Course summary The Transport Planning Postgraduate Diploma is a highly practical course that equips practitioners with the technical and critical thinking skills to help shape healthier, safer, more sustainable transport systems and policies. The course can be taken full or part-time, and is designed both for people already working in transport planning and those who are looking to enter the sector. Those who obtain the Diploma have the option of pursuing the MSc in Transport Planning by undertaking a dissertation project. Transport is an integral part of our everyday lives, and a central focus in the world’s fight against climate change, which is why decarbonisation is at the heart of the course. We encourage you to reflect on current practice, challenging the status quo, and to examine why transport policies exist and what it would take for them to change. Taking a holistic view that encompasses social, health, environmental and economic issues, you will learn how to conduct advanced analysis and research in transport policy, planning and management. You will develop your data skills, employing the latest techniques and methods, and using them to evaluate real transport policies and plans.
