Stream Outline
This specialisation provides students with advanced study options in Transport Engineering. It is designed to develop skills in modelling and analysing transport systems including passenger and freight for different modes of transport including auto, rail, air, maritime and non-motorised. The program provides sufficient knowledge about the science and practice of transport engineering which should required for students moving to industry or staying in the graduate program pursuing their PhD.
Entry Requirements
Students need a recognised four year Bachelor degree in engineering with a minimum 65% average.
NOTE: Minimum 65% average is determined by the UNSW Postgraduate Entry Score Calculator UNSW Postgraduate Entry Score Calculator. Students from a non-211 university in China need a minimum 70% average. For entry details (particularly for South Asian students) please click here.
