Welcome
The UK Doctoral Training Centre in Energy Demand Reduction and the Built Environment is a collaboration between two of the leading energy research Universities in the UK: University College London (UCL) and Loughborough University (LU). Both have invested heavily in energy research. They lead some of the most important energy demand research initiatives in the UK.
The Centre is the UK champion for postgraduate training to reduce CO2 emissions from the built environment, to secure our energy supply and to provide healthier more affordable buildings.
The Centre is looking to recruit top graduates from engineering, science and related disciplines who are committed to the area of energy demand research. The Centre aims to provide you with the best broadly based and multi-disciplinary, but demanding, training for a research career that the UK can offer in this field.
The Centre offers both fees and stipends to top graduates from engineering, science and related disciplines, and over an 8 year period, it aims to train over 70 students to PhD level.
Further information on the DTC programme can be found here.
