Peru UCL engineers are working with the Peruvian, German and UK governments to develop and implement low carbon transport policies, and are working on a demonstration project in Lima which will show how such policies can improve the quality of life for the whole population.

North and South Poles Researchers from UCL Earth Sciences are working to interpret the data from the European Space Agency’s CryoSat mission, designed to measure the changing thickness of land and sea ice over the Earth’s polar regions and determine how these regions are affected by climate change.

GRADUATE PROSPECTUS 2015/16 ENTRY /

China

Switzerland Scientists at CERN, including members of UCL’s High Energy Physics Group, announced in 2013 that they had found the elusive Higgs Boson. The existence of this subatomic particle, crucial to the formation of the universe, had previously only been theorised.

Research into, and teaching of, Chinese health is carried out by UCL’s China Centre for Health & Humanity, in collaboration with Peking University. The research includes work on the origins and spread of acupuncture and Chinese medical knowledge and its practice around the world.

Japan Lebanon

UCL

Researchers from UCL EPICentre (Earthquake and People Interaction Centre) are working in Japan and other tsunami- and earthquake-prone areas, investigating the effects of tsunami on coastal infrastructure, developing methods of predicting building and infrastructure damage in earthquakes, and using new technologies for disaster relief and mitigation purposes.

The Nutrition in Emergencies Regional Training Initiative (NIERTI) is coordinated by the UCL Institute for Global Health and is a collaboration between academic institutions in Uganda, Thailand and Lebanon. The initiative provides high-quality training in emergency nutrition in the regions most affected by humanitarian disasters.

UCL Qatar Syria Africa A UCL research and training project focused on a diagnostic test for tuberculosis (TB) won the 2013 Times Higher Education International Collaboration of the Year award. TB leads to approximately 1.4 million deaths globally each year. The project – which sets out to improve the speed and accuracy of diagnosis – aims to halt the spread of the infection and significantly reduce the number of deaths.

Gambia While researching infant brain development in rural Gambia, a UCL Medical Physics & Bioengineering team bonded with the local mothers who were participating in their study. Impressed by the enthusiastic response to the study, and moved by the mothers’ efforts to undertake subsistence farming, the UCL team went on to raise funds for a new solar-powered pump which has helped to turn previously barren land into a flourishing farm.

The challenge of studying how internet censorship is practised is being tackled by researchers from UCL Computer Science. Together with INRIA (French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation) and NICTA (Australia), the team are revealing the techniques used in Syria in 2011 to monitor, filter and block traffic from Syrian users, as well as the methods used for censorship evasion.

UCL Australia Congo UCL’s interdisciplinary Extreme Citizen Science (ExCiteS) research group works with indigenous peoples, giving them innovative tools to map areas of importance to them and log any incursions into those areas. This helps to ensure that during the development of policy decisions their voices will be heard.

UCL’S GLOBAL REACH /

A flavour of UCL’s research /

At the very heart of UCL’s mission is our research. We aspire to deliver a culture of wisdom and provide a supportive environment where academic insight can thrive, deepening knowledge and developing solutions to problems worldwide. We encourage academics to work across traditional subject boundaries and have established numerous centres to facilitate cross-disciplinary interaction.

Egypt in 3D UCL’s Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology has launched an interactive online 3D object library, allowing visitors to view the artefacts in the same way as curators. The Arts Council England-funded project, part of a collaboration with UCL Civil, Environmental & Geomatic Engineering and business partner Arius 3D, is the latest in a series of 3D interactive projects from the museum. Powered by cutting-edge photographic 3D imaging and scanning technology, the library allows visitors to rotate and zoom in on the 3D images of artefacts, catching fine details often not visible to the naked eye.

Champagne supernova Students and staff at UCL’s teaching observatory have spotted one of the closest supernovae to Earth in recent decades, at around 12 million light years away. The International Astronomical Union official report on 22 January 2014 confirms that the team were the first to report the new supernova, and gives it the designation SN 2014J. Data collected by astronomers at other observatories around the world suggest that it is a Type 1a supernova, caused by a white dwarf star pulling matter off a larger neighbouring star until the white dwarf becomes unstable and explodes.

GRADUATE PROSPECTUS 2015/16 ENTRY /

House of pain A new study has defined, for the first time, how our ability to identify where it hurts – spatial acuity – varies across the body. The UCL Neuroscience, Physiology & Pharmacology study, which involved specially calibrated lasers creating a pinprick-like pain at various parts of participant’s bodies, produced the first systematic map of how acuity for pain is distributed. The map, which identifies the forehead and fingertips as the sites where spatial acuity is greatest, may enable doctors to monitor nerve damage, offering a quantitative way to see if a condition is getting better or worse.

