The purpose of the Advanced Diploma in Transportation Management is to provide both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the field of transportation management for prospective students who are currently middle managers, or aspire towards middle management so that you can apply the principles of transport management in your working environment.

The programme will develop your knowledge and applied competence relating to transport policy and legislation, transport planning and management, logistics processes and practices, project management, and transport operations and costing.

The inclusion of research methodology and a research project, as well as a practical simulation module in which you will be required to apply your acquired theoretical knowledge to current industry-related challenges, offers you the opportunity to balance theory and practice.

The exit-level outcomes of the AdvDip (Transportation Management) programme are aligned with the level descriptors stipulated on Level 7 of the NQF since you are required to apply theoretical knowledge to complex problems and to present such application as a well-structured argument using academic discourse. Each module in the programme contributes to achieving learning outcomes suitable for a Level 7 qualification because you are expected to demonstrate integrated knowledge of the central areas of one or more fields.

  • Graduates will be able to identify complex problems as well as analyse, evaluate, address and critically reflect on them as well as manage processes in unfamiliar and variable contexts.
  • The programme allows students to develop their own ideas and express them using appropriate academic, professional or occupational discourse.
