Course Description:

'' This course has been running successfully for many years and is offered by the Transport Studies Group within the area of the Built Environment.

If you are awarded the MSc you will be allowed full exemption from the examination requirements for Membership of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport.
The aim of the course is to develop your ability to initiate and carry out advanced analysis and research in the fields of transport planning and transport management. This will be done partly through formal lecturing but more especially through group workshops and research for the dissertation.

Teaching and research work are closely linked with externally funded research undertaken by the Transport Studies Group

Course Content
The course is orientated towards problem solving. In other words, you will be taught the techniques and methodologies which you will need in order to take decisions or provide the necessary information for others to take decisions. The course is a balance of theoretical and practical applications.
