Course summary

To complete a postgraduate research programme, you’ll need to be dedicated and passionate about your area of study. But it’ll be well worth it. Being a doctoral student is challenging, yet incredibly rewarding. You are expected to carry out a programme of research in a particular area under the supervision of a primary supervisor and one or more co-supervisors.Infrastructure, just like humans, can’t fight the ravages of ageing. From potholes to corroding steel in bridges, we are all aware of how our built environment doesn’t always perform as it should. Consequently, while it may be the shiny new structures which grab the headlines, about half of the UK’s annual construction budget is spent on repair and maintenance of existing infrastructure. If we want our built environment to deliver effectively for the next 50 to 100 years, we need to ensure that the materials being used are appropriate and will deliver performance for their intended lifespan and beyond.
