Course Summary
The programme is designed to meet the increasing demand for transport professionals with advanced skills in sustainable, integrated and intelligent transportation systems. The programme will provide you with the fundamental and advanced engineering knowledge that a modern transportation engineer needs for planning and managing the complex multi-modal transport system.
The programme is aimed at both the home and overseas market and, in particular, professionals working in the highways, railway, aviation and the wider transportation infrastructure and systems sector or for students who would wish to work in these sectors. The programme is offering not only a natural progression route for engineering graduates who want to enhance their qualifications at the master’s level, but is also be suitable for professional town planners and/ or geography students. The course with industrial placement is offered in full-time mode only. The duration of this course is two academic years (including the industrial placement element).
Our Docklands campus is geographically unique and very inspirational for offering this programme. The core elements, i.e. various transportation modes are all located within very close proximity of the actual delivery of the programme, giving a very unique and bespoke learning and teaching experience to students. We have DLR (railway), City airport (runway), road network (including A13) and the Royal Docks/ Asian Business Port (maritime), all within few minutes of the Docklands campus and working in close partnership with us, offering all our students a unique opportunity to succeed as an industry ready professional.

Mental Wealth/Professional Life skills are embedded in the programme to ensure that graduates are well prepared for existing industries as well as being ready for the Industrial Revolution 4.0 world of tomorrow. The programme is aimed at both the home and overseas market and, in particular, students working in the highways, railway, aviation and the wider transportation infrastructure and systems sector or students who would wish to work in these sectors.
There are 32 London boroughs, the nearby District and County Councils and Transport for London and Consulting Engineers who all have highway and transportation responsibilities. In addition, there are Consulting Engineers who have sections dealing with Highway Design and Transportation so we are not short of market nearby. There is an acknowledged shortage of skilled civil engineers with the right qualifications and experience. We have designed this course to take advantage of this demand and give you a competitive edge when it comes to your career.
