Why study transport ?

Transport is fundamental to human activity. From itsorigins, the survival of human-kind has relied on mobilityand its prosperity has since been inextricably linked to new modes, systems and technologies for transport acrossland, sea and sky. The study of transport deepens ourunderstanding of the world we live in, how we interact with it and with each other.

But as well as huge benefits, transport has many negative impacts – pollution, congestion, road accidents,inequalities and climate change to name a few. The world’s attention has turned to how these impacts can be mitigated and transport is now at the heart ofeconomic, political, social and environmental agendas.

Transport is at the junction of academic disciplines and the challenges facing its use can be addressed from a number of perspectives, which is reflected in our rangeof degree programmes.

Undergraduate programmesITS has joined with three other University departments(known as Schools) to offer four undergraduate degreeprogrammes:

Programme Parent School

Environment and Transport Planning School of Earth and Environment

Geography with Transport Planning School of Geography

Economics with Transport Studies

Management with Transport Studies

Students are based within their parent School but at leasta third of the modules, which are devoted to transportissues, are taught in ITS. Each programme provides thefoundation for a career in transport, but without closing-offoptions for a range of other careers.

Programme structureA total of 120 credits are studied in each year of theprogramme, through modules worth either 10 or 20credits. Some modules are compulsory to ensure that acomprehensive grounding in core areas is provided, whilstother optional and elective modules can be chosen, whichprovide flexibility to shape the degree to suit individualinterests. A dissertation is completed in the final year,which provides time to research a specific issue in depth.Students must successfully pass the first year and gradesin the second and final year determine the degreeclassification.

The learning experienceA variety of teaching methods are used, which includetraditional lecture and seminar formats, supported by independent learning. In addition, case studies,workshops, computer exercises, student-led discussionsand tutorials are used to provide a greater range ofexperience. Assessment methods are equally varied and include coursework, presentations, group assignmentsand exams, which are designed to help show-caseindividual knowledge and strengthen key skills.

Transferable skillsAlongside subject-specific knowledge, students also develop transferable skills to equip them for life after university:

Team working Research methodsQualitative and Communication and quantitative analysis presentation

Time management Information Technology

(UCAS code: L7N9)

For students interested in combining geography with the study of transport, this degree scheme provides afoundation in human geography as a core discipline, plus the opportunity to focus on transport planning and mobility.

Students are first introduced to the breadth and depth of21st century human geography, before specialising in thefollowing years of study. The programme includes modulescovering the broad remit of social geography (the study ofgeographies of gender, race, citizenship, housing, income,wealth, crime and health), cities and how they function(and how consumers interact with their city environments),development geography and issues relating to poverty,debt, warfare and hostilities, resource depletion,population change and migration, and the importance oflocation analysis in national and local government services.

On the transport planning side, students are introduced tothe fundamental issues, exploring both how transportcontributes positively to the quality of life in today's world and the range of problems that it generates for users, planners and policy makers.

Allied to this the main instruments available areinvestigated - themes covered include road pricing andother measures to manage demand, the design of vehiclesand infrastructure to increase safety, fuel efficiency andaccessibility, and potential means to encourage greenertransport modes. In addition, there is a parallel group ofmodules that introduce the key skills required in theanalysis, interpretation and presentation of data. It is aunique combination with a particular appeal for thoseinterested in the relationship between transport and urban form, land use, planning and mobility.

Field workField work is a core element of the Environment andGeography programmes. These trips provide a uniqueopportunity to develop practical skills such as datacollection, to prepare for project work and to compare theory with practice. Field work is intensive but rewarding -students often find it is one of the most enjoyable andsociable aspects of their degree. Given its importance, for compulsory field trips the cost of travel andaccommodation is subsidised. A particular highlight of theGeographers’ second year is the optional field trip toMontpelier (France), Trieste (Italy) or Helsinki (Finland).The programme in Helsinki is specifically designed withtransport planners in mind - it examines the city’sapproach to urban planning in contrast to the neighbouringcity of Espoo, a high technology area best known as thehome of Nokia.www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/undergraduate/fieldtrips.html

Work placementsAll our programmes include the option of spending a year on an industrial placement. This is an invaluableopportunity to gain practical experience and often includesa competitive salary. Your parent School continues tosupport you during the year and liaises with the placementprovider to ensure that your work contributes to youracademic development. Each School has well establishedlinks with organisations offering placements and plays anactive role in helping you to secure a placement. As an alternative to spending a year in industry, shorterplacements or internships are also available. ITS promotesa scheme organised by the Transport Planning Society,where students spend 6-10 weeks over the summerworking in organisations such as transport operators, local government or consultancy. As with the longerplacements, these can help you decide which career path is right for you, and often lead to a job offer at the end of your studies.www.leeds.ac.uk/workplacementcentre

Study abroadAs an alternative to a year’s work placement, there is theoption to spend a year studying in a university overseas.This can be a life-changing opportunity to broaden yourstudies whilst experiencing the culture of the host country.The Faculty has numerous university exchange partners inEurope and world-wide and there is scope to take alanguage course before the year abroad commences.www.leeds.ac.uk/studyabroad

Careers There are countless opportunities to develop a challengingand rewarding career in transport, which suffers from a skills shortage, meaning those with a recognisedqualification are ideally placed for employment and rapid career progression. Put simply, the demand fortransport graduates exceeds supply - in the most recentsurvey by the Transport Planning Society, 89% ofemployers reported difficulty in recruiting.

Transport consultancies are the main employer of ITSgraduates, but other destinations include central and localgovernment, operators, logistics, engineering, and the not-for-profit sector. ITS has close relationships and anexcellent reputation with employers - many of them visitLeeds on recruitment drives each spring, and we can helpto arrange an initial interview. Starting salaries in transportreflect the skills shortage and can be higher than othergraduate jobs.

Although the job prospects for our graduates are excellent,many decide to continue their studies at postgraduatelevel. All the programmes provide a direct route to aMasters or PhD programme, which opens an even widerrange of career possibilities. www.transportationopportunities.org.uk
