In an increasingly interconnected world, our award-winning research and teaching is helping to define the future of global transport. We specialise in understanding the whole environment in which transport operates: the vehicles, infrastructure, businesses and logistics as well as the human aspects of operating, managing and using transport.

We develop innovative technologies and business solutions for major international organisations and conduct world-leading research for the European Commission and Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). For example, our Engineering Photonics Centre is the holder of three consecutive, prestigious EPSRC Platform Grants.

Insights from this work inform our teaching, ensuring we deliver a learning experience that is research-led and industry-relevant. Experts from across the transport sector help us deliver inspirational learning experiences for our more than 200 MSc and doctoral students.

Our extensive range of professional development short courses enable people to keep abreast of the latest technological developments and further their management skills. Our customised training programmes run around the world.

Transport Systems students go on to a broad spectrum of successful careers and our alumni operate at the highest levels of transport organisations across the world.
