Methodology, software & labs

How you'll learn

The programme is delivered 100% online on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable materials, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: you progress at your own pace within each intake, so you can combine it with your job.

Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standards and applied exercises. The working software is Python with pandas, QGIS, SUMO, Google OR-Tools and Power BI, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Exercises are based on real procedures: analysing punctuality and occupancy on a bus network, forecasting demand for a shared mobility service and optimising timetables and driver shifts. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final Master's Thesis.

Standards covered: Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/1926, EN 12896 (Transmodel), CEN/TS 16614 (NeTEx), Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), CEN/TS 15531 (SIRI), EN 13816:2002, ISO 14083:2023 and ISO 39001:2012.

Assigned technical tutor:every module ends with a deliverable that your tutor marks individually.
Standards-based learning:guided reading of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/1926, Transmodel and NeTEx applied to real cases, not as a theoretical annex.
Industry software:Python with pandas, QGIS, SUMO, Google OR-Tools and Power BI, in free, academic or evaluation versions.
Master's Thesis with defence:an analytics project on a real operational problem, with models, an improvement proposal and an economic impact estimate, defended before a panel.
Flexible format:100% online, no fixed timetables, compatible with full-time work.
