Master of Science [M.Sc] [Biomedical Sciences (Molecular Biology) with Industrial Placement] From University of Aberdeen

This programme will focus on the provision of sustainable and resilient infrastructure in low-middle income countries.

Why should I study this degree at UCL?

Students benefit from UCL's strong links with industry-leading partners in the heart of London, through collaborative projects with businesses, charities and utility companies who work in low-middle income regions such as Water Aid, and renewable energy start-ups such as BBOXX.

UCL Civil, Environmental & Geomatic Engineering is an energetic and exciting department with well-established research projects and networks in the areas of environment engineering, transportation, urban resilience, waste water provision, human settlements and renewable energy in the global context. The programme offersÊa wide range of taught modulesÊthat allow students to pursue their interests, from appropriate technologies and resilience to environmental modelling and GIS.

UCL is also home toÊEngineers Without Borders UCL, the international development organisation's largest UK branch. The programme provides opportunities for students to get hands-on experience inÊinternational development projectsÊwith organisations such as EngineerÕs Without Borders, Global Brigades andÊoptional summer schools in countries such as India, Mexico and Ethiopia.

The MSc provides a clear route to becoming a skilled engineer, actively involved with the challenges facingÊ

low-middle income regions globally.

To understand infrastructure delivery and design processes in resource limited settings and how to mobilise technical expertise to develop solutions in a global context. You will learn how to engage with local stakeholders effectively and how to address engineering challenges in a sustainable way.The wide range of taught modules, including engineering and international development, appropriate technologies, resilience, water and wastewater treatment, urban flooding and drainage, environmental modelling, GIS, natural and environmental disasters, will also provide the opportunity to understand and critically engage with the challenges and ethical dilemmas of working as an engineer in the global context and serving multiple potential clients.
