| | | Learning outcomes |
- EC
| The holder of the degree considers society as a whole as an important stakeholder and reflects on the social relevance and consequences of recommendations and assignments in a critical manner. In addition to society, the master can also identify and set to work with other stakeholders (interested parties) and their specific needs. | - EC
| The holder of the degree is able to communicate and convince others (both in writing and orally) on his/her field of study (in the shape of scientific reports, presentations, case studies and the integrated project) with scientists of his/her own or similar fields of study and with wide social groups (e.g. residents, governments, shopkeepers). | - EC
| The holder of the degree shows initiative, creates opportunities by anticipating and is flexible. | - EC
| The holder of the degree is able to identify relevant traffic safety and transportation problems in the field of transportation sciences. | - EC

In this course it will be explained how a sustainable transportation system can be implemented. To this end, it will be studied which strategies and tactics governments use to gradually change the existing transportation system into a more sustainable one and which problems they have to overcome during this process. To illustrate this process, several cases will be presented of cities across the world. It will be explained on which aspects they differ and on which aspects they are similar. In addition, it will be highlighted how the implementation of the adopted strategies can be improved such that the potential of transformative change can be maximized.
The DL-student will learn how to cooperate with another stakeholder on a self-chosen case study and to encourage critical thinking towards a sustainable transportation system.
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.