A fishy tale Research led by archaeologists from UCL, the University of Cambridge and the University of Central Lancashire has traced London’s international fish trade back 800 years to the medieval period. Data from nearly 3,000 cod bones found in excavations in and around London is providing new insight into the globalisation of the capital’s food supply. It has revealed a sudden change in the origin of the fish during the early 13th century, indicating the onset of a large-scale import trade. The Black Death is believed to be the cause of a temporary drop in imports in the late 14th century, whilst a surge around AD 1500 coincides with the beginnings of transatlantic trade and the arrival of cod from Newfoundland.

Gene genius A global map detailing the genetic histories of various populations across the world has been developed by researchers from UCL and the University of Oxford. It reveals the likely genetic impacts of European colonialism, the Arab slave trade, the Mongol Empire and European traders near the Silk Road mixing with people in China. Researchers developed sophisticated statistical methods to analyse the DNA of 1,490 individuals in 95 populations around the world. As well as providing fresh insights into historical events, the new research might have implications for how DNA impacts health and disease in different populations. A FLAVOUR OF UCL’S RESEARCH /

Light relief A genetic tweak can make light work of some nervous disorders. Researchers at the UCL Institute of Neurology have found that using flashes of light to stimulate modified neurons can restore movement to paralysed muscles. ‘Optogenetics’ has been hailed as one of the most significant recent developments in neuroscience and involves genetically modifying neurons so they produce a light-sensitive protein. The protein then makes the neurons ‘fire’, sending an electrical signal when they are exposed to light. This new technique represents a means to restore the function of specific muscles following paralysing neurological injuries or disease and it is hoped that the technique can be developed into treatments for patients with motor neurone disease.

Water proofing UCL and HR Wallingford, a specialist hydraulic research consultancy, are collaborating to construct the largest tsunami simulator in Europe. The facility, funded by a €1.9million European Research Council grant, will be 70m long and 4m wide, enabling the simulation of a tsunami impact on urban areas for the first time. The new generator will also be used to evaluate whether flood and coastal defences are effective against tsunamis, or how they may amplify destructiveness, causing more devastation to areas previously thought to be safe. Once completed, the research will produce engineering guidance which can assist in disaster management worldwide.

09 Eat your greens A study by UCL Epidemiology & Public Health has found that eating seven or more portions of fruit and vegetables a day can dramatically reduce the risk of death. The study suggests that people can reduce the risks of death by cancer and heart disease by 25% and 31% respectively and dying prematurely at any point in time by 42%, compared to eating less than one portion. The findings support the Australian government’s ‘Go for 2 + 5’ guidelines, which recommend eating two portions of fruit and five of vegetables and go on to show that whatever your starting point, it is always worth eating more fruit and vegetables.

Very smart phone A team of UCL Electronic & Electrical Engineering students recently won first prize in the ‘best use of hardware’ category at the NASA 2014 International Space Apps Challenge. Their project, Android Base Station, allows smartphones to become wifi hotspots by connecting to satellites using a 3D-printed robotic arm. The resulting ultra-portable, satellite tracking station has the ability to log the changes of micro-satellites in orbit, and automatically use one offering the cheapest bandwidth – satisfying the judges, who were looking for innovative solutions for global challenges, using publicly available data.

On yer (electric) bike UCL Technology Entrepreneurship MSc graduate, Marcin Piatkowski, has raised £180,000 in investment for his new folding electric bike, Jive Bike. The first of its kind, this Crowdcube-funded project is constructed from aluminium and is chainless, being propelled instead through enclosed drive shafts linked to the pedals. In developing the idea, Marcin won both a £15,000 Bright Ideas Award and a business plan competition organised by UCL Advances which provided him with a further £10,000. UCL Advances also gave Marcin one-to-one business advice. Orders for the bike – which will retail at an anticipated price of £1,500 – have already been taken.

FACULTY OF

ARTS & HUMANITIES /

UCL Arts & Humanities is a renowned centre of excellence where research of world-leading quality feeds directly into programmes of study in areas such as English, Philosophy, Classics, Hebrew and Jewish Studies, Information Studies and over 20 modern European languages. Fine Art is also offered at the UCL Slade School of Fine Art.

Professor Melissa Terras Professor in Digital Humanities

My research focuses on the use of computational techniques to enable research in the arts and humanities that would otherwise be impossible. I’m interested in – and have been involved in – a variety of research areas that span many aspects of Digital Humanities, including imaging ancient and medieval documents, 3D scanning of cultural and heritage materials and an iOS application to deliver text analysis to a wide audience. My work is fundamentally interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary: I’m proud to have joint PhD students with Archaeology, Medical Physics, Computer Science, and Civil, Environmental, and Geomatic Engineering! We aim to explore how computational methods can benefit arts and humanities, heritage and culture, but also how to use various technologies and to report back on what it means to be using these technologies in new ways. It is a relatively new area and a vibrant research field.

