The aim of the  master’s degree in Urban Mobility  is to improve urban mobility in our cities and around the world. This requires not just improvements in technical infrastructure (towards intelligent transport infrastructure, the Internet of Things, etc.) but also holistic planning, execution and operation. Urban transformation obliges stakeholders to interact and understand others’ perspectives to make this improvement. This programme trains students from a variety of engineering backgrounds and equips them with the sector’s specific skills. It allows them to gain further, in-depth knowledge of the transition towards sustainable mobility, future services and markets and the impact of ICTs and energy technologies. The programme also provides fundamental tools in entrepreneurship and innovation for dealing with the rapid transformation of global society. There is currently no other master’s degree in Spain that provides such comprehensive education in this field.The master’s degree in Urban Mobility is proposed as part of the higher education provided by the Urban Mobility Master School, which is part of the European Institute of Technology (EIT). Within this initiative, which also has a scholarship programme, if the first year is taken at one of the universities in the consortium and a second year is taken at another university, students may be awarded a double degree.The entire master’s degree can also be taken at the UPC, independently of the EIT’s proposal.A minimum of 30 ECTS credits for the subjects in the Innovation and Entrepreneurship specialisation, from an initial offer of 54 ECTS credits comprising subjects of between 3 and 10 credits, must be taken for the degree to be awarded.Four pathways are currently offered:Future Mobility Markets and Services (2020-2021 academic year)Transition towards Sustainable Mobility (2020-2021 academic year)Data Science and Analysis for Smart Mobility (2021-2022 academic year)Innovative Technologies for Urban Mobility (2021-2022 academic year)
