Description
The Bachelor of Transport Management programme provides a systematic and coherent introduction to the knowledge,
principles, concepts, data, theories and problem‐solving techniques within the field of Transport. The programme has been
designed to respond to both the local and international contexts as students will explore the ways in which Transport roles exist
and function within Namibia and in developing societies more generally. The programme will enable students to acquire a blend
of cognitive and intellectual skills, as well as more hands‐on practical and key transferable skills, and to apply these competencies
in addressing transport challenges in Namibia and the international community.
The programme aims at producing transport graduates who can competently manage transport and logistics related tasks and
duties as well as make transport related decisions within the scope of their responsibilities. Graduates would be able to
appraise and manage the synergy between transport and other functional areas of management in an organisation. The
programme aims at equipping students with a diverse range of skills and competencies that are transport specific and job
related. Graduates will be able to use relevant transport information in the process of making effective and efficient transport
decisions, managing themselves and others, and providing mentorship and coaching to subordinates.
The overall purpose of this programme is to produce graduates who are competent and proficient in performing a wide spectrum
of routine, complex and multi‐dimensional transport and logistics‐related tasks, duties and responsibilities and achieve reliable
results with minimal or no supervision.
