Program Overview

The Master's in Transport Economics and Management is a professional academic program that responds to real and growing needs imposed by the developmental and service-oriented realities of the transport sector in its various forms (land, air, maritime, and urban), particularly in light of the increasing challenges facing this sector in developing countries. The program aims to train highly qualified professionals capable of understanding transport dynamics, analyzing its issues, and proposing effective and sustainable solutions. This is achieved by combining rigorous theoretical education with applied training in real-world professional environments, with a focus on the economic, regulatory, and technical dimensions of this vital sector.

Delivered under the LMD (License-Master-Doctorate) system, the program spans two years (four semesters) and focuses on developing the analytical and practical skills required for planning transport networks, managing services, analyzing costs, and evaluating public policies related to transport. The program incorporates advanced learning tools such as economic modeling and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to equip students with a scientific and practical methodology for addressing complex transport issues.

This training prepares graduates for professional integration in public and private transport institutions, local and municipal administrations, and consulting or research offices, and also opens the path to further academic pursuits at the doctoral level—whether professional or research-based.
