Transport, Infrastructure and Logistics
Every day we take the bus, train or our cars and drive over interconnected systems of road infrastructure, rail- or tram networks. We go to shops and buy products that were produced, manufactured and distributed across all continents over all conceivable transport networks, over water, land or via the air. And even within large or small industrial complexes, again transport plays a fundamental role. Think of the automated baggage handling at international airports, fully automated production chains or automated container terminals at large harbors.
The master Transport, Infrastructure & Logistics is a master program that copes with all the aspects named above and more. And it does that on an inter-faculty level, which means that we take the best en most interesting parts of three master tracks, namely:
The MSc program TIL offers you courses and projects to acquire knowledge, insights, and skills in the broad area of traffic (the movement of vehicles), transport (the movement of passengers and freight), infrastructure (roads, railways and harbors) and logistics (the organisation behind freight movements and transshipment both within and between industrial complexes). The curriculum of the MSc Transport, Infrastructure & Logistics track has the following program:
As Dispuut Verkeer, we focus on the quality of the master program and the courses. Each quarter the courses are evaluated by a Response Group. The Response Group discusses the content, the lectures and the assignment and/or examination of the courses.

- Transport & Planning from Civil Engineering & Geo Sciences
- Systems Engineering, Policy Analysis & Management from Technology, Policy & Management
- Transportation Engineering & Logistics from Mechanical Engineering

The curriculum of the MSc Transport, Infrastructure & Logistics track has the following program:
- 23 ECTS: Compulsory courses on Fundamentals
- 27 ECTS: Compulsory courses from your chosen specialization: Policy, Design, Operations or Engineering
- 25 ECTS: Wide range of electives from different master tracks
- 5 ECTS: Research project
- 10 ECTS: Interdisciplinary project, most of the time conducted at a company
- 30 ECTS: Master thesis

Transport and Planning
The focus of the MSc-track Transport & Planning is “The design, assessment and management of ‘open’ civil transport systems and networks”, in which the term ”open” refers to publicly accessible systems and networks. Core competences of Transport & Planning are Modelling, Design and Empirical research.
The new programme of the MSc-track Transport & Planning gives students freedom to compose a programme according to their interest by offering three specialisations and a selection of electives, while providing a solid basis in in the fundamentals of the three specialisations as well as in engineering and research skills. For the first year of the programme consists of a common core (32 EC), one out of three specialisations (16 EC each), a course on Ethics plus a selection of two courses from a list of Transport & Planning related courses (12 EC).
The core programme for the MSc-track of Transport &Planning consists of:
• Three courses that provide the fundamentals for the three specialisations,
• Three courses that focus on research and engineering skills.
The three specialisations consist of four courses each, and cover different domains in the field of Transport & Planning:
• Transport Networks, focussing on analysis and assessment for a broad range of transport systems and networks (e.g. urban systems and multimodal networks) and including other characteristics than travel times (e.g. reliability, robustness and emissions).
• Road Traffic Systems, focussing on operations and management of private traffic flows, i.e. cars, trucks and active modes as cycling and pedestrians, in regular and irregular conditions.
• Public Transport and Railway Systems, focussing on design, operations and management of urban and interurban/national passenger transport services, including railway traffic operations and management.

Comparison between MSc Civil Engineering (Transport and Planning) and MSc Transport, Infrastructure and Logistics
The track of Transport and Planning (T&P) of the MSc Programme in Civil Engineering is related to the MSc Programme in Transport, Infrastructure and Logistics (TIL), offered jointly by three faculties (i.e. TPM, 3ME and CEG) of TU Delft. The MSc TIL focuses on transport policy, spatial planning, transport systems, supply chains, infrastructure networks and management & control. The T&P track focuses on engineering, operational and technical challenges. These challenges are associated with planning and managing all private and public transport modes for people and goods and the design of their related infrastructure networks (roads and railways). In addition, the T&P track provides students with an engineering and strong modelling approach for solving transport problems focusing on empirical data analysis, optimisation and simulation, whereas TIL provides an integrated and interdisciplinary perspective for tackling the social-technical complexity of transport systems.
