Electives

About

Electives are separate courses that students can choose.
They choose elective courses to satisfy their specific knowledge needs. For this purpose a wide range of elective courses is available. This also includes all specialisation courses, thus enabling students to choose specialisation courses from one or more of the non-chosen specialisations.

To guarantee the interdisciplinary character of the programme, students must choose elective courses from each of the three MSc programmes that supply courses to the MSc programme TIL, as well as from other TIL fields, such as e.g. air transport, martime transport, systems and control, project managent, underground space technology, economic, ethics, etc.

Rules

The credits awarded for the elective subjects chosen by the student have to add up to a total of 26 or 27 EC. The exact amount of credits depends on the size of the chosen specialisation: the total amount of credits of the fundamentals, the specialisations and the electives should add up to a total of 80 EC. A result of this rule is that students that opt for the specialisations P or O must take elective courses to a total of 27 EC and that students that opt for the specialisations D or E must take elective courses to a total of 26 EC.

Within the required 26 or 27 EC of electives students must choose at least one course, not already chosen as part of their specialisation, from each of four elective course categories as shown below. The possibly remaining credits may be chosen otherwise.

Components

Students must choose at least one course from each of the following four categories of electives:

  • Electives T&P - Transport and Planning
    These courses are provided by the MSc programme Civil Engineering, track Transport and Planning
  • Electives T&L - Transport and Logistics
    These courses are provided by the MSc programme Systemens Engineering, Policy Analysis and Management, specialisation Transport and Logistics
  • Electives TEL&PEL - Transportation Engineering
    These courses are provided by the MSc programme Mechanical Engineering, track Transportation Engineering, specialisation Transport Engineering and Logistics and specialisation Production Engineering and Logistics
  • Electives TIL - Other TIL fields
    These courses are provided by various MSc programmes: Civil Engineering, Systems Engineering, Policy Analysis and Management, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, as well as interfaculty or service education

Apart from the above mentioned categories of elective courses, there is the possibility to additionally choose elective projects and also free electives. This possibility is optional.
