Course summary

Accredited by the Royal Town Planning Institute (Specialist) and the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation, our Transport and Planning (MSc) offers a clear pathway transport and planning careers.



You’ll be equipped with the analytical, technical and policy skills needed to address contemporary transport challenges while gaining a strong understanding of how social, economic, environmental and political contexts influence transport planning.



Ethical, theoretical and practical debates on climate impacts, accessibility, health, equity and inclusion will help you appreciate the wider responsibilities of transport planners and the importance of evidence based, socially aware decision making. You’ll also understand how laws, regulations and national guidance shape practice.



A defining feature of the programme is its emphasis on analytical and modelling competence. You’ll learn how to collect and interpret transport data, understand key transport statistics, and apply a range of methods to analyse travel behaviour and system performance. You’ll work with specialist tools, including GIS, statistical software and strategic modelling platforms, to develop, test and interpret transport scenarios, produce transparent modelling narratives, and generate professional appraisal outputs.



Through direct engagement with industry, you’ll develop critical understanding of transport modelling principles, forecasting approaches and the assumptions that underpin them, enabling you to understand the real world relevance of your classroom learning.



A UK based field study visit provides hands on exposure to applied transport planning, allowing you to observe live projects, engage with practitioners and understand the practicalities of delivering transport solutions in complex urban environments.



By connecting rigorous academic inquiry with real world relevance, the MSc Transport and Planning prepares you to play a meaningful role in transforming transport planning and improving the economic, social, environmental and health outcomes of the places they serve.
