Sustainable Urban Mobility Transitions (EIT) is an international double degree Master of Science (Technology) programme in urban mobility. It combines a Technical major with an Innovation & Entrepreneurship minor. The programme covers strategic planning for urban areas, data gathering and analysis, urban mobility system dynamics, emerging mobility technologies, behavioural change, and urban and transport appraisal methodologies.
The programme is taught in English and uses contact teaching. It is a double degree programme, so students study at two European universities in two different countries. The second year includes a Master’s thesis worth 30 ECTS credits and a specialisation at one of the partner universities. At Aalto University, students can study travel behavior and emerging mobility technologies, transport system dynamics, integrated planning and policy approaches, land use and participatory planning, and foresight and modeling techniques.
Aalto University describes the programme as a collaboration with EIT Urban Mobility and partner universities in Spain, the Netherlands, Estonia, Portugal and Belgium. Graduates receive two degrees and the Master of Science (Technology) degree provides a foundation for doctoral studies and post-doc positions.
