MPhil in Civil Engineering

The research centre will address the topical grand challenges in civil engineering field, building on existing and developing new international collaborations. Financial support to meet these challenges will be acquired through both internal University initiatives (for enhanced infrastructure and facilities) and external funding from government grants, charities and direct industrial support. Research will address the grand challenges of energy, carbon, clean water, infrastructure; exploring extremes and defining new limits. Key research areas include Marine renewable energy, Groundwater and environmental systems, Geotechnics, Intelligent infrastructure and high performance structures and Energy efficient materials.
