Overview
Designed to meet the needs of high-calibre professionals
working in transport and related fields, across the public,
private and third sectors, the University of Oxford's
Leadership Programme on Global Challenges in Transport 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.
Offering a unique and critical perspective, this flexible,
modular course of study has been developed by the
University’s world-renowned Transport Studies Unit, and is
certified and fully CPD - accredited by the Chartered Institute
for Transport and Logistics.
Programme details
The 2012-13 Leadership Programme is comprised of six individual
courses. The courses have been carefully designed to complement
each other, and also function as stand-alone courses, with
participants able to register for as many or as few courses as
they wish. Those completing all six courses benefit from a
discounted overall programme fee.
Each course comprises a blend of lectures, seminars,
distinguished visiting speakers, and practice-based workshops
with industry experts. As well as learning from cutting-edge
research and practice, participants will also be encouraged to
share their own professional experiences with their peers. The
courses are designed such that participants will broaden their
critical understanding of global transport challenges and how
these relate to contemporary economic globalisation,
urbanisation, social policy, resource scarcity, and climate
change.
All courses are delivered in the pleasant surroundings of St.
Anne’s College, University of Oxford, where participants
will also be provided with three nights’ en-suite
accommodation and all meals.
This Course examines the evolution and uptake of
contemporary mobility systems. Individual sessions will explore
emerging contemporary mobility cultures in different global
regions, diffusion and new perspectives on the role of technology
in changing behaviours and energy reduction, and the
sociocultural dynamics of behaviour change. The course
additionally offers an overview of new and emerging smart
technologies and behavioural intervention programmes and provides
insights into current projects and initiatives across the globe.
This Course explores the role of different actors,
organisations and institutions in the creation, management and
evolution of transport systems in various global contexts. The
lectures and interactive workshops explore how policies are
formulated and implemented at a range of spatial scales, and how
such interventions vary in terms of effectiveness and efficiency.
The course also looks into decision-making and the issues of
acceptability and governance with sessions focusing on the
mobility requirements for both rural and urban societies
globally.
This Course focuses on the complex and dynamic interaction
between transportation and global systems. It draws parallels
between international freight and logistics and international
passenger transport, observing how both are structured by the
shifting nature of the global economy. It employs a
multi-disciplinary approach drawing on economics, geography and
sociology with discussions on aviation, shipping, high-speed rail
and ITC from an international perspective, whilst also examining
further key issues such as demand-side, and supply chain
management.
The Course explores the relationships between transport
systems, infrastructure, investment, and economic development
within developed and developing countries. It examines and
evaluates the economic, social and environmental contribution of
a range of different transport investments projects, including
those associated with ‘mega-projects’, megacities,
poverty and equity, labour market access and agglomeration
economies.
The Course concentrates on the relationships between urban
form and design, mobility practices, and physical and mental
well-being. Sessions will address the historical and future links
between urban environments and health at a range of spatial
scales and in a range of geographical contexts. Particular
emphases will be placed on the issues of social equity, providing
sustainable access to services and the potential contribution of
walking, cycling and public transport services to healthy cities.
The Course examines the complex relationships between
contemporary transport, global energy dynamics, and global
environmental change. Detailed sessions will discuss climate
change and adaptation, transitions to sustainable energy systems
and policy scenarios and evaluation. The course additionally
explores historical trends in carbon-intensive transport in
different global regions through the use of innovative
‘visioning’ and ‘backcasting’
techniques’. Case studies will be used to explore the
extent to which the adverse environmental consequences of such
mobility might be mitigated, and how contemporary transport
systems might be made more resilient in the face of rapid climate
change.
