This Masters degree will help equip you with the skills needed to solve the grand challenges of sustainable transport. Taught by researchers at the forefront of the industry, you’ll look at how we can respond to the critical need for decarbonisation, along with ways to tackle urban pollution and enable inclusive mobility. The course also examines the relationships between sustainable transport and economic development, liveable cities, social justice and energy scarcity.
Whatever your background, this Masters degree will ignite your imagination and expand your horizons. You could be a social or political scientist, a geographer, philosopher, law graduate, engineering graduate or science graduate. What’s most important is that you thrive on critical thinking and you have a willingness to move outside disciplinary comfort zones.
