Overview

Future Infrastructure and Built Environment at University of Cambridge comprises an initial MRes year, followed by a three-year PhD programme.

Continuation on to the PhD is conditional on satisfactory performance in the MRes year.

The course aims to:

provide the core theoretical, experimental and computational research training necessary to lead innovation and change in the area of net zero infrastructure;
equip its graduates with a deep insight into system complexities, resources constraints, barriers to change, and the identification of user needs and stakeholder priorities, enabling them to translate their PhD research into real-world impact, and to work collaboratively with others in order to create and implement viable net zero infrastructure solutions throughout their subsequent professional careers;
provide extensive opportunities for students to collaborate with industry and with the wider academic community, including experiencing industrial input into training, and producing ‘year 1’ outcomes of collaborative implementable actions to address specific short-term user needs;
deliver high relevant inspirational training on RRI, Trusted Research, Environmental Sustainability and EDI;
promote advanced transferable skills through a dedicated programme of training including innovation, entrepreneurship, idea generation, industry engagement and impact, as well as giving students opportunities to engage in outreach to inspire the next generation of net zero champions.

Programme Structure

The MRes course is a mix of core and elective modules (some offered by other departments), group activities, presentations, project reports and an MRes dissertation.
Students will also gain extensive transferable skills and benefit from professional development training, including sessions with professionals, and will participate in an Introduction to Entrepreneurship programme. They will also work in small groups with a CDT industry partner on a mini-project module.
Successful MRes students will then proceed to a three-year programme of supervised doctoral research, during which time they will continue to be supported by the CDT. They will maintain participation in CDT seminars, conferences and outreach activities, and participate in the CDT industry days and events.
