Master in TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING AND MOBILITY

Transportation Engineering and Mobility is a master's degree taught in English at Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II, based in Napoli, Italy, with a duration of two years. The field is concerned with how people and goods move through cities and regions, covering the planning, design, and management of roads, railways, ports, and public transport systems. Students typically study traffic engineering, transport planning, infrastructure design, and the modelling techniques used to forecast demand and evaluate the performance of transport networks. Coursework often extends into topics such as sustainable and low-emission mobility, intelligent transport systems, logistics, and the policy frameworks that shape how transport infrastructure is funded and regulated. Because mobility touches engineering, economics, and urban planning, students in this field commonly develop both technical design skills and an understanding of how transport decisions affect land use, the environment, and everyday life in cities. Project work and case studies are common, asking students to apply transport modelling and design methods to real or simulated networks. Graduates typically find work with transport authorities, infrastructure and engineering consultancies, logistics and freight companies, and public agencies responsible for planning and operating transport systems. Some pursue further research or doctoral study in transport engineering or urban planning. Studying in Napoli offers a practical setting for transport-related study, given the city's own transport and mobility challenges. Delivered in English, the programme is designed to be accessible to both Italian and international students who want graduate-level training in transportation engineering and the broader question of how mobility is organized and improved.
