Objectives
The PDST covers all major transport issues, from transport policy and system planning to infrastructure design and maintenance, at different spatial scales (from international to local) and for different modes (air, rail, road, etc.). The estimated duration of the programme is 3 to 5 years.
During the first year, students receive advanced training in fundamental topics related to transport systems while preparing a dissertation project. During the remaining time, they develop their doctoral thesis in line with the dissertation project, which is presented and publicly discussed.
On completion of the PDST, students should have acquired the knowledge and skills necessary for a university career in transport, including teaching and research, or for a professional career at a managerial level in both the public and private sectors.
