A Master of Science (MSc) is a graduate-level degree. It is research-focused and typically requires the completion of a thesis. Most MSc programs require applicants to have an undergraduate degree to qualify.

What is an MSc in Sustainable Infrastructure? It is the study of the infrastructure needed to provide water, sanitation, transportation, energy and information that sustains a population. Rapid population growth is putting a strain on available and vulnerable resources, so students study the importance of infrastructure as more people enter the world. Typically, a wide range of specialization is allowed. Areas of focus may include sustainable roads, construction engineering, and engineering in developing countries. Students are provided with tools to help solve future urbanization problems internationally, and courses often focus on project finances, green architecture, building energy systems, water supply, and smart electrical grids.

Students learn to research and apply knowledge and understanding to complex multidimensional problems. Graduates may also develop skills in communication, allowing them to clearly express ideas in a range of forms to a variety of audiences.

The cost of tuition for a master’s degree in sustainable infrastructure depends on several different factors. The location of the university as well as the program offered can affect the overall price. Call your school of choice for more information.

Sustainable infrastructure graduates may find fulfilling careers as city planners, designers and builders of roads and bridges, or developers of sustainable energy solutions. Students are typically prepared for professional careers in systems planning, design, engineering, and managing sustainable buildings and infrastructure to increase their economic value lifecycle, their overall contribution to environmental functions and services, and their social value.