MAIN IMAGE: Dr Alexander Samson, Lecturer in Golden Age Literature. His research interests include relations between Spain and England from 1500 to 1640, European festival texts, the Habsburg Empire under Charles V and early colonial history.

Research groups and strengths We take a cross-disciplinary approach to our teaching and research. As well as our constituent departments, some of our key centres and research groups include the Centres for Archives & Records Management Research, Digital Humanities, Early Modern Exchanges, Humanities Interdisciplinary Research Projects, Multidisciplinary & Intercultural Inquiry, Philosophy, Justice & Health, Publishing, Research on the Dynamics of Civilisation and Translation Studies, as well as the Institute of Jewish Studies, Medieval & Renaissance Studies and the Survey of English Usage. We are also a partner institution in the London Arts and Humanities Partnership (LAHP), alongside King’s College London and the School of Advanced Study. LAHP will train up to 400 graduate students in these three universities over seven years, and the training programme will serve approximately 1,300 research students.

A list of taught programmes can be found on pages 38–39 The London advantage Our aim is to enable students to follow their own academic interests and develop both intellectually and personally. This aim is facilitated by our strong links with a range of local institutions. Our departments have agreements with a multitude of institutions including Birkbeck, the British Film Institute, the British Library, the British Museum, the Imperial War Museum, the Institute of Philosophy, the National Gallery, the School of Oriental and African Studies, Tate, publishers such as I.B. Tauris, and a number of embassies.

Global networks The Yale UCL Collaborative provides our PhD students with the opportunity to study at Yale for a defined period of research. We also have a wide range of networks around the world from research collaborations with leading universities such as Peking University, to agreements with business and industry including internship opportunities organised by some of our departments. The global scope of our networks encompasses Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and spans the Americas to China and other parts of Asia.

Key features and facilities Our students have access to excellent libraries (including the Special Collections, a collection of rare manuscripts and archives including the George Orwell Archive, and excellent holdings in Classics, Egyptology and Jewish Studies) and state-of-the-art language learning facilities as well as our vast array of networks across London, the UK and overseas. We are committed to cross-disciplinary research; The Centre for Digital Humanities, for example, draws together teaching from a wide range of disciplines to investigate the application of computational technologies to the arts, humanities and cultural heritage, and we run a joint inaugural lecture series with the Faculty of Social & Historical Sciences and the School of Slavonic & East European Studies. The UCL Slade School of Fine Art has a world-leading reputation; all studio staff are practising artists with significant exhibition profiles, and studio space and facilities have been expanded and enhanced in recent years covering painting, sculpture and fine art media.

Scholarships and funding Faculty-wide funding is offered in the form of Wolfson Scholarships, with further opportunities available through the UCL Doctoral School. In addition, students may apply for scholarships funded through the Arts and Humanities Research Council. Support for a range of studentled conferences, seminars and workshops is provided across both Arts & Humanities and Social & Historical Sciences in the form of the Joint Faculty Institute of Graduate Studies, leading to a wide range of interdisciplinary events, with students encouraged to organise and run their own projects. This creates a rich and diverse opportunity for graduate students to further their research, learning and networking across both faculties; a truly interdisciplinary experience. Funding for research students is also available at faculty level for research projects, conferences and external training.

Employability and skills Not only do our students have access to high-quality teaching across their own subject area and related areas, but they also have the chance to enhance and develop transferable skills – concrete skills that future recruiters look for in their candidates. These skills vary depending on the area you focus on. However, some key ones are: commercial awareness; communication; teamwork; problem-solving; ability to work under pressure and leadership. Our programmes will give you a good base and experience to talk to employers across multiple sectors and your career options are limitless.

BRAIN SCIENCES /

Our vision is to solve the greatest health and wellbeing problems within brain sciences, in order to transform society and reduce the global burden of disease. The Faculty of Brain Sciences brings together a wealth of scientific and clinical expertise and provides recognised world-class education in both taught and research programmes at graduate level.

Professor Sophie Scott Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience

I study the human brain and how it enables us to use our voices for communication – I study how we speak, why we sound the way we do, all the other ways that we express information in our voices, and how our brains decode all of this. I’ve recently been particularly interested in laughter, as it’s a very interesting and ubiquitous emotion which seems to be very important in social interactions. My research is highly interdisciplinary, and I collaborate with physicists, phoneticians and neurologists, as well as clinical psychologists and cognitive scientists. I also work with other kinds of voice experts, such as beat boxers and impressionists. I’d really like to understand our voices and how we can help people whose voices have changed.

