Reflecting the rapidly developing interest in sustainable transport, this innovative postgraduate programme has been designed to equip students from a variety of backgrounds for progression to a new range of professional careers.
Overview
The programme considers the interactions between the economy, society, the environment and governance. It examines the design, evaluation and implementation of policies across sectors and spatial scales. Students examine emerging drivers for change such as climate change policies and corporate governance initiatives and develop skills to help deliver integrated transport solutions. A choice of module pathways together with a research-based dissertation allows each student to develop a unique skills set, to match their interests and future career.
