This new rail annotation provides competitive to other ways of transportation, an opportunity for students of various it must be fast, safe, reliable, comfortable Master’s profiles to add a fundamental set of Faculties involved and cost effective. Railway engineers can railway courses to their curriculum.

Curriculum The annotation Railway Systems consists of the following components: • Compulsory courses (8 ECTS) • Elective courses (14 ECTS or more) • Graduation thesis on rail related topic (30-40 ECTS, depending on Master’s programme) 1 ECTS = 28 hrs study, according to the European Credit Tranfser System (ECTS) One academic year is 60 ECTS Compulsory CIE4872 CIE4874 Railway Operations Elements of Railway and Control Engineering 4 ECTS - Q4 4 ECTS - Q2 Electives CIE4811-09 CIE4870 CIE4871 Planning & Operations Structural Design of Design and Maintenance of Public Transport Railway Track of Railway Vehicles 6 ECTS - Q1 4 ECTS - Q3 4 ECTS - Q4 CIE5803-09 CIE4873 CIE5874 Railway Traffic Wheel Rail Interface Railway Assets: Management Performance by Design 4 ECTS - Q2 4 ECTS - Q4 4 ECTS - Q2 CIE5811 CIE5871 CIE5875 Transport Safety Capita Selecta Railway Asset Management 4 ECTS - Q1 4 ECTS - Q2 4 ECTS - Q2 Operations Engineering To build a better, safer train system, starting one step ahead in railways is “ necessary. This is not based on just a good idea. The idea must be worked out in a research based environment and business case balanced. Also a stakeholder analysis needs to be carried out for technological innovation to be proved and implemented. Most people focus only at the technology on its own, but railway systems are more complicated. It takes time to develop, prove and implement new ideas in general. The aim for better rail transport starts with understanding the basics and relationship between the multiple assets in the railway system. As a Master student, you will work on every day railway challenges. Our Railway Engineering group will guide you to find a scientifically based answer to solve such cases during your study, and thus bring knowledge into practice in an unique academic environment. Our leading researchers, rail laboratory and TU Delft measurement train (CTO) will facilitate you to bring out the best innovations and creative techniques. In close cooperation with the railway industry, our team works towards smarter railway systems to stay one step ahead of tomorrow’s demands. Develop an idea and challenge yourself. Create, test and validate; your ticket for a professional career in railways!

After the minor course, I became strongly interested in Railway Engineering. Since I TU Delft Express already succeeded the railway course in the CTO measurement train Bachelor, I decided to apply as a student- assistant for the railway department. I got in touch with the TU Delft measurement train (CTO), assisting researchers with various tasks concerning different ways of monitoring tracks. Think about placing new sensors, executing measurements (while driving of course) and data processing. From this, I gain a lot of knowledge about railway systems, but also about measuring and data processing in general. Because of the university having its own train, it is easily accessible for students. In this way, fundamental theories can be transformed into a hands-on experience, which I experienced as very important. Next year I will start my Master’s in Rail. The new rail annotation is a great way to broaden my knowledge and learn more about this complex field of expertise. ” Objective, MSc integration and admission requirements Objective of the Annotation Integration within the MSc Curricula General TU Delft admission The primarily goal of the annotation Railway The annotation Railway Systems can be If you hold a Dutch BSc degree (WO) closely Systems is to create MSc programmes that integrated within various MSc programmes. related to the Master’s programme, you cover the complex challenges from both an In consultation with our academic staff it is will be admitted directly.
