Transport Systems MSc with (27 Months)

Introduction:

The evolving transport sector presents exciting career opportunities for future engineers. Our MSc will allow you to learn more about how technology is shaping the way we move people and goods in society and apply principles of engineering, design, sustainability and human factors to transport systems.

You will be taught across different disciplines that underpin modern transport systems thinking. You will be able to apply knowledge to real-world problems and hear directly from the industry via talks and visits.

We will be seeking accreditation from the CILT or CIHT for this course.

What you’ll study

You will work in groups during lab exercises for some of the modules and on individual projects, especially during the individual industrial or engineering research project. You can work on (live) projects during all modules as part of training and formative assessment. Below is an overview of the areas you will cover.

• Existing concepts and emerging technologies and proposals across the transport infrastructure, analysing barriers to uptake across different factors, including cost, human factors, regulations and policy.
• The importance of the user within transport, their interaction and experience across different transport systems.
• Transport modelling simulations and analysis.
• Control systems and their effectiveness on transport systems.
