WHY ENROLL IN THIS PROGRAM?

Asset n° 1 

Training in the challenges of sustainable mobility through the prism of economic analysis and modelling delivered by two nationally recognised establishments on the theme of Transport Economics.

Asset n°2

A multidisciplinary training combining theoretical economics, applied economics, modelling, data processing, management sciences and political science.

Asset n°3

A close link with the economic world (transport operators, the automotive industry) and the mobility organising authorities.

This training course deals with all the issues of decarbonization of transport and new forms of mobility, from the perspective of more global, societal, climatic and natural resource (biodiversity) issues through economic aspects, with an analytical dimension (modeling) and a prospective dimension.

Fundamental courses with a focus on research will provide the conceptual and theoretical elements to achieve these objectives. Thematic courses focused on practical issues and their management in various sectors (new energies, smart mobility, etc.) allow students to integrate different professional environments with the necessary hindsight to exercise a management function.

Objectives 

  • Analyze the environmental, climate, energy and geopolitical issues around transport and mobility;
  • Model and quantify an economic phenomenon (econometrics, operations research, simulation methods);
  • Analyze the markets (transport supply and mobility demand) as well as the technological and financial aspects of the sectors concerned;
  • Understand and apply the concepts of needs analysis and project management;
  • Carry out and interpret prospective studies, using the necessary methods and software;
  • Develop a multi-criteria analysis method in the development of strategic choices for intervention in the field of transport;
  • Put project management and risk management tools into practice;
  • Understand the mechanisms and institutions at work in public policies and negotiation strategies;
  • Develop original research projects by mobilizing empirical knowledge of the sector and state-of-the-art analytical tools from the academic discipline.

The possible positions at the end of the Master's degree are: 

  • Economic and technical expertise: research officers in the fields of development of mobility and energy transition activities within consulting firms and companies.
  • Economic and technical expertise: research officers in the field of transport, mobility and energy regulation, in network companies, consulting firms or regulatory authorities.
  • Managers of innovation projects, in particular innovation in energy services and mobility, in which the analysis of uses plays an essential role, within industrial groups and innovative SMEs.
  • Managers of research and development departments, called upon to rethink the organizational schemes of R&D to take into account the issues of standards, interoperability and rapid evolution of technologies.
  • Senior executives of companies or administrations, after a doctorate.
  • Teaching and research after a doctorate.
