The University of Leeds first offered a Transport Planning & Engineering Masters programme in 1965, and this evolved by 1971 into a fully fledged Institute within the university.

The Institute is based on University Road, within the main University of Leeds campus, housing approximately 70 academic staff. ITS received royal recognition in 2009 by winning a prestigious Queen's Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education- the prize was awarded for "sustained excellence - 40 years' impact in transport research and teaching." www.its.leeds.ac.uk/about/esteem/

Teaching at ITS focuses on three levels, with perhaps the best known of these being the Masters programmes, which attract students from around the world.

Undergraduate programmes are offered in conjunction with other departments of the University of Leeds, such as Geography and the Business School. A range of ITS elective modules are available for students from any discipline and staff of the Institute regularly teach on undergraduate modules hosted in other Faculties. www.its.leeds.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate
