The Master of Transport is Australia’s first interdisciplinary degree focusing on the engineering, urban planning, and business management of transport.
This professional full-time degree is ideal for graduates wanting to pursue a career in the ever-growing global transport sector or professionals already in the field wanting to upskill.
It is designed to develop your critical understanding about the prevalence and identification of transport systems, core capabilities for analysing and designing such systems, and proficiencies in broad interdisciplinary analysis.
The Master of Transport will also further your ability for strategic and logical reasoning, deduction, and network and temporal data analysis. You will also have the benefit of undertaking a practice-based capstone project.
This degree leverages the strengths of the University of Sydney’s Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies which has exceptionally strong links with industry and is recognised by the Australian Government as a centre of excellence in research and education and the ongoing transport engineering research being undertaken by the Faculty of Engineering.
Commonwealth Supported Places
Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) are available for postgraduate study for eligible domestic students. This means that your course fees are subsidised by the Australian Government and you pay a student contribution amount (SCA). CSPs are limited in number and are allocated based on academic merit.
To be eligible for admission, an applicant is required to have:
*A cognate discipline includes business, management, commerce, economics, project management, engineering, physics, geography, architecture or planning.
For qualifications awarded outside Australia, equivalencies and entry requirements are determined based on the country, institution and qualification.
Units completed in the graduate certificate can be credited to the graduate diploma. Students are able to apply to upgrade from the graduate diploma to the master's degree.
Graduates of this program will be suitable for a broad spectrum of careers across the transport industry, leading consulting firms in transport and infrastructure; working in bus, rail and aviation companies as global fleet managers, serving as transport engineers, acting as transport schedulers as well as becoming urban and regional planners.
The University of Sydney is a research intensive institution with a strong track record of technology transfer, industry leadership and commercialisation. Research activities in the faculty focus on a wide range of areas including transport as well as civil engineering , urban planning, logistics and supply chain management, robotics and mechatronic engineering, and complex systems. If you would like to be part of Sydney's engineering, business, or architecture, design and planning research community, you may consider applying for admission to a research degree. Students completing a Master of Transport program with excellent average marks are eligible to undertake supervised research in the degree of Master of Philosophy or Doctor of Philosophy.
