Sustainable Transport and Mobility

The MSc in Sustainable Transport & Mobility at Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin) is a two-year part-time postgraduate course, delivered jointly by the School of Architecture, Building and Environment and the School of Transport and Civil Engineering. The programme is multi-disciplinary and delivered by a team drawn from a range of professional backgrounds across TU Dublin, along with experts from industry. The course is designed to be highly engaged, both with industry and civic society, encouraging current best practice and reflectiveness, and to facilitate new research and innovation in the field of transport planning. At the core of the course is the principle of sustainability and how integrated transport and mobility networks can be designed for the wider benefit of society, economy and environment. The course provides learners with both a theoretical and practical framework but also a basis to develop knowledge and to critically reflect on current transport and mobility environments. The aims and objectives of the course include examining the context of enhancing mobility for resilient urban and rural environments and fostering equity and well-being for all. This in turn encapsulates the idea of planning and design for healthy communities and living streets. The course is intended for those who wish to engage in the planning, design, regulation and operation of sustainable transport and mobility networks. While many participants will already be practitioners and/or stakeholders in transport planning, it is a programme aim to bring a more diverse and wider range of skills into the transport planning profession in Ireland and internationally. Therefore it is envisaged that a wide range of backgrounds will be potentially suitable in terms of the appropriate degree and relevant experience.
