Our MPhil/PhD Architectural History & Theory programme allows students to conduct an exhaustive piece of research into an area of their own selection and definition. Great importance is placed on the originality of information uncovered, the creativity of the interpretations made and the rigour of the methodological procedures adopted. Approximately 25-30 students from around the world are enrolled at any one time for MPhil/PhD research in this field. The range of research topics undertaken is broad, but most explore the history and theory of architecture and cities from c.1800 to the present day, with an emphasis on the critical reading of these subjects from cultural, political and experiential viewpoints. The programme draws on the expertise and experience of The Bartlett School of Architecture’s team of architectural historians and theorists, who are recognised internationally for their contributions to the field. The programme itself is highly dynamic, with an active series of talks, seminars and conferences which students are expected to attend. In keeping with UCL’s multidisciplinary ethos, connections between architectural research and other fields are encouraged, and there are active collaborations with the Departments of Anthropology, Fine Art and Geography, and with UCL Urban Lab.
