Why study transport ? Transport is fundamental to human activity. From its origins, the survival of human-kind has relied on mobility and its prosperity has since been inextricably linked to new modes, systems and technologies for transport across land, sea and sky. The study of transport deepens our understanding of the world we live in, how we interact with it and with each other. But as well as huge benefits, transport has many negative impacts – pollution, congestion, road accidents, inequalities and climate change to name a few. The world’s attention has turned to how these impacts can be mitigated and transport is now at the heart of economic, political, social and environmental agendas. Transport is at the junction of academic disciplines and the challenges facing its use can be addressed from a number of perspectives, which is reflected in our range of degree programmes.
Undergraduate programmes ITS has joined with three other University departments (known as Schools) to offer four undergraduate degree programmes: Programme
Parent School
Environment and Transport Planning
School of Earth and Environment
Geography with Transport Planning
School of Geography
Economics with Transport Studies
Leeds University Business School
Management with Transport Studies
Students are based within their parent School but at least a third of the modules, which are devoted to transport issues, are taught in ITS. Each programme provides the foundation for a career in transport, but without closing-off options for a range of other careers.
4
Programme structure A total of 120 credits are studied in each year of the programme, through modules worth either 10 or 20 credits. Some modules are compulsory to ensure that a comprehensive grounding in core areas is provided, whilst other optional and elective modules can be chosen, which provide flexibility to shape the degree to suit individual interests. A dissertation is completed in the final year, which provides time to research a specific issue in depth. Students must successfully pass the first year and grades in the second and final year determine the degree classification.
The learning experience A variety of teaching methods are used, which include traditional lecture and seminar formats, supported by independent learning. In addition, case studies, workshops, computer exercises, student-led discussions and tutorials are used to provide a greater range of experience. Assessment methods are equally varied and include coursework, presentations, group assignments and exams, which are designed to help show-case individual knowledge and strengthen key skills.
Transferable skills Alongside subject-specific knowledge, students also develop transferable skills to equip them for life after university: Team working Research methods Qualitative and Communication and quantitative analysis presentation Time management

Life in Leeds The years you spend at university will be some of the best years of your life, so where you study can be just as important as the degree you study. The University of Leeds is one of the largest, best equipped and most popular universities in the UK. From origins dating back to 1874 and now with over 30,000 students “Leeds has long been one of the giants of the higher education system" (The Times Good University Guide). The University has a global reputation for the high standard of its teaching and research and is a member of the Russell Group of the country’s most prestigious universities.
Life on campus The University is based on a single campus, within 10 minutes of the city centre. The size of the campus brings many benefits including over 1700 personal computers and a library with nearly 3 million items, together with access to the latest on-line journals and networked databases. However, students are taught within small departments such as ITS, making the experience both friendly and personal. The University provides first class leisure and sports facilities catering for everyone from recreational users to top athletes, including a sports centre, fitness studio and playing fields. The Students’ Union is one of the most active in the country, with a shopping mall, bars, games complex, concert venue, radio station, newspaper, theatre company and award winning nightclub. There are also over two-hundred student societies, including the Transport Society.
Student support You may go through your studies without the need for welfare and support services, but if you do need them there are professionals on hand to help. In addition to your personal tutor there is counselling, a medical centre, chaplaincy, childcare, study skills and joblink to help find part-time work.
Guaranteed accommodation Starting university can be both exciting and challenging. We understand the importance of finding the right living environment to help you settle, study effectively and enjoy
a good social life. A place in university-controlled accommodation is guaranteed for all single first year students who apply by the deadline. Accommodation in Leeds is good value for money, reflecting lower living costs than many other parts of the UK. The University has a wide range of catered and self-catering halls and apartments, but for those who prefer to arrange their own, private sector accommodation is plentiful. www.leeds.ac.uk/accommodation www.unipol.leeds.ac.uk
Leeds the city Voted the country’s most popular student city, Leeds is one of the most vibrant and cosmopolitan places in the UK. Located at the heart of the country, it has a vibrant economy and students who come to Leeds often stay on to live and work in the city. The city centre has over two miles of traffic free shopping, with elegant Victorian arcades and designer shops alongside high street names. Leeds has a lively cultural calendar packed with sports, art, theatre, cinema and music. As well as the major concerts and festivals, the music scene incorporates everything from classical to alternative. Leeds City Art Gallery is adjacent to the internationally famous Henry Moore Institute, and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park and National Media Museum are short journeys away. Leeds is also one of the greenest cities in the UK with many places of beauty and interest for a day out, such as Roundhay Park, Temple Newsome, Harewood House and Kirkstall Abbey. The nightlife in Leeds is known for its diversity. The bars, pubs and clubs offer something for everyone, with the “street cafe culture” and “gigantic club scene” making the city a magnet for students. Leeds enjoys excellent communication and transport links. The city is served by affordable, frequent local transport and has extensive coach and rail connections to the rest of the UK. London and Edinburgh are two-and-a-half hours away by rail and Leeds-Bradford airport connects to Europe and beyond. With over 750,000 people living in the city and all these modes of transport, Leeds also acts as a useful case-study for students. www.leedsliveitloveit.com

