Introduction
Sustainable Mobility Management (MBA)
Since the academic year 2017/2018, the Technical University of Berlin (Technische Universität Berlin) is offering a master’s program on Sustainable Mobility Management on the EUREF Campus in the center of Berlin. The course targets transport engineers, transport and mobility experts, planners, architects, and sustainability project managers who want to gain in-depth, special knowledge in the field of sustainable mobility management.
The growing environmental impact of transport systems, as well as their energy voracity, requires new approaches and new concepts. This MBA offers an integrative design across disciplines, addressing a range of different perspectives. The theory and practice-driven approach gives students both a conceptual understanding and the skills needed to tackle practical problems, covering the needs of strategy development, analysis, and implementation, complex decision making and project management.
Experts
Lecturers are invited from the international community and are experts from universities, national and European authorities, as well as, national and international transport companies.
Advantages & Opportunities
Authorities, businesses and other agencies engaged in transport and mobility must rethink their current strategies. Each urban area faces its own specific set of challenges: congestion, emissions, safety, accessibility and economic implications are only some factors that account for the mobility situation that inhabitants experience. This implies an increased need for broadly educated, skilled managers, capable to frame those issues with social shifts, new technologies, and innovative business models.
TU Berlin's MBA program in “Sustainable Mobility Management” closes the educational gap in this field and prepares students for leadership positions by training people who can deliver cutting-edge and sustainable mobility solutions.
The program’s interdisciplinary content, which covers the social, economic, technical and governance aspects of tomorrow’s sustainable mobility, gives students and future employees a distinctive profile and qualifies them for a leading position in the mobility sector. Learning and studying in small groups of up to 30 students allows individual and excellent learning conditions.
The EUREF-Campus around the Gasometer in Berlin-Schöneberg offers unique and attractive local conditions. Students who are the future energy experts learn in close cooperation with leading enterprises and institutions located on the EUREF-Campus to become acquainted with practical projects in the field of sustainable mobility.
The practical and technical knowledge is further enhanced by various excursions to relevant institutions and transport operators.
At the end of the MBA, potential sectors of employment encompass, but are not limited to, vehicle and sustainable mobility service design; infrastructure or transport service, operations and administration; transport network planning, development, marketing or regulation; auditing or management of sustainable development policy in a company or public and private institutions.
