Overview

This specialisation prepares you for a career in transport economics and network-related fields.

These areas are becoming increasingly important as societies grapple with congestion, infrastructure pressures, and the transition to sustainable mobility and energy. The specialisation teaches you how to analyse large spatial and network datasets and apply economic theory to real-world transport and infrastructure challenges.

The programme allows you to combine courses on Transport and Network Economics to related fields such as Environmental Economics, and Regional and Urban Economics. This broader approach equips you to analyse and influence the economic systems that underpin mobility, accessibility, and infrastructure development.
