Study content
The Master's degree program in Transportation Management combines relevant content from various disciplines and trains specialists who are qualified for the complex field of sustainable mobility. Karlsruhe offers the best prerequisites for designing the study program in a sustainable way: There are transportation-related departments at the university and company headquarters of important industrial partners in Transportation Management in Karlsruhe or Baden-Württemberg.
In our practice-oriented study program, students work on actual tasks on-site, so that they are active in real life at an early stage. This makes for important contacts, valuable experience, and excellent career prospects. As the Master's program is project-oriented, it is possible to choose topics and subject areas independently and to combine them in such a way that you can adapt the program to your individual interests. For the project modules A, B, and C you can choose between transportation telematics, transportation ecology, traffic safety, public transport, or bicycle traffic.
Transportation Telematics: The project gives you a variety of opportunities to scientifically explore mobility or traffic by means of digital technology. For programming enthusiasts, the project can also include writing small programs or designing user interfaces.
Transportation Ecology: This project deals with a new environmentally relevant topic each year, which is often based on current issues. In the course, you will work on a broad range of topics together with your fellow students, creating new knowledge in a current issue.
Traffic Safety: This project lays the foundations for analysis in traffic safety. The project is structured in three stages, thus different steps of processing accident black spots are worked out in a hands-on way.
Public transport: The project combines public transport with the latest digital technology. For example, the focus here is on the use of openly accessible digital data to make public transport even more attractive.
Bicycle traffic: In the project on bicycle traffic, current real-life issues are addressed and attempts are made to generate new results to promote cycling by jointly developed research approaches.

Research and project orientation
We conduct research in numerous projects to develop application-oriented solutions for sustainable and innovative mobility. This ensures that our teaching has its finger on the pulse of the times and often beyond. We also want to enable students to gain their first research experience and help shape the future by participating in research projects as well as conducting their own student research during their Master's studies. By being involved in current research and development projects of your professors, you as a Master's student will already get your first taste of real research.
The practice-oriented tasks of the individual modules and our interdisciplinary teams create an application-oriented access to knowledge to be used in the fields of practice and research. In addition, with the bicycle laboratory and the laboratory of the Institute of Ubiquitous Mobility Systems, we offer you numerous opportunities to realize your project. We support you with carrying out your thesis abroad or in cooperation with industrial companies. The research-oriented focus of the Master's program also prepares you in the best possible way for an academic career as a doctoral student.
