What you will study
Molde University College runs this two year master's in English, on campus in Molde. It is a 120 ECTS degree for students who want to work on the analysis and problem-solving side of transport, both in cities and over long distances.
What you study
The programme has two main study options. Urban Transport covers public passenger transport, new micromobility modes such as scooters, and transport economics and policy. Long Distance Transport covers the movement of both people and goods.
Across the degree the teaching and assessment are in English. The programme builds skills in modelling, economics and policy analysis, and applies them to sustainable urban and long distance transport.
How the programme is organised
It is a full-time course of study over two years, starting in autumn 2027. The third semester is where you develop specialist skills: you choose in-depth seminar courses from a range of thirty taught by experts worldwide. The fourth and final semester is the master's thesis, worth 30 ECTS.
The programme page links study plans for several intakes, so you can see how the semesters are laid out before you apply.
