Master of Science in Railway Operations, Management and Policy
Program Overview
Railways play a key social and economic role throughout the world. However, across the world, railways are coming under increasing pressure to address the ongoing challenges in everything from capacity and congestion to reliability within finite resource budgets and complex industry structures.
Innovation is now perhaps more important than ever. That’s why the need for professionals with tailored skills and knowledge to provide solutions to these challenges has grown – especially in the last few years.
Our Railway Operations, Management and Policy MSc takes a multidisciplinary approach, equipping you with the holistic skill set you’ll need to develop and evaluate solutions to railway problems and make a real contribution to the challenges of our railways worldwide.
Taught by leading researchers with an international reputation, this Masters degree has been designed following close consultation with industry to help prepare you for a rewarding career.
Studying in the Institute of Transport Studies at Leeds will also give you a unique head start in your career in transport. Not only does our world-leading research shape the course, but our close links with large corporations mean you’ll have chance to interact with potential employers and possibly interview for graduate schemes and other vacancies. We also offer opportunities to build your industry work experience before you graduate with work placements and project work throughout your course.
“The railway shouldn’t operate in siloes, so this course will play an important role in bridging the gap between understanding day-to-day operations of the different parts of the complex railway system and the wider social and strategic context that the railway operates within.
Given the certainty of rail reform bringing track and train together, creating better connectivity which drives growth, jobs and housing, this course will help new and existing professionals to excel within the industry.” Sir Peter Hendy, Minister of State for Rail
