Course summary
This course develops your ability to initiate and implement advanced analysis and research in transport policy, planning and management. You'll learn the techniques and methodologies you need to take decisions, or to provide the necessary information for others to take policy decisions. This MSc course has been running successfully since 1970. The course is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT). This course is also approved by the TPP Professional Standards Committee as meeting the educational requirements for the Transport Planning Professional (TPP) qualification. This course will enable you to understand the causes and motivations of personal travel and goods movement; to analyse transport problems and develop, and implement policies and measures for resolving such problems; to evaluate transport projects, plans and policies, taking into account the need for stakeholder participation and recognising the political, social, health, environmental and economic issues involved.
