Course Overview

Railway professionals are essential to the development and delivery of plans for significant railway infrastructure investment — and currently, in the UK, we have a shortage, therefore demand is high.

A degree from the Institute for Transport Studies at Leeds opens up a range of opportunities to pursue a rewarding career in this industry. This course will equip you with an extensive specialist skill set, alongside industry experience and the chance to interact directly with industry organisations which could give you the edge with employers.

Upon graduation, you may find employment in a range of roles across the transport industry, such as a policy analyst, economist, strategic operations manager or planner among many others.

Our graduates work across the private and public sectors. Many work abroad, whether for UK companies with overseas offices, for international organisations or for national governments.
