45m
101 (Foundation)

A beginner-friendly introduction to how roads, railways, airports, ports, cities, technology, funding and policy work together to move people and goods.

Course Overview

Every journey depends on a much larger system working behind the scenes. Transport & Mobility 101 introduces learners to how people and goods move through roads, railways, airports, ports, waterways and urban transport networks. The course explains how these modes connect, how transport projects move from an identified need to real infrastructure, and how they are funded and governed. Learners also explore the role of technology, sustainability and inclusive mobility, along with the impact of transport on businesses and economic growth. The course concludes by looking at the future of mobility and the wide range of careers across this ecosystem.
