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 students with the fundamental and advanced engineering knowledge that a modern transportation engineer needs for planning and managing a 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 offers not only a natural progression route for engineering graduates who want to enhance their qualifications at the master's level but is also suitable for professional town planners and/ or geography students.

The 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.

DLR (railway), City airport (runway), road network (including A13) and the Royal Docks/ Asian Business Port (maritime) are all within a few minutes of the Docklands campus and working in close partnership with the University of East London, offering all students a unique opportunity to succeed as an industry ready professional.
