课程特征 Course Features:
The programme is designed for students with a background in economics - it deepens their existing understanding of economic methodologies and applies these to the transport sector. Students learn to use economics to first understand and then address transport issues.
The emphasis is on enabling students to apply techniques to formulate and critically analyse key policy questions, which include:
•What are the true costs of transport and how can they be measured effectively?
•Should users pay directly for their contribution to environmental costs?
•How does the level of taxation influence people’s choice of transport?
•Has road congestion charging been a success and should it be extended?
•What role should the state play in owning and operating public transport?
•Which forms of transport regulation are most effective?
The programme is recognised by all the major professional bodies. It fulfils the educational requirements for membership of CILT and IHT and provides a pathway towards the new Transport Planning Professional qualification. It is also recognised by the relevant Research Councils (EPSRC and ESRC) which fund studentships.
