| Students can structure, summarize and apply scientific literature from a theoretical framework. | | | - DC
| The student consults the sources which are identified as relevant by himself/herself in a methodologically sound manner. | | | - DC
| Based on concepts that are supplied during class and departing from an extensive reading list, the student is able to look up information autonomously in specialist literature to describe an existing case. | | | - DC
| Based on the study of the supplied concepts and the research carried out, the student is able to take a well-founded stand with regard to a described real-life situation. | - EC
| The holder of the degree can function as a member of a (multidisciplinary) team and has a good assessment of his/her own role within the organisation and in a wider social and international context. | | | - DC
| The student functions as member of a team, in an organisation (in a national or international context). | | | - DC
| In the framework of a group assignment, the student is able to make agreements on the work to be done and stick to these agreements or consult with other group members if and when adjustments are required. | - 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. | | | - DC
| The student is able to identify the most important stakeholders within the context of his/her topic and to elucidate their relevance. | | | - DC
| The student can reflect the interests of the various stakeholders and take these into account when making recommendations. | - 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). | | | - DC
| The student is able to orally communicate on a researched case study and argue his personal point of view. | | | - DC

| The holder of the degree shows initiative, creates opportunities by anticipating and is flexible. | | | - DC
| The student always shows a motivated dedication, even when uncertainties or problems arise during the process. | | | - DC
| The student is not afraid to think out-of-the-box to come up with original but realistic ideas and strategies. | | | - DC
| The student is open to new ideas or information and is able to assess and integrate them in already existing knowledge and insights. | - EC
| The holder of the degree is able to identify relevant traffic safety and transportation problems in the field of transportation sciences. | | | - DC
| Students are able to analyse a clear problem taken from real-life from a theoretical framework. . | | | - DC
| The student can describe a concrete problem within the domain of traffic safety or mobility management and convert this to concrete objectives. | - EC
| The holder of the degree offers realistic solutions for complex traffic safety or transportation problems by using relevant theories and/or models from the field of study of transportation sciences or related domains. | | | - DC
| The student offers a realistic solution for a certain problem, based on knowledge and insight, gained from his academic schooling. | - EC
| The holder of the degree is able to autonomously carry out research in transportation sciences, formulate recommendations and show their practical applicability in daily life, whilst keeping to the deontological codes of research. | | | - DC
| Within small groups, students transfer the acquired knowledge from the theory lectures to practice. |

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.