Research is conducted across the biological scales from molecules through cells and tissues to whole organisms and animal populations, and the incorporation of the School of Pharmacy has expanded faculty activity in the area of drug discovery and development.

Bijal Patel Biosciences PhD

I study the pharmacology and function of GABAA receptors, which mediate inhibitory neurotransmission in the mammalian central nervous system. These receptors control the excitability of neurons, and dysfunctions in GABAergic neurotransmission are associated with several neurological disorders including epilepsy, stroke, anxiety and autism. Therefore, GABAA receptors represent a major therapeutic target for several neurological conditions. My PhD has focused on identifying compounds that can selectively distinguish between the different GABAA receptor subtypes, with the aim of developing novel treatments with minimal side effects. Moreover, I have developed a deeper understanding of the structure, physiology and general pharmacology of GABAA receptors, which will contribute to our understanding of GABAA receptors in both healthy and diseased states.

Front-line research feeds directly into our teaching programmes, and our students benefit from access to first-class facilities. The faculty offers a range of programmes in emerging as well as more traditional academic areas.

Tom Bartlett CoMPLEX PhD

My PhD at UCL CoMPLEX is highly interdisciplinary, which means that throughout the degree I’ve worked closely with professors in both mathematical and medical sciences, researching topics at the cutting edge of both fields. I’m working on statistical network models, which are basically mathematical descriptions of the patterns which emerge as a result of interactions between discrete entities such as friends on Facebook, or in my research, human genes. Friends on Facebook group together naturally, and so do genes which interact with and influence each other. We’re approaching fundamental and unanswered questions in mathematical statistics, which is interesting in itself, but there are also many wider applications of such work. The application we’re focusing on is the identification of candidate biomarkers, which might ultimately give warning of disease risk or severity, as part of medical screening and diagnosis.

MAIN IMAGE: Solar physicists at the UCL Mullard Space Science Laboratory have studied the behaviour of the Sun’s coronal mass ejections, explaining for the first time the details of how these huge eruptions behave as they fall back towards the Sun’s surface.

Operating through partnerships, particularly with our associated NHS hospitals, the Faculty of Medical Sciences is a centre of excellence across a broad range of experimental medicine areas.

Hashim Ahmed MRC Clinician Scientist and Senior Clinical Lecturer in Urology

Our group is looking how to improve the diagnosis and impact of prostate cancer. The group is composed of a wide range of medical professionals, as well as computer scientists, engineers, clinical trialists, and patients. This broad skill set means we can approach the problem from all angles and deliver research which is relevant to the NHS and the patients being looked after within it. Our research has already changed practice, in that men are now commonly offered an MRI scan before they have a prostate biopsy to diagnose prostate cancer. Prior to our research, the biopsy was done straight away. Our research has also led to improvements in treatment so that many more men now have access to minimally invasive therapies rather than traditional treatments which can carry lots of side-effects.

Research groups and strengths The six divisions that make up the faculty (Cancer Institute, Eastman Dental Institute, Division of Infection & Immunity, Medical School, Division of Medicine, Division of Surgery & Interventional Science) each have a programme of innovative research reflecting our expertise in clinical and translational science. Recent examples of our work include: the development of a bioartificial liver for patients in acute liver failure, the study of dental disease in elite sports people and the proof of concept in prostate cancer of a novel platform therapy. The science behind innovations such as these underpins our graduate training programmes, which are preparing the leaders in clinical research of the future.

A list of taught programmes can be found on page 47–48 Scholarships and funding The London advantage Novel therapeutic approaches are poised to have a significant impact on the treatment of diabetes, cancer, liver disease and many other conditions. London may be regarded as a microcosm of the world and as such provides a unique environment in which to study and research these important medical challenges. Our partnerships with the NHS and Public Health England (PHE) provide an unrivalled resource in terms of patient cohorts and specialist facilities. An example is the new Institute of Immunity & Transplantation at the Royal Free Hospital. Other developments which the faculty are involved with are Stevenage Bioscience Catalyst (a partnership between GSK, UCL and the University of Cambridge) which will provide a supportive environment for pioneering enterprise activities, and the Francis Crick Institute (due to open in 2015), a world-leading centre of biomedical research and innovation.

Global networks Our researchers lead projects and collaborations across the world. As well as the Yale UCL Collaborative, there is an extensive portfolio of research collaborations funded by the US National Institute of Health (NIH) and the EU. We have a global perspective with research programmes in Europe, Africa, South-East and South Asia. UCL Medical School has established a range of international partnerships to deliver expertise in the development of medical education in different countries and cultures.

