Mobility Management
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.

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.
