ONE YEAR MASTER OF RESEARCH IN THE BUILT
ENVIRONMENT
Are you interested in helping to solve the problems of our cities?
This programme of study is designed to help you develop the skills
in research and development necessary to work with consultants,
service providers and local authorities in tackling problems such as
transport, pollution, energy use, water supply and waste
management. You will develop and undertake research both as part
of a team of students and individually. The research will be in
collaboration with industry and supervised within one of a range of
departments within the University, including the Institute for
Transport studies, the School of Civil Engineering, the School of
Geography and the Department of Fuel and Energy.
Candidates will obtain training in research and transferable skills for
use in a wide range of potential careers. The Leeds MRes
programme is one of a number funded by the EPSRC.
Scholarships are available for appropriately qualified students
Applicants should have, or expect to gain, a good honours degree
in an engineering, science or analytical social science discipline.

THREE YEAR POSTGRADUATE (PHD) RESEARCH
STUDENTSHIPS
Cutting edge research opportunities in integrated urban transport
policies or assessing the impacts of transport on human health.
Two research studentships are available from September 2001 in
the above areas expected to lead to the award of PhD.
Suggestions for original research associated with either of these
research areas are welcomed from prospective students.
Collaborative support from consultancy and local governments is
expected to be available. Applicants should have a first or upper
second class undergraduate degree from an engineering, science
or analytical social science discipline and preferably a relevant
masters qualification. Research will be based in the Institute for
Transport Studies, a leading international centre in transport
research. State-of-the-art research facilities will be available and
stipends offered at enhanced rates to successful applicants.

POSTGRADUATE TAUGHT COURSES IN TRANSPORT
Following the government's injection of extra funding into transport,
there is a severe shortage of staff with the expertise to plan, design
and evaluate systems and infrastructure. ITS has 30 years
experience of training postgraduates for successful careers in
transport and offers four masters programmes; MSc(Eng) Transport
Planning and Engineering: MSc Transport Planning: MA Transport
Economics are each available full-time over one year, or part time
over two or three years. The MSc Transport Planning Practice is
designed to suit mid-career employees, and is available part time
over two to four years. Our programmes have an excellent
reputation with employers, and combine a firm grounding in the
essentials with a wide range of specialist options. Studentships
are available from a number of sources.