Key features and facilities Access to modern facilities is a fundamental requirement for graduate students in order to pursue their studies effectively. We have the tools to enable you to follow your ideas, and these are backed up with the technical expertise to ensure you get the most out of your time with us. Although each of our divisions has the resources required for its discipline, our students also have access to the huge resource of expertise and equipment available across UCL as a whole. Equipment is important, but an environment that enables you to learn and explore is what will allow you to develop as a scientist and we provide that environment. Each of our divisions runs an active programme of research seminars, talks and lectures to give you access to the leaders in your field, and also to bring you into regular contact with other students for support and guidance.

The faculty has a number of PhD programmes that attract external funding (e.g. ATTRACT studentships in the area of adoptive cell therapy). Similarly, bursaries are available for some taught programmes. Information about all these funding opportunities can be found on our divisional websites.

Employability and skills Our programmes are designed to provide you with the knowledge and experience gained from a research-intensive university. This will prepare you for a career where an understanding of research methodology will give you an advantage in the future. Naturally, a first destination for our graduates is often an academic or NHS research role, but pharmaceutical companies, clinical trials companies and financial organisations are also common employers. Many of our graduates are on career tracks within the NHS and the programmes we offer reflect this, providing an opportunity to acquire key skills as well as disciplineand research-specific knowledge. Taught programmes are often mapped directly to the training needs of specific professional groups. Whether you are on a career track or still considering your options, we will provide career advice to help you on your way forward.

We seek to deliver outstanding research and teaching for improved human health. The unifying concept that informs our scholarship and educational activity is the life-course. Our research elucidates the biological, behavioural and psychosocial processes operating across an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, and across generations, that affect the development and progression of disease.

Anna David Reader in Obstetrics and Maternal Fetal Medicine

My main research is in translational medicine. I lead the Prenatal Cell and Gene Therapy Group at the UCL Institute for Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health. Our aim is to develop prenatal therapies for life-threatening disorders such as congenital diseases (e.g. thalassaemia) or obstetric complications such as fetal growth restriction. At the same time I am working with ethicists, patients and the public to investigate the safety and ethical issues of such treatments. I collaborate with UCL medical physicists, medical image computing experts and engineers to develop new ways to image and treat the fetus in the womb. My group works closely with the Surgery Unit at the UCL Institute of Child Health to investigate the therapeutic potential of fetal stem cells such as those found in the amniotic fluid and placenta. We are currently setting up the first amniotic fluid stem biobank for therapeutic use.

MAIN IMAGE: Mike Rowson, Principal Teaching Fellow in Global Health. Informed by his previous professional experiences in global health advocacy and NGO management, Mike teaches across a range of policy areas, including global health governance; health systems; the health effects of economic change; and conflict and health.

Research groups and strengths Our institutes together encompass conception, birth, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, older age and death. The Institutes for Women’s Health, of Child Health, Cardiovascular Science, and Epidemiology & Health Care comprehensively address these phases and periods at an individual and population level. The Institutes of Clinical Trials & Methodology, Health Informatics and for Global Health focus on how potential health gains can be realised nationally and internationally. The range of disciplines from which staff are drawn (clinical scientists, epidemiologists, biostatisticians, health social scientists, biologists, geneticists, and allied health professionals), our collaborative approach (working with engineers, lawyers, biotechnologists and economists, among others) and the initiatives in which we are involved all ensure that we provide a supportive, challenging and vibrant institution in which to study.

A list of taught programmes can be found on page 48–49 The London advantage Our central London location delivers huge competitive advantage and academic benefit. Our links to, and involvement with, clinical partners (UCL Partners, Biomedical Research Centres) and leading research and policy-making institutions (MRC, Wellcome Trust, ESRC, National Institute for Health Research, Public Health England, NICE, the Department of Health) are reflected in our involvement in, and leadership of, collaborative research initiatives. Our unparalleled access to high-quality research facilities and academic expertise informs the structure and content of the teaching programmes we offer. We constitute the largest single concentration of population health scientists in any UK medical school. Whilst our academic links provide opportunity, the more immediate impact for every student is the very high calibre and capabilities of the staff we recruit and retain as a result of being a research-led teaching institution. Their involvement in cuttingedge research delivers a unique teaching environment.

and new student hubs provide core facilities, and students normally have access to local common rooms. The faculty is enhancing e-learning provision and delivering student-focused initiatives – for example, a Postgraduate Research Mentoring Scheme and faculty careers events and induction days – to help provide a continuum of support, from prospective student through to successful graduate.

Scholarships and funding Studentships are available annually for specific research areas and programmes identified by funders (e.g. ESRC, MRC, British Heart Foundation), secured as part of individual projects and research proposals (e.g. National Institute for Health Research, Cancer Research UK) and/or available in annual competition to support the best proposals in a given field (Child Health Research Appeal Trust). Scholarships are also secured for taught programmes where funders believe they address specific training and capacity requirements. The nature of the funding, with a relatively fast-changing landscape of funding opportunities, determines that all scholarships are held at institute or programme level and that applicants have to contact institutes directly to secure the most up-to-date information.

