Master of Science - Transport Planning (With Placement Year)

The MSc Transport Planning 180 credits (including postgraduate diploma 120 credits and postgraduate certificate 60 credits) will provide students with both the theoretical grounding and practical skills that they'll need to satisfy the requirements of employers both now and in the future.

Driven by the demand for the delivery of zero carbon interventions, poor air quality and wider social exclusion problems, there is an increasing demand for highly skilled and multi-disciplined professionals within transport planning.  

The climate change imperative has shaken central and local government. It has caused authorities to declare climate emergencies and seek practical solutions to these new and important challenges.

Many have introduced transport policies and invested significant funding for transport programmes. They’re also rethinking how transport is delivered to include projects focused specifically on achieving zero carbon and intelligent transport networks.

So, whether students have an interest in transport planning, or if they're a professional who wants to gain a transport planning qualification, it’s an exciting time to explore transport planning and discover the impact they can have on communities for years to come.

Students will also have the opportunity to explore a range of specialised modules, pathways and learning outcomes.
