Overview

Get in touch: join KU Leuven ’s Webinars 

Discover all that KU Leuven has to offer via one of KU Leuven’s Webinars about KU Leuven, admissions & applying, housing, and more.

As a graduate of the Master in Mobility & Supply Chain Engineering, you put Intelligent Transport Systems into optimal use. You analyse and bring systematic innovation to accessibility and sustainability (environment) aspects of the transport system. For example by redesigning logistic processes of hospitals, offering out-of-the-box solutions for public transport operators who cooperate with trendy firms (Google, Uber, Tesla, ...), developing tools so that shared bike systems and electric cars can work.

As a graduate, you can also analyse existing transport networks in response to new players, different prices and new technologies like 3D printing. Your skills will allow you to invent new ways of organising for example e-commerce, warehouses, drones, robots.

Programme strenghts

• A research-driven programme: It is great to see new generations of students getting fascinated by the beautiful mathematics that describes stop and go waves in traffic, or game-theoretical interactions in a transport system. In our research, we have cast these theories into fast computer models. Our students can play with them, and compare them to the latest traffic data that arrives in our lab every minute.
• Linking theory to practice: We offer cases and data sets of transport systems you know from daily life around you. Next to academic staff, teachers from companies, consultants and government share their experience with you. Our Industrial Advisory Board keeps the programme in line with the needs of the sector and lets you witness their activities in excursions and guest lectures. Experience working in the sector by choosing an internship or making your master thesis with a company!
