This course focuses on the design, engineering and operation of land transport systems, with modules looking in detail at road and railway systems. This MSc is appropriate for students interested in a career in the transport industry. The infrastructure pathway is differentiated through the compulsory study of highway and traffic engineering, and railway engineering and operations. Whilst this pathway is very suitable for engineers; graduates from other disciplines - science, mathematics, planning and geography – would be welcome on this course. Testing is conducted through a combination of unseen written examinations and assessed coursework in the form of problem solving exercises, design exercises, essays, and individual and group projects. Experimental, research and design skills are assessed through laboratory reports, coursework exercises and oral presentations. This course is also accredited by the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT).
