Transportation Engineering is the application of technology and scientific principles to the planning, functional design, operation, and management of facilities to provide for the safe, efficient, and environmentally compatible movement of people and goods.

Electric transportation systems are emerging worldwide to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. The changes in technology concern the whole transportation system – road transportation, off-road machines, marine vessels and aviation. This programme gives an overview of the technology and business in electric transportation systems. It also focuses on key technologies and skills related to electric transportation, such as electro-mechanical drive trains, power electronics, battery technology and related information technology. Also, indirect electrification methods and e-fuel technologies are considered, and the environmental impacts of different technology solutions are analysed.

The Master in Transportation and Car Design requires creative and technical skills, in order to combine engineering, ergonomics and marketing to develop innovative ideas for transportation. The program covers the entire design process, with study projects in collaboration with leading automotive companies, involving professional designers from top car brands.

This online degree is designed for those in management positions or who desire to progress into management positions. This degree will provide these transportation professionals with the knowledge and skills to become better managers or launch their management careers.

The degree is conferred on the basis of a dissertation and examination on the field of study of the dissertation and/or divisions of the field of study as required by the relevant head of department.

Air transport market has increased considerably involving multidisciplinary constraints and objectives to become a complex system of systems – aircraft design, manufacturing, airlines operations, integrated Air Traffic Management, Airport operations, etc.

Engineers keep our society mobile and our supply chains vital. Consider the increase in self-driving cars or e-commerce: we live in a dynamic logistics machine. Our society demands engineers who are ambitious, creative, analytical and open-minded: those who fully understand the many technological possibilities to make mobility and supply chains cleaner, safer, more reliable, and more efficient than ever before.

Students of the Transport Systems Engineering and Management specialization acquire extended knowledge and skills in the areas of road, railway, and municipal transport systems control and management, optimization and planning of transport systems, transport measurements and forecasting, as well as the design of multimodal transport hubs and traffic modeling and planning these transport systems with the use of modern IT tools.

The master's programme in Vehicle Engineering covers all aspects from vehicle design, functions and dynamic properties, to systems for safety and comfort, and vehicles as part of the transport systems. Students can specialise in Automotive or Railway Engineering. Graduates have global career opportunities and the skills to contribute to innovative and sustainable solutions that minimise the vehicle industry's environmental impact.

Bachelors in Civil Engineering (Transport Constructions) Within the bachelor study program in Civil Engineering, specialization in Transport Construction, the students are trained to apply in the field of transport structures in a wide range of activities in the design, construction, maintenance, and administration of transport structures and constructions (roads, motorways, bridges, urban roads, intersections, stations and industrial trucks, public transport constructions, etc.). In the field of traffic engineering, students focus on building safety elements, elements of traffic control and traffic management, traffic modeling and simulation, etc. Graduates of this specialization may continue in the follow-up master´s degree program in Civil Engineering - Transport Construction.

The master's programme in Railway Engineering covers all aspects of railways from a systems perspective, integrating elements from both mechanical, civil and electrical engineering. It is given together with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Students learn how to design vehicles, infrastructure and control systems that perform optimally together. The importance of the railway in the transition to sustainable transport drives the demand for skilled railway engineers.

At the end of the Master's programme the students will have a sound base of general scientific knowledge in the field of Automotive Engineering. The curriculum encompasses contemporary issues related to the automotive industry including innovative design, materials science, quality, safety, and ecology. The students will be sufficiently equipped and motivated for a life-long qualification in the field of Automotive Engineering. They will be prepared to implement their knowledge and to cooperate within an organisation.

The programme aims to provide students with comprehensive training in the field of Mechanical Engineering in its broadest sense. Thus, there are subjects designed to teach students the basic research tools most commonly used in these areas, and more specific subjects aimed at giving students knowledge more directly linked to their industrial application.

The MSc in Economics and Business with a Specialisation in Urban, Port & Transport Economics State-of-the-art transport, logistics, and modern cities are essential for a well-functioning economy. The Urban, Port, and Transport Economics program focuses on how to optimize these key elements of modern society. Our lecturers are actively involved in the latest developments in international economic research, consultancy, and advice.
