Transport and Mobility Planning - E6016
Master's degree
The Master of Transport and Mobility Planning 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.
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.
Careers
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, contributing to the development of sustainable and efficient transportation systems in cities worldwide.
