Master Urban, Port and Transport Economics

State-of-the-art transport, logistics, and modern cities are essential for a well-functioning economy. The Urban, Port and Transport Economics programme focuses on optimizing these key elements of modern society. Our lecturers are actively involved in the latest developments in international economic research, consultancy, and advisory services.

Through interactive lectures, challenging assignments, and lively debates, they will demonstrate how to apply appropriate methods—both qualitative and quantitative—when addressing a wide range of real-life issues. How can we find smart ways to tackle congestion and pollution? How can operations be sustained during major disruptions? What role can city planning play in achieving productive collaboration between all available sources of knowledge and enterprise? What is the future of ports in the logistics chain?

Our curriculum closely aligns with several sustainable development goals, addressing questions such as: How can cities become sustainable? How can we build resilient and sustainable infrastructure? How do we initiate the energy transition? The study of Urban, Port and Transport Economics equips you to approach these critical issues with a perspective that is both scientific and practical.