Employability and skills We offer a unique environment for cross-disciplinary study, as well as the opportunity to engage with peers and staff with professional experience in many different domains of population health, including health service delivery, research, programme management, health policy and advocacy. As a student, you will benefit from world-class education and training, and graduate with the skills and knowledge sought after by industry, government departments and voluntary and public sector organisations worldwide, as well as leading academic institutions. Institutes within the faculty run alumni and networking events and foster relationships with industry, third sector and governmental organisations, other higher education institutions, partner hospitals and the wider NHS – developing extensive networks that support future success.

Global networks The future health of many communities is intimately bound up with global challenges – climate change, international trade, migration, urbanisation, and population growth. Global challenges require global solutions, so it is unsurprising that we receive research funding not only from the UK, but also from the US National Institute of Health (NIH) and from the EU. UCL’s global health research is increasingly multi-disciplinary, as seen in our Institute for Global Health, and across the faculty, in epidemiology, child health, women’s health and in cardiovascular science. The Institute of Clinical Trials & Methodology has collaborations in more than 80 countries: Population Health at UCL is truly global in its reach and aspiration.

Key features and facilities Our teaching and computing facilities incorporate current technology, and provide audiovisual facilities as well as Lecturecast in many sites. Major refurbishments in laboratories within the Institutes of Child Health and Cardiovascular Science, and investment in non-invasive imaging, high-speed computing and ‘omics’ analysis capabilities, have increased the opportunities for research projects. In addition, there are opportunities for non-laboratory based research in epidemiology and biostatistics, clinical trials, health informatics, psychology, and developmental paediatrics.

SLAVONIC & EAST EUROPEAN STUDIES /

Founded in 1915, the UCL School of Slavonic & East European Studies (SSEES) is one of the world’s leading institutions specialising in Central, Eastern, South-Eastern Europe, Russia and Eurasia. We are uniquely distinguished in our research, teaching and professional activities and offer distinctive programmes in Economics and Business, History, Languages and Culture, and Politics and Sociology.

Bartley Rock SSEES PhD

My PhD uses a case study of the response of a rural province to the Russian famine of 1891–92 to understand how the late Tsarist state functioned. The famine, which killed between 200,000–400,000 people and saw 80 million people receive food aid, was an event that shook the foundations of the state and contributed to the political environment that would lead to the 1917 revolution. The very provinces affected by the famine were seen as chaotic places and backwaters, incapable of either proper government or mounting a proper response to crises. My research challenges this by looking at previously unseen archival material and focusing on key provincial institutions such as the governor, provincial and district councils and village administration. I aim to show that despite being chronically under-resourced, they were proactive, sought to correct structural defects and used the crisis to articulate a strong sense of local initiative and identity.

MAIN IMAGE: Professor Wendy Bracewell, Professor of South-East European History. Her current project is a study of travel polemics: the ways that people – ‘travelees’ – respond to reading foreign travellers’ accounts of their societies.

Research groups and strengths SSEES hosts five interdisciplinary research centres, and leads the inter-university Centre for East European Language Based Area Studies (CEELBAS). We also lead one of the four strands in a 21-strong consortium for a major EU-funded project (ANTICORPP), investigating European responses to the challenge of corruption, with partners in Gothenburg, Berlin and Florence. New Horizons, a programme funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation of New York, is based at SSEES and works on understanding fast-changing developments in the post-Soviet space, and e-conceptualisation of Language-Based Area Studies to facilitate interdisciplinary and transnational research.

A list of taught programmes can be found on page 49 The London advantage We have forged close relationships with a range of institutions in London, including Chatham House, the British Chamber of Commerce, the EBRD (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development), the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the British Library, Transparency International and NGOs including Health Prom and the BEARR Trust – all of which have offered SSEES students and scholars internships or other opportunities for collaboration, and some of which are Associate Partners within the International Master’s programme (IMESS). With our ideal central London location, we have long cultivated successful connections with the London embassies, and regularly co-sponsor events involving leading international figures such as Martti Ahtisaari (2008), Madeleine Albright (2010), Gordon Bajnai (2012) and Slavoj Žižek (2014).

Global networks At the heart of SSEES’s international networks is the SSEES-led IMESS programme, developed from long-standing institutional partnerships with universities in the Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Poland, Russia and Serbia. From this, a formal institutional partnership with the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE, Moscow) emerged in 2011, and resulted in a successful application to the ESRC for a PhD partnership programme between HSE and UCL. Successful collaboration and networking often starts through our many bilateral and multilateral exchange arrangements with partner universities and institutions, and with external sponsors (such as the three-month visiting fellowships we offer, co-funded by the governments of Estonia, Hungary, Poland and Lithuania).

