Shaping our world, together with the School of NBE

About us

Welcome to The School of Natural And Built Environment! Where we are bringing together our well-established disciplines of Architecture, Civil & Structural Engineering, Geography, Planning, Archaeology & Palaeoecology – to study and research the challenges and opportunities in the natural and built environment. You will find in these pages an intense, enthusiastic and positive school, one that is built on rigorous inter-disciplinary teams, acute analysis, in-depth reasoning and creative thinking. The School was brought together in 2016 from the pre-existing Schools of Geography, Archaeology and Paleoecology (GAP) and the School of Planning, Architecture and Civil Engineering (SPACE), with the aim to exploit cross-disciplinary synergies in environment, sustainability, infrastructure, culture, design and heritage. Inter-disciplinary work has developed through 3 cross-disciplinary research clusters, each headed by a Director of Research, as well as investing in existing disciplinary strengths through 5 Heads of Discipline. Numbers of PGR and PGT have also grown over this time: at present there are around 125 PhD students in the School. The School offers undergraduate, joint-honours, taught masters and postgraduate research programmes. All of our disciplines offer professionally accredited programmes: the most recent of these was Archaeology & Palaeoecology, which has now achieved accredited pathway status through the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA) and University Archaeology UK (UAUK). NBE operates as a leading research-led School setting the standard in the field through high-quality teaching and exceptional industry links. Programmes provide a rich learning experience valued by employers, professional organisations and academic institutions.
