Overview

The Master of Science in Rail and Urban Transport programme at TUM Asia is designed to offer interdisciplinary learning that goes beyond traditional engineering, exploring the interdependencies and complexities of transport and railway systems while providing a solid foundation in their core concepts.

Featuring two specialised tracks in rail and transport, the programme presents students with two interconnected yet distinct pathways, equipping them with advanced engineering knowledge from multiple disciplines to address the challenges of the transport landscape. Graduates from either track will be able to exercise critical judgement and leadership, applying their comprehensive knowledge and skills to develop sustainable, accessible, and effective transport systems that take into account key factors such as demographics, geography, economic conditions, and infrastructure.
