Overview
This international double master's enables you to complete the requirements of the Monash Master of Transportation Systems as well as the second degree with Southeast University, China.
The course is a response to the growing need for engineers with a broad awareness of the characteristics and significance of transport, including its technological, environmental, economic and social impact. At the same time, the course outlines the state-of-the-art of transport engineering, as it may be applied to the solution of real problems in the planning, design, management and operation of transport facilities.
The course is aimed at giving you a thorough understanding of the nature of transport demand and the role of transport in the modern community, a familiarity with the characteristics of modern transport technology, and the ability to develop, appraise and evaluate solutions to transport problems. To achieve these aims, the development of appropriate analytical skills and practical knowledge is stressed, together with recognition of the role of other disciplines in tackling transport-related issues.

The handbook's description of this structure
This course is structured in two parts: Part A. Advanced expertise and Part B. Transportation systems planning and management.
Part A. Advanced expertise
The Advanced expertise units are taken within the partner degree at Southeast University Suzhou and recorded as block credit for this course.
Part B. Transportation systems planning and management
These studies provide you with an in-depth understanding of transport planning theory and practice. You will learn about planning for sustainable transport, the collection and analysis of transport data, the use of advanced analytic and quantitative techniques for demand forecasting, transport economics and policy.
The course progression map provides guidance on unit enrolment for each semester of study.
The course comprises 72 points structured into two parts: Part A. Advanced expertise (24 points) and Part B.Transportation systems planning and management (48 points).
Units are 6 points unless otherwise stated.
