Engineers are developing new materials that could help replace traditional plastics, and many of them come from nature. In this session, you’ll learn how plant-based materials are transformed into lightweight, super-strong alternatives used in packaging, clean water technologies, and more.

Dr. Kevin De France will take you inside the process, showing how tiny natural building blocks can create big innovations in sustainability and materials science.

How do modern cities build bridges and skyscrapers that stay strong through time, weather, and everyday use? In this Masterclass, Dr. Amir Fam reveals the engineering behind resilient structures; from advanced materials to real testing technologies used to evaluate performance. 

You’ll see how innovations like stronger composites and concrete that repairs small cracks are helping engineers design safer, longer-lasting infrastructure around the world. 

The session will begin with a short overview from our Admissions team. After that, you’ll move into a breakout room tailored to your curriculum. In each breakout room, our presenters will cover key information for international applicants, including:

• Admission requirements
• Transfer credits
• Required documents
• Minimum admission grades
• Supplementary applications (if required)
• Key dates and deadlines

This is a simple and clear way to understand what Queen’s looks for, and what you need to prepare.
