UK: MSc Sustainability (Transport) at University of Leeds - Institute for Transport Studies (ITS)

Overview

Reflecting the rapidly developing interest in sustainable transport, this innovative postgraduate programme has been designed to equip students for progression to a new range of professional careers.

The programme considers the interactions between the economy, society, the environment and governance. It examines the design, evaluation and implementation of policies across sectors and spatial scales. Students examine emerging drivers for change such as climate change policies and corporate governance initiatives and develop skills to help deliver integrated transport solutions. A choice of module pathways together with a research-based dissertation allows each student to develop a unique skills set, to match their interests and future career.

Careers

The transport sector continues to need people with the right skills and training. Students progress from ITS to a range of graduate-level jobs including those in consultancy, government, transport operators, not-for-profit and international agencies. ITS facilitates this by arranging interviews for students with prospective employers.

Salary: up to £14,999

Programme Duration

The programme is available for full-time study (12 months) or for part-time study (flexible attendance but typically 2-3 years duration). A shorter Postgraduate Diploma or Certificate programme is also available.


Eligible Candidates

Applicants should have a good honours degree in a relevant discipline.

It is not a requirement to have studied transport/sustainability at undergraduate level, but applicants must be able to demonstrate a clear interest. International students are encouraged to apply, subject to competence in English language (IETLS 6.5 or equivalent).

Funding

ITS can advise on funding including the process by which candidates can be nominated by ITS for scholarship competitions. To be eligible for consideration, candidates must first hold an unconditional offer of a place on the programme.
