Venice, an incomparable architectural and urban model, is also the ideal context to study mobility issues: the main modes of transport, from water to land and air, operate and interact in a single integrated system.
The Master’s degree offers a competitive training in the national context on topics related to mobility and transport: students can benefit from internships in major companies and organisations operating in the sector, study experiences abroad and integrated workshops, an element that distinguishes Iuav educational offer.
The aspects of transport and mobility covered by the programme are diverse and provide a holistic view of the challenges to be faced; other programmes deal with transport-related aspects mainly from a sector-specific point of view (e.g. safety and logistics, vehicle design).
The Master’s degree aims to anticipate the consequences of an ongoing global trend in the field of transport and mobility: the digitalisation and automation of the sector.
They require interaction with increasingly complex tools and a wider range of skills that need appropriate technical training. In response to these challenges, the Master’s degree aims to train the future infrastructure and mobility manager. This role is intended for a professional capable of facing and solving complex challenges in transport planning, design, implementation, management, maintenance, and preservation of (large) transport works and infrastructures.
