Master of Science in Intelligent Transport Planning and Engineering with Industrial Placement University of East London - Docklands Campus, UK

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.

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.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

The course consists of a number of self-contained, taught modules, organised around the various areas of civil engineering. The range of subjects covered includes Mental Wealth: Professional Life, Intelligent Transport Systems, Soil Structure Engineering, and Highway and Railway Engineering.

The programme will enable learners to gain a depth of advanced knowledge, new insights, critical awareness and comprehensive understanding of the most up to date practices and theories in transport planning and engineering. Furthermore, the programme will develop learners' techniques for analysing and solving complex problems including those that may arise in various case studies and/ or real-life traffic, highway, locomotive, maritime and aerospace engineering projects.

The programme is designed to provide learners with a stimulating learning environment for understanding the role of the engineer as an important professional in society by enhancing their skillset to deal with complex and multidisciplinary issues in transport planning, smart mobility and related engineering, both systematically and creatively.

The programme will advance learners' industry readiness through engagement with industry experts and real work experience (for MSc Intelligent Transport Planning route), within the core elements of learning and assessment.
