Normally a minimum of an upper 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 be admitted with a lower second-class UK Bachelor’s degree in an appropriate subject, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.  As the programme is designed to enhance the knowledge base of practitioners in educational policy, and the design, construction and operation of learning facilities, it is useful for candidates to have some knowledge, demonstrable competence, and a skill set related to these aspects of professional practice, in addition to the academic qualification requirements.

Interest internationally in learning environments continues to increase, as the global student population develops exponentially; as changing business models and new technologies are shifting learning space development and typologies; and as changing attitudes to teaching and learning demand different kinds of environments for learners. By exploring these issues in depth, the course increases employment opportunities for:
 

• People experienced in some aspect of education who want more expertise in learning estates and design for physical learning environments
• People from a background in the built environment who are well versed in aspects of real estate, property design and management, and who want to develop an educational specialism.

MSc Learning Environments is designed to teach you to apply knowledge from a range of related professional and academic subjects to the development, design and evaluation of learning environments. Innovative and authentic learning methods help you to develop necessary skills such as cross-disciplinary team-working, professional report and academic writing, and independent study. The research-based curriculum promotes strong research skills, enabling you to evaluate and add to the evidence-base of the learning environments field.
