This programme is designed to provide students with a theoretical and methodological foundation in transport technology and management. It will deepen students’ knowledge of the interaction between theory and practice, and safety and sustainability of proposed solutions in technical, technological and methodological areas. The programme aims to equip students to analyse complex problems in the field of transport technology and management. Using mathematics, logistics systems, modelling of technological processes, data structures, algorithms and other methods, students will be able to arrive at appropriate solutions. The Faculty of Transport Engineering offers students the opportunity of hands-on experience in modern research facilities and equipment reflecting the latest technology. Students will be able to specialise in a particular aspect of transport engineering while having an overview of how the different interrelated fields interact. In addition, there is close cooperation with various Czech and international companies such as Škoda Auto, Siemens, CZ LOKO and Enteria, which ensures that all work is relevant and applicable to solve real-world problems. The city of Pardubice offers safe and affordable cost of living, and easy access to major cities in Europe. As part of their studies, students can also collaborate with international partners in the form of research, publications or visits. PhD students are expected to complete an international internship of at least one month.
