On behalf of colleagues at the Transport Studies Unit, Oxford University
In March 2013, we launch our inaugural Oxford Leadership Programme: 'Global Challenges in Transport'.
Designed to meet the needs of high-calibre professionals across the public, private and third sectors with an interest in transport; this flexible, intensive programme is certified and fully CPD accredited by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport. Offering a unique and critical perspective, it is targeted at existing and future leaders who seek a greater understanding of the key economic, societal and environmental issues facing global mobility in the 21st Century.
The 6 stand-alone courses each involve a mixture of lectures, seminars, distinguished visiting speakers, and practice-based workshops with industry experts. Each 4 day residential course includes 3 nights en-suite accommodation and dining at St. Anne's College, Oxford. Participants are able to register for as many or as few courses as they wish, all materials are included and we offer attractive rates for group/multiple and Oxford alumni bookings.
