Mobility and logistics systems are large-scale, interconnected socio-technical systems that often interact with various domains, such as energy, healthcare, and extreme events. Most MTech programs are, however, in uni-disciplinary departments, and UG programs typically do not focus on mobility and logistics systems.

This MTech program aims to prepare graduates to address the complexities of modern transportation through multidisciplinary coursework, industry-relevant skills, and technology exposure. The program is designed to equip graduates with knowledge and skills essential for various industries working in

• Urban, rural, and inter-city transport agencies
• Freight and logistics
• E-commerce platforms
• Mobility service providers and aggregators
• Airlines and travel services
• Smart city and IT services
• Mobility think tanks
