Overview

To meet the challenges and demands of an increasingly complex land transport system in today’s urban environment, UniSIM in collaboration with the LTA Academy has developed a unique post-graduate programme to equip aspiring professionals with specialized skills and knowledge to enable them to play a lead role in the management and development of land transport systems in cities around the world.

The Master of Science in Urban Transport Management (MSUTM) Programme leverages on the global experience and expertise of senior professionals, scholars and researchers in the transport and related fields:

To provide practising professionals and government officials involved in transport in Singapore and overseas, with a holistic and rigorous grounding in the concepts, principles, techniques, issues and practices in urban transport so that they are well-equipped to play a pivotal role in policy formulation as well as in the planning, implementation, regulation, management and operations of the urban transport system.

To provide graduates from diverse backgrounds with an avenue for acquiring specialized knowledge and skills that will enable them to embark on and/or advance their professional career in the transport and related areas.

This Graduate Programme is the first of its kind in this region.
