About the Program

Our Master’s programme in Transportation Economics provides you with scientific methods and tools for understanding, processing and solving imminent transport-related issues. Five specialisations are offered in the degree programme, of which you choose two. In these specialisations, you will gain expertise in transportation economics. These are the five specialisations: Computational Logistics: The course content consists of analytical methods for solving problems and supporting decisions in transport and logistics companies as well as managing transport systems and services. Transport Policy: The course content consists of economic and econometric methods for the analysis of a variety of transport policy issues (e.g. emissions, congestion, noise, and safety) and the design and assessment of adequate transport policy measures. Spatial and Environmental Economics: Contents include economic and econometric methods for analysing the spatial, economic and environmental impact of mobility in cities and regions as well as the evaluation and design of relevant policy interventions to improve the spatial allocation and reduce negative environmental impacts of transport. Statistics: This course deals with methods of multivariate statistics. The theoretical basics as well as the application of the methods to transport and economic data are covered. Data Analytics in Transportation: This course covers methods of data analytics and their application. These methods are relevant for preparing and analysing surveys and experiments and studying structured and unstructured data (Big Data) in the transport sector. You can deepen and expand your knowledge of transport economics by choosing supplementary courses. You can choose not only transport economics modules but also certain economics and transport engineering courses. In addition, you can acquire skills in foreign languages or integrate a vocational internship into your studies. Therefore, the Master's programme provides a high level of flexibility. You can include your ideas, wishes and interests in your studies.
