Master of Science in Urban Transport�
Program Overview
- The programme will help you understand the broad range of stakeholders in city planning and urban transport systems and the connections to other vital sectors in cities such as energy, environment, housing, land use, economic development, and labour markets.
- By the end of the programme you will have a comprehensive understanding of the policies and planning processes to reduce congestion, air pollution, road fatalities and lack of access.
- The focus will be on multiple modes of urban transport – roads, public transport, active transport, emerging shared and intermodal transport - and the use of information technology in transport, enabling you to design highly innovative urban transport solutions in both developed and emerging country contexts.
- The programme will provide you with the theory and methods, as well as practical knowledge to be employed in governmental organisations and private sector consultancies.
- You will gain skills increasingly required by transport professionals, and acquire specialist knowledge and methods to analyse cities and transport using Geographic Information Systems (GIS), statistical and visualisation approaches and other planning software and tools.
- These skills will allow you to develop city and transport plans and policies, conduct environmental and other impact evaluation, and to undertake a wide variety of geographical and market analysis.
- You will benefit from the programme’s strong connection with the Urban Big Data Centre (UBDC), which was funded recently by UK’s Economic and Social Research Council, and with which all academic staff in the MSc are involved. The centre undertakes world-leading research on a variety of topics which are integral to cities, including transport, housing and employment.
- An optional field trip to London will provide you with an insight into the complex socio-economic dynamics of city building and design through visits to high profile real estate, planning and regeneration projects. You will have the opportunity to both meet and speak with senior industry professionals and policy-makers involved in the delivery of major urban developments. Past trips have included visits to The Shard, Olympic Park, Crossrail, Battersea Power Station.
