About Transport Economics Msc in University of Leeds

If you are an ambitious numerate graduate, or a practitioner in the field, this Masters will equip you with the analytical skills for a rewarding career supporting transport delivery and policy-making at national, regional and local level.

You'll study transport economics, as well as econometrics and cost-benefit analysis.

• Independent research – opening the gateway to a career in transport research in either academia or consultancy.

This industry-inspired approach will enable you to apply your knowledge to real-world issues in the field.
