Our two bio-design Master's degrees integrate biotechnology, advanced computation and fabrication to create a radically new and sustainable built environment.
Our urban habitat today is being fundamentally influenced by revolutions in biotechnology, computation and our exposure to the long-lasting effects of climate change. Bio-Integrated Design takes these life-changing phenomena as the foundation to explore radical, sophisticated, yet also critical, design solutions that will shape our future society. Nature plays a central role in the programme, beyond that of a model or inspiration, it is the medium of a new multi-layered design approach that is biologically, materially and socially integrated.
Taught jointly by UCL's The Bartlett School of Architecture and Biochemical Engineering Department, Bio-Integrated Design brings together a spectrum of multi-disciplinary academics, practitioners and students, combining design experimentation with scientific methods, seeking new modes of simulation and production, and exploring how advances in the fields of synthetic biology, material science and digital fabrication are changing future design practices.
The programme is taught in UCL's cutting-edge facilities at Here East, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park - a space renowned as a hotbed for technological innovation and home to some of the UK's leading performance and design companies. These world-class facilities provide an ideal space for the large-scale construction of installations, as well as for public events.
A minimum of a second-class UK Bachelor’s degree in an appropriate subject or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard. Applicants will also be asked to submit two short pieces of writing. Details on this will be provided once the completed application has been received by the department.

UCL offers a range of financial awards aimed at assisting both prospective and current students with their studies.
Bio-Integrated Design MArch and MSc prepare graduates for practice – innovating within established architectural practices or establishing their own. As an emerging field, the programmes also equip students for further research at PhD level.
The Bartlett School of Architecture is one of the world's top-ranked architecture schools and our graduates enjoy excellent employment opportunities. Students on this programme will have the opportunity to disseminate their work by participating in a number of exhibitions and conferences. Students studying the programme in both the full-time and flexible mode often undertake paid work within or related to the field.
