Skills Learning Outcomes
Masters (Taught) students will have had the opportunity to acquire skills in the following categories as defined in the modules specified for the programme:
1. Technical skills as described in each of the compulsory and optional modules.
2. Work ready skills Problem-solving and analytical skills, communication, time-management, planning and organisation, technical/it skills, team working/collaboration.
3. Academic skills reflection, Critical thinking, academic writing, referencing, academic integrity, information searching, time-management.
4. Digital Skills: Digital communication, collaboration and participation.
5.Sustainability skills: systems thinking, critical thinking, effective communication.
Competence Standards 
1. Demonstrate technical knowledge in the theories and practice of transport planning and engineering, to meet the needs of clients, employers and the public.
2. Apply mathematics and natural science principles to propose effective solutions to a range of transport problems.
3. Critically evaluate new developments in data collection, transport modelling, planning methods and engineering design.
4. Apply a wide range of research skills in undertaking computational and analytical work, with appropriate support where required.
5. Work collaboratively with others in the transport sector and beyond. Evaluate effectiveness of own and team performance with appropriate support as required.
6. Critically evaluate the economic, environmental and societal impacts of solutions in the wider context of engineering including the entire lifecycle of projects.
7. Effectively communicate ideas, problems and solutions effectively with technical and non-technical audiences, in a variety of formats with additional support where required.
The learning outcomes for the programme have been designed in conjunction with the learning outcomes of the modules.
Each module comprises a balance of assessment of understanding of core principles, critique of practice and demonstrably applying the core principles to real-world challenges. A range of traditional (Online Time Limited Assessments, essays) and authentic assessments (e.g., reports) are used.
