Admissions requirements
Applicants should normally have or expect a first or good second class honours degree, or equivalent, in a relevant discipline. Our students come from a wide range of academic backgrounds and some of the relevant disciples other than transport studies are:
Programme | Relevant undergraduate degrees |
|---|---|
MA Transport Economics | Economics (single or joint honours) |
MSc Transport Planning | Geography, town planning, earth & environment, sustainability, logistics, business & management, psychology, natural sciences, social policy, etc. |
MSc (Eng) Transport Planning & Engineering | Engineering, maths, physics, computing and other quantitative subjects |
Other graduates and those with professional qualifications plus experience in the sector will also be considered on a case-by-case basis.
English language
Applicants whose first language is not English must provide evidence of their language proficiency. This is normally in the form of a recent test certificate:
English test | Minimum score required |
|---|---|
IELTS | 6.5 overall |
TOEFL | 580 overall |
TOEFL | 94 overall |
Applicants who have not quite achieved the minimum score may be admitted in certain circumstances. Those achieving an overall IELTS score of 6.0 (or 84 in TOEFL) may be accepted conditionally, on attendance of the University’s 6-week pre-sessional English language course.