Key features and facilities The SSEES library is one of the leading research libraries in the UK for the study of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Comprising around 400,000 volumes of books, pamphlets and periodicals, the library is unique in the UK for the quantity of research material on open access, its extensive archive, collection of newspapers from the region and unique audio-visual holdings. Students are also offered all the library resources of UCL, including unparalleled access to electronic journals and databases. Research is supported not only by expert supervisors, but also by a great variety of seminar series, conferences, lectures, and workshops. Visitors to SSEES include Central and East European and Russian politicians, top academics from around the world, and writers and intellectuals from all the geographical areas covered by the school.

Scholarships and funding AHRC and ESRC scholarships for MA, MRes, MPhil and PhD study and a range of IMESS studentships are available. In addition, up to six SSEES studentships are awarded annually, covering tuition fees at UK/ EU level. The SSEES Foundation Scholarship is available to prospective MPhil/PhD research students, and the Victor and Rita Swoboda Memorial Scholarship supports a PhD in Ukrainian Studies.

Employability and skills Popular destinations of our recent graduates include government services, international agencies and NGOs, consultancies, the media, teaching, law and corporate training schemes. Examples include: Government Policy Advisor, Finance and Investment Analyst, Social Researcher, Business Risk Analyst, Legal Trainee, and Parliamentary Intern, while others have pursued further study and research. Career planning is part of the study experience, with a huge range of opportunities to enhance employability. Campus and faculty careers sessions with relevant employers, networking with former students, sessions on applications and interviews, and access to internship and placement opportunities are all dedicated to ensuring students are at an advantage in the employment market, by understanding what is important to personal career development and how to show added value in the workplace.

SOCIAL & HISTORICAL SCIENCES /

UCL Social & Historical Sciences encompasses an area of knowledge where science meets the humanities. The interests and methods of our departments, whose research expertise ranges from Archaeology, Anthropology, Geography and the Americas, through to History, History of Art, Economics and Political Science, offer excellent opportunities for innovative and collaborative research.

Professor Mike Parker Pearson Professor of British Later Prehistory

My research in recent years has focused on Stonehenge – why was it built, by whom, and when? Since 2003 I’ve been leading a team of top archaeologists from different universities in the UK to answer these questions. Our many discoveries include a large settlement in its vicinity, a hitherto unknown henge at the end of Stonehenge’s ceremonial avenue, and a natural land form underneath this avenue, coincidentally aligned on the solstice, that we think attracted prehistoric people to this spot. Currently we are researching the sources of the stones for Stonehenge. Whilst the larger ones were probably brought from just 20 miles away, many of the smaller ones came from Pembrokeshire in Wales, a journey of about 180 miles. One theory that we are investigating is the possibility that there was an even earlier ‘Stonehenge’ in Pembrokeshire, and that it was dismantled and brought to Salisbury Plain in an act of unification.

MAIN IMAGE: A new laser 3D scanning instrument, devised by researchers in UCL Geography, can measure the structure and carbon content of forests in the UK and across the tropics. This image shows a test carried out in the UCL Quad, the colours representing the intensity of the reflected laser pulses.

Research groups and strengths Our various departments play a major role in UCL’s growing network of cross-disciplinary research centres. Major interdisciplinary projects are run by the UCL China Centre for Health & Humanity, the Centre for Transnational History, the Institute of the Americas and the UCL Centre for Medieval & Renaissance Studies. A wide range of other centres also cover areas ranging from digital anthropology to migration, and from specialist areas such as climate change, constitutional change and human rights to museum studies and heritage management. We are also a partner institution in the London Arts and Humanities Partnership (LAHP), alongside King’s College London and the School of Advanced Study. LAHP will train up to 400 graduate students in these three universities over seven years and the training programme will serve approximately 1,300 research students.

A list of taught programmes can be found on page 50–51 The London advantage Based in the heart of London, we have strong relationships with a range of industry-specific contacts, businesses, research centres and funding bodies. Special agreements currently exist with the House of Lords, the British Academy, Marie Curie Cancer Care and the Wellcome Trust, along with a number of embassies from Colombia to China and across the Middle East. We are also located close to invaluable resources such as the British Library and British Museum, the Institutes of Historical Research and Classical Studies and the Warburg Institute.

