Overview
You will examine historic and emerging trends in travel behaviour and lifestyles; understand how people make decisions relating to transport, drawing on social psychological theories; and consider the design and implementation of behaviour change interventions used in practice (including travel plans and other travel demand management measures).
Learning and Teaching
The Changing Travel Behaviour course at the UWE Bristol (University of the West of England) will be delivered through a series of interactive lecture classes combined with workshops designed to support students with the development of their coursework projects. In previous years, projects have involved students designing a real-world behaviour change intervention for a context of their choosing.
