Transport Economics (Bachelor)
It is essential to enable mobility to as many people for the lowest cost possible despite resource scarcity and climate protection efforts. The core of the degree program is business and economic knowledge for working on and solving issues of transport and traffic science. Graduates have the ability to make decisions on the economic, political and social levels. More >>>
Transportation Economics (Master, engl. language)
The transportation industry needs experts that can use analytic methods, data analysis, programming and modeling to prepare and take future-oriented decisions. This degree program relies on fundamental knowledge of economics and business administration as well as quantitative methods (mathematics, statistics, econometrics) to prepare students to become these experts. It combines knowledge of traffic and transportation with economic methods. More >>>
Air Transport and Logistics (Master, engl. language)
Growing globalization has meant increased importance of air transport in terms of passenger and freight transport. This degree program combines the operations and planning aspects of air transport with logistics and transport system theory. Through a balance of theory and application, students acquire varied technical, operative, logistical, economic and legal knowledge. Graduates are thus prepared for today’s requirements and future challenges of the aviation industry and are qualified for a range of careers. More >>>
Railway System Engineering (Master)
The endeavor to discourage road traffic and increase rail traffic means that demand for engineers in the rail industry is high. Students enrolled in this degree program acquire the necessary knowledge in engineering and traffic science to understand the complexity of the railroad system and help design it for the future. The Master’s program comprises all aspects of railway engineering, from infrastructure and railroad construction to safety technology and telematics to operation and public transportation. More >>>
Electrical Transportation Systems (Master)
In response to the shift from conventional to electric drives, engineers are in high demand worldwide in the area of electrical transportation. The degree program comprises information about the structure, functionality and fields of application of electric-powered transportation across all modes of transport. The subsystems of power supply and vehicles will be highlighted to the same degree as the peculiarities and challenges of mobile applications. In addition to general engineering methods, the program covers electric-powered transportation as well as project management and transportation company management. More >>>
