepts together produces graduates fit to work in corporate, charity, or government roles, who understand scientific and technical principles, and have the policy skills needed to create practical solutions to pressing problems.

Delivered by UCL — a university that is globally recognised for its cross-disciplinary and real-world expertise — this programme supports you to become a next generation leader in social change. You will be taught by top academics and industry experts whose shared purpose is to change the world for the better. You will become an integral part of our transformative community.

This authentic, hands-on programme puts theory into practice from day one of your degree. We will equip you with technical knowledge along with the research, analytical, and management skills needed to address global, local, and individual challenges.

You’ll learn to identify, define, and solve real-world problems, supported by the principle that better policies are created when a broad diversity of thought and experience feeds into them.

You will study subjects ranging from policy design and project management to innovation, engineering design, and infrastructure development. A work placement or project in your third year will provide the opportunity to apply your knowledge and skills, make valuable industry connections, and prepare for a successful future career.
