Advanced materials for sustainable infrastructure

About the Department

The MSc Advanced Materials for Sustainable Infrastructure was introduced in October 2019, to meet industry demand, and to address skills shortages.  The programme will educate future Engineers wishing to have an in-depth understanding of the behaviour and characteristics of civil engineering materials and the ability to develop sustainable designs for construction. Students will have access to the College’s new world-class  Advanced Infrastructure Materials Laboratory  to perform and observe experimental investigations; allowing them to cement principles introduced in the taught part of the programme. They will also undertake a research project with academics within the UK’s top-rated Civil and Environmental Engineering Department.
