In a case-study of an international city such as Ho Chi Minh City, Jakarta, Bangkok, Dar Es Salaam, etc. students integrate knowledge and skills from other courses taught in the same semester, e.g. concepts of Behavioural Interventions, Transport Infrastructure, Intelligent Solutions in Transportation, etc. In parallel and together with fellow students you immediately apply what you learn to the case of an international mega-city. The case-study is developed in co-operation with an expert with expertise in the local transportation and traffic safety situation.
The majority of your learning will be done through self-study, based on the course material that is made available online. You will have access to a range of useful online learning materials such as online lectures, reading materials, as well as access to thousands of e-books, online journals and other resources via our online university library. Approximately mid-semester, an online interactive Question and Answer session will be organised, where students can meet the course lecturer and fellow students online and have the opportunity to go deeper into the course material.
All evaluations will be done online, whether by submission of assignments or by taking written or oral exams online, or a combination of assignments and exams. Written exams will be done with online proctoring (exam supervision) to retain the integrity of a supervised exam, while providing the flexibility of an online platform. For the online exams, distance learning students should ensure to have a laptop/pc with a working webcam and microphone, a charged mobile device (phone/tablet) and a stable internet connection (minimum upload speed of 1.5 MB/second), as well as a quiet, secluded room to take the exam in.