Global networks We offer various opportunities in collaboration with overseas partners. UCL’s School of Public Policy and NYU Wagner have created a unique partnership to offer an innovative one-year Joint Executive Master of Public Administration (EMPA). As part of this partnership, students will spend the first semester at NYU Wagner in New York City and the spring term at UCL in London; the summer is then spent in locations across the globe working on a client-based Capstone Project. The Yale UCL Collaborative provides PhD students with the opportunity to study at Yale for a defined period of research. Alongside this, we have a wide range of academic ties with overseas institutes including expansion in the Middle East through UCL Qatar. UCL Qatar offers graduate degree programmes in Museum Studies, Library and Information Studies, and Archaeology and Conservation, with a significant emphasis on the heritage of the Gulf region and the opportunity to undertake extended placements at museums and heritage sites across the region.

Key features and facilities Our students have access to state-of-the-art computing facilities and a well-equipped Map Room in Geography, on-site collections such as the Ethnography Collection, the Institute of Archaeology Collections and Library, the Petrie Museum of Egyptology and the UCL Art Museum, as well as UCL Library Special Collections. Many departments run specialist seminars, often with high-profile visiting speakers, and we run a joint inaugural lecture series with the Faculty of Arts & Humanities and the School of Slavonic & East European Studies. The methods of learning and teaching within the faculty are varied and diverse; however, all graduate programmes require students to have reached a high level of proficiency in their field. The majority of learning hours are spent in independent study outside the classroom, and teaching provides not only instruction and training, but also facilitates, guides, and engages with each student’s own independent work.

Key Notes for International students

RESEARCH PROGRAMMES

TAUGHT PROGRAMMES

Identify a research area/programme you are interested in; these are listed in the online Prospectus. Check that you meet the entry requirements.

Identify a programme you are interested in; these are listed in this Prospectus and online. Check that you meet the entry requirements for this programme.

International students will have to check international qualification equivalencies, and English language requirements may also apply.

Investigate research opportunities – these can either be speculative, or defined studentships.

Check application deadlines.

SPECULATIVE Many departments welcome speculative research enquiries. Well-qualified candidates should contact relevant academics directly or, in some cases, submit speculative applications. The process varies by department; if you are unsure contact the department first.

To find potential research supervisors, you can search the UCL Graduate Prospectus to help you find relevant academic units; UCL IRIS to find academics relevant to your research interest (www.ucl.ac.uk/iris); and UCL Discovery, UCL’s online research repository, to find papers and authors relevant to you (www.ucl.ac.uk/discovery).

If you identify an academic who is keen to work with you the next stage will be to liaise with them to identify appropriate funding to cover your fees and stipend.

STUDENTSHIPS Studentships are defined research projects packaged with funding. They are predominantly in science, technology, engineering and medical areas, and are advertised throughout the academic year.

As the availability of studentships changes constantly, you should check UCL listings, academic department websites, Doctoral Training Centre websites, and websites such as findaphd.com Studentships funded by the UK Research Councils are usually not available to students from outside the EU. If you are applying for funding from your government check the requirements and deadlines – these can often be earlier than you expect.

Follow the application guidance of the studentship.

SUBMIT APPLICATION DIRECTLY TO UCL.

Use the Applicant Portal to track the progress of your application.

GRADUATE PROSPECTUS 2015/16 ENTRY /

If you intend to apply for scholarships or other forms of funding you should do this at least 12 months before intending to start your studies. In many cases you will need your offer from UCL before you are able to apply for funding, so make sure you plan your application far enough in advance.

If you have any questions please contact the relevant academic unit using the details given at www.ucl.ac.uk/graduate, or contact UCL Admissions: email admissions@ucl.ac.uk or telephone +44 (0)20 7679 7742 +44 (0)20 7679 7381

Disclaimer Every effort has been made to ensure that the information given in this Prospectus is correct at the time of going to press and UCL will use all reasonable efforts to provide the programmes described herein. However, UCL reserves the right, for any reason, without notice at any time to withdraw or vary any degree programme described in the Prospectus and to alter entry requirements, fees, the facilities and/or services described either before or after students enrol. UCL also reserves the right at any time to withdraw or amend the content of any module forming part of a programme. This may be necessary for a variety of reasons, including to allow programmes to keep abreast of the latest developments or discoveries in a discipline. Admission to UCL for any particular programme is granted to the student on the understanding that the programme is liable to change by any such withdrawal or amendment.

If a programme is withdrawn before enrolment, applicants will be given the opportunity to transfer their applications to an appropriate alternative programme at UCL for which they may be qualified. In the unlikely event that a programme is withdrawn from UCL after enrolment, UCL will inform students at the earliest opportunity and will make every effort to ensure that students can complete the programme and receive the award for which they are enrolled. Alternatively, students may be offered the opportunity to transfer to another programme for which they are appropriately qualified. UCL undertakes all reasonable steps to provide educational services. It does not, however, guarantee the provision of such services. Should industrial action or circumstances beyond the control of UCL interfere with its ability to provide educational services, UCL will undertake reasonable steps to minimise the resultant disruption to those educational services.
