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.

- 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.

Online evaluation form - If you have any comments on a course, a part of a course or even multiple courses, please fill in the form. State clear comments, and maybe even suggestions. Your input is essential.
Doing/Did an Internship or working on your Thesis?
We would like to create a database that would be accessible to all members, which would contain details of students working on their internships and/or theses. The objective is to assist students with any questions they have regarding a company or a topic that someone has already worked on before. This could also be useful to reach you for career events. This would, no doubt, be of immense help to all students by creating a shared supportive community.
Therefore, we need your help to make this a success. If you are doing an internship or working on a thesis (or have decided or done either of those), please take time to fill this short form by clicking on the following link:
Form Link: https://goo.gl/forms/SDbCxB5hlYqIOk2X2
[Estimated completion time: 150 seconds]
If you start your internship/thesis later, please remember to fill this form.
We look forward to receiving your input! Very soon, we will be able to share it with all of you!
