The course Road Safety in the South includes global road safety knowledge that is relevant to traffic safety in the South. Specific cases from the South will be handled as well (e.g., Vietnam). To this end, the course involves the cooperation of several international guest speakers. The classes entail lectures and work sessions. These will handle road safety theory and apply this to cases in their specific region. Moreover, students work on a group assignment where they will choose a specific region (e.g., city, country) in the South in order to apply the Safe Systems Approach.

| Consequences | Unauthorised absence from compulsory activities (e.g. work sessions) may result in an adjusted final mark, as 1 point will be deducted from the final mark for each work session missed without valid justification.
Absences with valid justification must be reported in time (i.e., before the start of the work session) and supported with documentation. Where possible, a replacement task will be provided. |
