Masters in Transport – Institute for Transport Studies
Start your Masters in Transport at the University of Leeds in September 2026. Choose from Sustainability, Transport Planning, Transport Economics, or Engineering pathways. Courses available full- or part-time to suit your schedule, enhancing career prospects in transport and planning.
PhD – EPSRC DLA: Foundation Models for Context‑Aware Perception and User Trust in Autonomous Vehicles on UK Roads
A fully funded PhD project developing multimodal foundation models to improve autonomous vehicle perception under varied road and weather conditions and to study how these affect user trust and perceived safety on UK roads.
PhD – Compliance and Public Attitudes to Lower Urban Speed Limits: Evidence from the Welsh 20 mph Policy
A fully funded PhD project, investigating how public attitudes and behavioural compliance evolve after implementing Wales’s nationwide 20 mph default speed limit, using detailed traffic and survey data to support sustainable transport policy design.
PhD Researcher – Simulating Public Transport Environments
Fully funded PhD to model passenger behaviour and transport system dynamics using sensor data and digital twin simulations, aiming for safer, more resilient, and greener public transport in the UK.
Master’s in Transport
A postgraduate program designed for graduates from business, sustainability, engineering, economics, geography, project management, and related fields. The program prepares students for careers in transport planning, management, and policy.
PhD in Foundation Models for Context-Aware Perception and User Trust in Autonomous Vehicles on UK Roads
Fully funded PhD exploring AI-driven multimodal perception for autonomous vehicles, integrating road conditions, weather, and user trust to improve AV safety and adoption on UK roads.
PhD Scholarship: Modelling Travel Behaviour in a Changing Climate Using Emerging Data Sources
Fully funded PhD project investigating how climate change and extreme weather affect travel behaviour, using emerging mobility, weather, and urban data combined with advanced modelling, AI, and simulation methods to support resilient transport policy.
PhD in Modelling Travel Behaviour in a Changing Climate Using Emerging Data Sources
Fully funded PhD researching how climate change and extreme weather affect travel behaviour, using emerging mobility data and advanced modelling.
PhD Studentship: Second-Hand Electric Vehicle Adoption and Transport Decarbonisation
This PhD at the University of Leeds explores second-hand electric vehicle adoption and its role in transport decarbonisation, using market, vehicle, and survey data to inform policy and support wider EV uptake.
