Key Summary
Introduction
Why Pursue a Master's Degree
This program is a compendium of the railway system as a whole. It provides knowledge about the entire life cycle of the railway system, from its initial project phases, through its construction process to its subsequent maintenance. It also clearly reflects the technological evolution in the railway field, the existing regulations, and the modern means of railway maintenance. Due to its comprehensive nature, this program goes into the different railway subsystems such as infrastructure, superstructure, power, signaling, and telecommunications from both construction and maintenance perspectives, where each technique has its material resources, construction procedures, and specific maintenance. Furthermore, the master’s degree offers the opportunity to focus and specialize in two particularly attractive fields with a high degree of growth, such as high-speed and urban railway systems.
