Master of Transport and Mobility Planning
Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About this program
Monash's Master of Transport and Mobility Planning tackles the interrelated social, economic and environmental factors driving transport policy, infrastructure and land use decisions in modern cities, combining theoretical coursework with project-based real-world case studies. The course covers multi-modal traffic engineering and management, travel demand modelling, and the economic factors that shape transport infrastructure decisions, alongside a dedicated research methods component that builds the analytical skills needed to evaluate transportation projects rigorously. A strong emphasis on integrating new technology into urban planning reflects how much transport planning has changed with the arrival of ride-sharing, electric vehicles and changing commuting patterns since the pandemic. It suits graduates from planning, engineering, geography or related backgrounds aiming for careers as transportation planners, urban mobility consultants or policy analysts in government or the private sector, particularly those interested in the technology and sustainability dimensions of how cities move people and goods.
