[edit] The Bartlett
The Bartlett forms the Faculty of the Built Environment of University College London. The faculty comprises three principal subject areas: Architecture, Project Management for Construction and Urban Planning. Closely linked to the Bartlett School of Graduate Studies is the Centre for Sustainable Heritage and the UCL Energy Institute.
The Bartlett attracts a wide variety of visiting speakers and over the years has played host to key figures from the architectural world, including Bernard Tschumi, Charles Jencks and Neil Denari.
The Bartlett has long rivalled the Architectural Association in London as one of the leading architectural schools in London.
The Bartlett's Planning School makes a further important contribution to the understanding of the built environment. The school offers two undergraduate degrees, one of which is accredited by the Royal Town Planning Institute and the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors. It also offers a wide range of graduate courses.
In 2009, The Architects’ Journal ranked the UCL Bartlett School of Architecture as the best architecture school in the UK – for the sixth consecutive year. In its sixth year of taking first place, the Bartlett increased its lead, garnering over one-third of the total votes cast, and nearly double the proportion of their nearest competitor.
