Courses

About

The MSc TIL programme offers a comprehensive systems view on the field of transport, infrastructure and logistics by providing both courses and full projects. A major part of the programme (80 EC) consists of courses, that sometimes partly include projects.

There are three types of courses in the programme: fundamentals, specialisations and electives, equally sharing the available credits. All three types contribute to the interdisciplinary character of the the programme: fundamentals contain interdisciplinary fundamentals and both specialisations and electives have an interdisciplinary composition (specialisations are composed out of courses provided by several MSc programmes and the set of elective courses students choose must contain courses from several MSc programmes). 

Components

There are three types of courses:

• Fundamentals: course that all students must complete succesfully
  Fundamentals together form the basic component of the programme including five compulsory courses, adding up to 27 EC. They give students a broad and systematic insight into the design and analysis of TIL facilities, TIL systems, TIL arenas and their environment.
• Specialisations: sets of thematically related courses that students can choose
  Specialisations are packages of 26-27 EC including six courses each with a common theme or application domain. Students must, according to their interests, choose one out of four specialisations that are offered in the programme.
• Electives: separate courses that students can choose
  Elective courses (and also projects) help to satisfy the specific knowledge needs of students. They are available from all contributing MSc programmes, and there is also the possibility to choose courses from other MSc programmes of Delft University of Technology or other universities in the Netherlands. Together the chosen electives must add up to 26 or 27 EC.
