About Msc Advanced Materials For Sustainable Infrastructure in Imperial College London

This new Master’s degree aims to train future leaders in the role of materials in resilient and sustainable built infrastructure.

Civil infrastructure is critical to the development of most countries, with the UK Government alone now investing £60bn/year in new infrastructure. Huge volumes of materials are used to construct the buildings, bridges, roads, railways, airports, sea defences, power stations and other vital infrastructure that we need.  

Aimed at engineers and scientists, this degree will provide a deep understanding of the behaviour and characteristics of civil engineering materials, and the ability to develop sustainable designs for construction.

The programme is delivered in a world-leading Civil and Environmental Engineering department and the training and research you undertake will be at the forefront of developments in this area. You will have access to the new world-class Advanced Infrastructure Materials Laboratory, housed in the Department, to carry out innovative research.
