Who is this course for?
New forms of active and electric mobility, autonomous vehicles, climate change impacts, changing community expectations, limited transport network capacity, financially constrained governments… these factors and more pose interrelated challenges and opportunities.
Governments from local to national levels, transport infrastructure and service providers, and urban and economic planning authorities and consultants all require multidisciplinary professionals to rise to these challenges and take advantage of these opportunities.
The Master of Transport and Mobility Planning is for you if:
- You have a degree in engineering, urban or town planning, human geography or another related field and want a competitive edge in the growing field of transport planning
- You joined the transport, mobility and urban planning sector from a different area and want to broaden your knowledge and skills
- You have worked in the sector for some time but want to challenge your knowledge and expand your understanding.

Course overview
This course offers a diverse and well-rounded curriculum combining theoretical foundations with practical applications, designed to equip you with the necessary skills and knowledge to tackle the complex challenges of modern transport and mobility planning. You’ll develop a deep understanding of the interrelationships between social, economic, and environmental factors that drive the need for integrated transport, mobility and urban planning policy, infrastructure, land use and service provision.
The program emphasises the integration of innovation and technology into urban planning to influence positive system change and improve mobility options for city residents and visitors.
By exploring the links between urban land use planning and transport and mobility, you’ll gain an understanding of how those relationships are challenged by emerging trends and technologies. From this you will develop informed solutions to project-based real-world case studies.
You’ll also delve into the realm of travel demand modelling, enabling you to design effective transport strategies and infrastructure.
Careers in transport and mobility planning
As a graduate of the Master of Transport and Mobility Planning program, you’ll be well prepared to pursue and/or further develop your career as an urban transport and mobility planner or consultant, a policy analyst, or a researcher in both the public and private sectors.

Course details
Hear from our graduates
I was motivated to pursue the Master's because it provided the opportunity to explore the multifaceted nature of transport in greater depth while developing specialised knowledge, technical skills, and a strategic perspective. Through the program, I've gained deeper insights into transport planning and modelling, economics, urban planning principles, and areas such as data analysis and policy development. This has broadened my perspective and enhanced my practical skills, which I've already applied in my career."

Master of Transport and Mobility Planning
Lead Precincts Transport Advice,
Department of Transport and Planning
I chose the Masters course at Monash University because I knew that in my chosen area of transport engineering, my undergraduate course had only been able to "scratch the surface" of the range of technical disciplines that underpin and interface with transport engineering. During my masters course, I developed significant new skills in statistics, economic policy, and survey methods, as well as the core technical areas such as transport modelling, transport planning, and transport technology. I have used pretty much all of these in my career in the public sector since then. I would not be as conversant with experts across a range of technical areas without this input.”
Anita Curnow
Director City Infrastructure at Merri-bek City Council
My Monash education has played a huge role in my success as an engineer. It gave me a thirst for knowledge, but also taught me how to seek and find it. No two projects are the same and being able to thoroughly research a topic is so important in our industry."
Keith Midson,
Director at Midson Traffic
The value of the degree was that it gave me a grounding across the breadth of what is a diverse field. I learnt the language and the basic techniques that allow me to collaborate with planners, engineers and the technologists that all contribute to the planning of major projects.”
