About the program

What is the Professional Diploma in Sustainable Mobility Solutions?

This professional diploma is designed for transport and logistics professionals leading the shift to greener mobility, environmental and sustainability consultants expanding into low-carbon transport, public officials and urban planners designing mobility policies and infrastructure, entrepreneurs developing electric, shared or autonomous mobility solutions, and engineers and technicians updating their knowledge. You will study the foundations of sustainable mobility and the transport transition, clean technologies, urban planning and smart cities, shared mobility and sustainable logistics, energy and decarbonisation, digital innovation and automation, and the regulation, management and funding of mobility projects.

What sets this professional diploma apart: it takes a policy and planning view of mobility across cities and regions, connecting land, maritime and multimodal transport with urban design, accessibility and air quality, rather than concentrating on fleet operations alone; it covers the full decarbonisation toolkit, from electrification and green hydrogen to circular economy for batteries and carbon footprint calculation; it gives practical weight to cost-benefit analysis, stakeholder coordination and implementation; and it ends with an applied project in which you design, evaluate and present a sustainable mobility solution for a real case.
