The course draws on UCL’s globally recognised expertise in both transport and public health, and those completing the Masters will be equipped with the skills to generate, design and implement policies that exploit the positive links between the two areas. 

The four core course modules take the student from the identification of problems and opportunities, through the generation and appraisal of responses, to championing and delivering policies in the real world.  The course content and teaching methods take proper account of the need for “hard” and “soft” skills so, for example, students will learn both how to analyse large data sets and how to lead multi-disciplinary teams in policy delivery.  During the course, students will learn the latest evidence on the role of sustainable transport and its promotion, on increasing safe mobility and on the transport impacts of health policies such as the location of facilities.  At all times the focus will be on harnessing the potential for transport and health policies to support one another and on preventing them from undermining each other.

As the course structure uses distance learning extensively, it will suit busy people and those far from London.

Details on the course are on its webpage and information on entry requirements, fees, application procedures and possible funding are on the UCL Prospectus website.  Anyone with questions about the course should contact the Programme Director Dr Catherine Holloway.
