Transportation engineering Master (MSc)
Become the traffic engineer of the future, design and control transport systems! If you are interested in new transport modes, innovative technologies, and advanced solutions, this is the place for you. Transportation engineering students receive a balanced combination of courses in modeling, IT, operations research, data science, and management.
The aim of the program is to train transportation engineers, who will be able to organize and operate processes of passenger and goods transportation. They will learn how to choose proper measures, how to operate transportation systems, and how to maintain the infrastructure. The graduates can plan, organize, analyze, and control transport processes in an integrated way considering economic, safety, environmental, and human resource aspects. They will be able to deal with tasks of transport administration and authorities, choice and operation of vehicles and facilities, and related infrastructure, control, and IT system elements.