BA Environment and Transport Planning (UCAS code: FK84)
Transport issues are a major cause of environmental impact, including congestion and air pollution in cities (health effects, infrastructure damage), intrusive development in rural areas and significant contributions to climate change. This is the only undergraduate programme in the UK which focuses specifically on the environment-transport planning interface. The programme equips students with a balanced understanding of policy and management options for environmentally sound transport planning. The programme is suitable for students with a background in environment, geography, economics, sociology or other social sciences, and with an interest in advancing the way we think about transport and its relationship to the environment.
Students learn to: • understand the complex pressures and opportunities facing transport systems as a result of the contemporary environmental agenda; • critically evaluate the roles and responsibilities of different groups and organisations in the environmenttransport arena; • apply skills in selecting decision options and in utilising management tools and approaches - economic, legal, organisational, impact assessment; • recognise threats to environmentally sustainable transport development and identify possible alternatives; • take an holistic, interdisciplinary perspective and contribute to the on-going critical debate.

BA Geography with Transport Planning (UCAS code: L7N9) For students interested in combining geography with the study of transport, this degree scheme provides a foundation in human geography as a core discipline, plus the opportunity to focus on transport planning and mobility.
On the transport planning side, students are introduced to the fundamental issues, exploring both how transport contributes positively to the quality of life in today's world and the range of problems that it generates for users, planners and policy makers.
Students are first introduced to the breadth and depth of 21st century human geography, before specialising in the following years of study. The programme includes modules covering the broad remit of social geography (the study of geographies of gender, race, citizenship, housing, income, wealth, crime and health), cities and how they function (and how consumers interact with their city environments), development geography and issues relating to poverty, debt, warfare and hostilities, resource depletion, population change and migration, and the importance of location analysis in national and local government services.
Allied to this the main instruments available are investigated - themes covered include road pricing and other measures to manage demand, the design of vehicles and infrastructure to increase safety, fuel efficiency and accessibility, and potential means to encourage greener transport modes. In addition, there is a parallel group of modules that introduce the key skills required in the analysis, interpretation and presentation of data. It is a unique combination with a particular appeal for those interested in the relationship between transport and urban form, land use, planning and mobility.

BA Economics with Transport Studies (UCAS code: L1N9) This programme provides students with a solid foundation in economics but with a particular emphasis on the application of microeconomics to the transport sector. Drawing on economic theory and its applications to the transport sector, the programme develops analytical, quantitative, computing and other transferable skills required by the economist and/or transport specialist, and by employers in the private and public sectors. Students learn to: • understand perspectives of economic theory and apply essential tools of economic analysis; • interpret core concepts and models in micro and macro economics; • identify the economic challenges posed by transport to government, operators, infrastructure and society;
• analyse the instruments available to meet economic policy objectives; • evaluate different approaches to problem solving and apply a range of qualitative and quantitative skills. In addition to economic theory and its application, key issues from the contemporary agenda are addressed: • What role does transport play in wider economic development? • What are the true costs of transport? • What effects does taxation have on transport? • Should users pay directly for the environmental damage they cause? • What is the legacy of transport privatisation and which forms of regulation work best? • What lessons can we learn from other countries and what are the options for the future?

