Transport Planners play a key role in ensuring that transport systems are efficient and equitable. To do so they need to understand the core principles, techniques and concepts that underpin the discipline. The programme is designed for students from a wide range of backgrounds and equips them for a professional career in transport. It engages with a highly applied and practical subject, which is also academically rigorous and challenging.
Students learn to:
- understand how and why differing transport policies work and the relationship to wider social policy
- analyse different perspectives on transport and their underlying assumptions
- collect, analyse and present transport data
- model the impacts of a range of interventions
- assess future transport demand and its impacts
- design and implement objective-led strategies.
