EIT Urban Mobility Master's Programs at ULisboa
The University of Lisbon is partner in two EIT Urban Mobility, supported by the EIT, which aim to acquire cutting-edge technological knowledge, with training and practice in innovation and entrepreneurship.
The two EIT master's courses will be hosted at in partnership with the Master's in Transport Systems and with the collaboration of the following schools at the University of Lisbon: ; ; e .
All programmes at the EIT Urban Mobility Master School have a unique study path:
-
Students study one year each at two different universities, the “entry” university and the “exit” university. All options are located at a leading university in Europe in the field of urban mobility.
-
Graduating students will be awarded two officially recognised Master of Science degrees, from each of the two universities. Moreover, the programme is designed so that students may attain the qualifications for the EIT Label certificate awarded by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology.
-
During the first-year studies, students will be introduced to Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and participate in an extended Challenge Project. During the same year, students will acquire essential technical skills for working with urban mobility challenges.
-
Between the first and second year, students will participate in a Summer School applying new skills to two different cities within Europe.
-
In the second year, students will choose from several more specialised courses in both technical content as well as innovation and entrepreneurship. Students will also participate in a shorter challenge project that includes an internship at a company or organisation working to meet urban mobility challenges. To complete their degree, in the second year, students will carry out an independent master thesis, combining and demonstrating their full set of technical and entrepreneurial skills.
-
You will have a wide range of career opportunities, within the public and private sector, as well as have the know-how to start your own business or conduct rigorous research.