Field work and employability Field work
Study abroad
Field work is a core element of the Environment and Geography programmes. These trips provide a unique opportunity to develop practical skills such as data collection, to prepare for project work and to compare theory with practice. Field work is intensive but rewarding students often find it is one of the most enjoyable and sociable aspects of their degree. Given its importance, for compulsory field trips the cost of travel and accommodation is subsidised. A particular highlight of the Geographers’ second year is the optional field trip to Montpelier (France), Trieste (Italy) or Helsinki (Finland). The programme in Helsinki is specifically designed with transport planners in mind - it examines the city’s approach to urban planning in contrast to the neighbouring city of Espoo, a high technology area best known as the home of Nokia. www.geog.leeds.ac.uk/undergraduate/fieldtrips.html
As an alternative to a year’s work placement, there is the option to spend a year studying in a university overseas. This can be a life-changing opportunity to broaden your studies whilst experiencing the culture of the host country. The Faculty has numerous university exchange partners in Europe and world-wide and there is scope to take a language course before the year abroad commences. www.leeds.ac.uk/studyabroad
Work placements All our programmes include the option of spending a year on an industrial placement. This is an invaluable opportunity to gain practical experience and often includes a competitive salary. Your parent School continues to support you during the year and liaises with the placement provider to ensure that your work contributes to your academic development. Each School has well established links with organisations offering placements and plays an active role in helping you to secure a placement. As an alternative to spending a year in industry, shorter placements or internships are also available. ITS promotes a scheme organised by the Transport Planning Society, where students spend 6-10 weeks over the summer working in organisations such as transport operators, local government or consultancy. As with the longer placements, these can help you decide which career path is right for you, and often lead to a job offer at the end of your studies. www.leeds.ac.uk/workplacementcentre
14
Careers There are countless opportunities to develop a challenging and rewarding career in transport, which suffers from a skills shortage, meaning those with a recognised qualification are ideally placed for employment and rapid career progression. Put simply, the demand for transport graduates exceeds supply - in the most recent survey by the Transport Planning Society, 89% of employers reported difficulty in recruiting. Transport consultancies are the main employer of ITS graduates, but other destinations include central and local government, operators, logistics, engineering, and the not-for-profit sector. ITS has close relationships and an excellent reputation with employers - many of them visit Leeds on recruitment drives each spring, and we can help to arrange an initial interview. Starting salaries in transport reflect the skills shortage and can be higher than other graduate jobs. Although the job prospects for our graduates are excellent, many decide to continue their studies at postgraduate level. All the programmes provide a direct route to a Masters or PhD programme, which opens an even wider range of career possibilities. www.transportationopportunities.org.uk

Funding
The University is committed to ensuring that higher education is accessible to everyone who can benefit. We encourage people from all walks of life to consider university education and recognise the value of a diverse student community.
We recognise that for some students, funding is a barrier to starting university, with both tuition fees and living costs to pay. But a degree can be one of the best investments you’ll ever make, so the University offers a range of financial support to help you through your studies.
This commitment is made real via a range of University and Faculty activities such as volunteers into local schools, HE experience days and the Access to Leeds scheme. www.leeds.ac.uk/ace
Around one-in-four undergraduates automatically receive the Leeds Bursary - this is a grant for UK students and depends on family income. For details and other funding information please see: www.leeds.ac.uk/students/money.htm
Disability Services The University has a well-earned reputation for supporting students with disabilities. Our purpose built Disability Services Centre works with over 900 students to help maximise their potential. If you are considering Leeds and would like to discuss access or support please get in touch: Email: disability@leeds.ac.uk Telephone: 0113 343 3927 Textphone: 0113 343 2616 (Calls via RNID typetalk are welcome) www.equality.leeds.ac.uk
International students We have a long tradition of welcoming international students to Leeds and our courses are enriched by their culture, including their experience of other transport systems. Where English is not the first language, a recognised English language qualification is required. This is typically a recent IELTS or TOEFL test score our admissions staff can advise on the full range of acceptable qualifications and detailed requirements. International students who are not able to gain the equivalent of A’ level qualifications in their own country can access undergraduate programmes via the International Foundation year. This one-year preparation course combines English language skills with academic subjects. www.leeds.ac.uk/international
15
How to apply Applications should be made on-line through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) www.ucas.ac.uk . If you are currently attending school or college, your tutors will be able to guide you through the process. Alternatively there is further guidance on the UCAS website or from dedicated admissions staff in the School of Earth & Environment, School of Geography or Leeds University Business School. Application advice for international students is also available from the British Council website (www.educationuk.org) and from the University’s international representatives www.leeds.ac.uk/international/agentscontacts.htm
Open days Choosing the right course and university is a life changing decision and it is important to research it thoroughly. With this in mind we provide a series of campus-wide Open Days during the year and whether you are considering Leeds or have already applied, these are key events. Each School hosts a range of activities where you can join a campus tour led by current students, visit specific facilities, discuss your course with staff, ask about future careers and attend a ‘taster’ lecture or interactive seminar. Students who have attended an Open Day often say how important it was to their decision of where and what to study. We recognise that not everyone can attend, particularly international students, so we also welcome individual visits to ITS at other times.
