About this course

These MSc courses are offered jointly with University College London (UCL). They provide a thorough understanding of the movement of people and goods, and of techniques for analysing transport problems and evaluating measures for resolving them. They prepare students for work in the fields of planning, engineering, operations, policy and research. All of our MSc courses are career-orientated and cover both theoretical background and practical design considerations. Lectures are given mainly by full-time staff but important contributions are made by visiting professors and guest lecturers who are eminent industrialists. Many of our students continue their studies to undertake research towards a PhD.

All applicants must apply online. You can usually apply for up to two courses, although your second choice will only be considered if your first-choice application is unsuccessful. Most courses don't have a formal closing date, but popular courses close when they are full, so you should apply early to avoid disappointment. There may also be funding deadlines that apply to you. You will need to upload documents with your applications, which may include transcripts and degree...
