Why? – Jobs and Career

What can I do with a transport degree?

Studying traffic means job guarantee! 70 percent of our students have their first permanent job while still studying or directly at the end of their studies. Almost all of our graduates enter attractive career paths after 3 months of job hunting at the latest. Career planning and orientation is already a high priority at TU Dresden's Transport and Traffic Sciences during the studies – with an annual in-house career fair, job portal, alumni association and much more.

Three students and a professor are standing in front of the university building, holding a remote control in their hands and steering a flying drone. The photo inscription reads: "As a transport scientist, I develop new mobility concepts to conserve resources and protect the climate.

Two students sit in front of screens showing transport networks and laugh at each other. One text shows: "As a transport scientist, I calculate economic concepts and advise decision-makers so that transport and mobility remain affordable for everyone."

A student looks over a large railroad field of the railroad operations lab, where several locomotives are parked and trains are running. A caption reads "As a transportation scientist, I automate and digitize traffic so that people and goods arrive quickly, safely and in a way that conserves resources."

A man is riding a road bike. Behind him you can see trees, a building and many parked bicycles. One caption reads, "As a transportation scientist, I redesign places and spaces to make everyone feel comfortable."

A female student and two male students sit on a blanket on a lawn in a circle and look at a paper sketch in the middle. One caption writes: "As a transportation scientist:in, I help shape the future!"
