information regarding institutions providing sandwich courses for Transport Studies at university level and the qualifications which may be obtained?
A Unfortunately, sandwich courses in ^ transport studies are few and far between. As stated in "Common room" last week, night classes still predominate—and these are often governed by local authority financial considerations.
We can mention three university-level transport courses, but only the first of these resembles a sandwich course, the others being full-time, spread over two or three years.
London University has a two-year course commencing in mid-October which leads to a Certificate in Transport Studies. One day per week attendance is required, on a day-release basis, and candidates should hold some junior managerial position--broadly interpreted and have some GCE 0-level or Institute of Transport successes. A third year's research will lead to a Diploma in Transport Studies. This course can be RTITB-assisted.
Commencing this September, City of London College has introduced a three-year full-time course leading to a CNAA degree award. Candidates should have two A-levels and five 0-levels, i.e. normal university entrance requirements. The interesting aspect of this course is that approximately 50 per cent of the time is spent with various transport concerns, although the actual academic work is mainly on a business studies footing.
The third course is held at Salford University and was introduced in 1966. This is a full Bachelor degree course and has been fully discussed in "Common room" on a number of occasions.
