Teaching and learning

This MPhil/PhD programme, based in UCL's Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction (IRDR), offers a unique opportunity to focus on a research topic of interest while learning from other disciplines across the social sciences, physical sciences, engineering, health and medicine, law, arts and humanities.

Therefore, in addition to their research, there are a number of events and activities throughout the year in which students are expected to participate, such as the annual Spring Academy and PhD Forum.
