In a world where urbanisation is on the rise and sustainability is paramount, the demand for innovative solutions in urban mobility is greater than ever before.

The Business Engineering in Urban Mobility programme (BEUM) offers a transformative learning experience to become a leader in one of the most critical and dynamic fields of the 21st century. In particular, the programme focuses on providing conceptual knowledge, methods, and project-based experience in innovating and transforming business models in the context of urban mobility.

The programme is interdisciplinary and covers all modes of urban and regional transport for personal travel as well as goods and logistics. The programme provides an understanding of business perspectives in the evolving urban mobility landscape, how to design user-centric and sustainable solutions that enhance the urban mobility experience, and how the power of data can be used to make informed decisions in optimising urban mobility systems and supply chains.

Through its interdisciplinary approach, students will be equipped with a comprehensive understanding of technology as well as with extensive competencies in the field of management.
