Course summary

This course equips you with the knowledge and skills to address one of today’s key engineering and sustainability challenges: protecting materials in demanding environments. You will explore both the fundamental science and applied approaches to understanding material degradation, including corrosion, high-temperature damage, and environmentally assisted failure.


You’ll examine technologies used to improve durability, such as surface engineering and sustainable coatings, while considering the environmental impact of material degradation. With the transition to cleaner energy and advanced infrastructure, the role of materials protection is more urgent than ever. For instance, by 2030, replacing corroded steel infrastructure could account for up to 10% of global CO₂ emissions.


The MSc explores real-world applications in sectors such as energy, hydrogen transport, nuclear, and biomedical engineering. Teaching is delivered through a blended model combining lectures, practical sessions, and collaborative projects. Problem-based learning is embedded throughout to build your analytical and professional skills.


You’ll work alongside leading researchers and industry partners, culminating in a research dissertation addressing material durability and sustainability. This course is ideal if you’re looking to contribute to innovative, responsible solutions in materials science and engineering.
