École des Ponts ParisTech, created in 1747 under the name École Royale des Ponts et Chaussées, is a higher education establishment that trains engineers to a high level of scientific, technical and general competency. Apart from civil engineering and spatial planning, historically the source of its prestige, the School develops high-quality programs and research associated with the energy transition.
The “Railway and Urban Transport System Engineering” Advanced Master®, created in 2008 in cooperation with UTC Compiegne and INSA HdF, provides an overview of the railway and urban system, using a multidisciplinary approach with technical, economic and regulatory angles. It is aimed at professionals with several years of experience in transport. Students learn how to design, operate and maintain a variety of guided transport systems, including trains, subways, trams and BRT, as well as their infrastructure. A particular emphasis is put on mass transit, since rapid urbanization means that high-capacity transportation becomes essential to cope with congestion and pollution.
