Course Structure

The course comprises 48 points structured into two parts: Part A. Transport and mobility study and Part B. Elective study.

Part A. Transport and mobility study

These studies collectively develop creative thinking, conceptualisation, analytical reasoning, design proficiency, collaborative aptitude and evaluative capabilities, all of which are essential for effectively tracking the challenges inherent in transport and mobility planning.

Part B. Elective study

You will have the freedom to select from a broad range of elective units. Depending on your interests, you might delve deeper into sustainable development and behaviour change, public policy reform or environmental analysis, or pursue broader professional development.

Careers

You’ll be well prepared to pursue and/or further develop your career as an urban transport and mobility planner or consultant, a policy analyst, or a researcher in both the public and private sectors, contributing to the development of sustainable and efficient transportation systems in cities worldwide.

Fees

Testimonials

I was motivated to pursue the Master's because it provided the opportunity to explore the multifaceted nature of transport in greater depth while developing specialised knowledge, technical skills, and a strategic perspective. Through the program, I've gained deeper insights into transport planning and modelling, economics, urban planning principles, and areas such as data analysis and policy development. This has broadened my perspective and enhanced my practical skills, which I've already applied in my career.

CASSANDRA MIN Master of Transport and Mobility Planning Lead Precincts Transport Advice, Department of Transport and Planning

I chose the Masters course at Monash University because I knew that in my chosen area of transport engineering, my undergraduate course had only been able to "scratch the surface" of the range of technical disciplines that underpin and interface with transport engineering. During my masters course, I developed significant new skills in statistics, economic policy, and survey methods, as well as the core technical areas such as transport modelling, transport planning, and transport technology. I have used pretty much all of these in my career in the public sector since then. I would not be as conversant with experts across a range of technical areas without this input.
