The Bartlett
The UCL Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment, made up of the schools of Architecture, Construction & Project Management, Graduate Studies, Planning, the Development Planning Unit and the Energy Institute, is devoted to the study and design of the built world. In recent years, teaching and research at the Bartlett have achieved international prominence. The Bartlett is named after its benefactor, the nineteenth-century engineer and construction contractor Sir Herbert Bartlett. British architectural education began at University College London with the appointment of Professor Thomas Donaldson in 1841. Planning education began at the Bartlett with the appointment of Professor SD Adshead in 1914.
The Bartlett School of Architecture is often considered to be the best school of architecture in the UK (the Guardian's University Guide, The Architect's Journal's Survey (AJ 100), etc.). Its undergraduate programme is known to be rigorous, unforgiving and extremely exhausting with a very high number of students deciding to leave. In 2009-2010, over half out to 120 students did not make it past first year and an even smaller number carry on after the first three years.
