Course content

Combining core railway knowledge with project management, our Railway Engineering with Project Management MSc (Eng) will prepare you to construct and operate the world’s most important rail lines.

Considering the global growth in new railway lines, this presents exciting opportunities for graduates. In particular because industry growth has created an acute shortage of skilled railway engineers.

This Masters degree is unique due to its focus on multidisciplinary teaching. The core technical material covers the entire railway system, rather than focusing on an individual engineering area. It is then complemented by engineering management material that is at the forefront of the discipline.

Teaching combines expertise across two of the University of Leeds’s world-leading institutes: the Institute for High Speed Rail and System Integration and the Institute for Transport Studies.

Throughout the programme, you'll be taught by staff who are professionally experienced and have the latest research expertise, equipping you with the practical and professional skills that are sought after in industry.
