About Hasselt University Master of Transportation Sciences Scholarships in Belgium

Every year (annually), International Course Programme (ICP) offers twelve students from developing countries two years scholarship programme to obtain MSc in Transportation Sciences which specifically focus on road safety in developing countries.

In this two years scholarship programme, students are trained to identify transportation and road safety issues in order to create innovative solutions by using an integrative approach based on three pillars: the individual (dealing with the human behaviour in traffic and how to influence it e.g. intentional and unintentional riskful behaviour such as drunk driving or cognitive impairments), the environment (e.g. creating self-explaining roads and infrastructure that minimizes crash impact) and the society (e.g. societal norms and translation into policy and enforcement measures). Road safety in this programme is approached as a cross-border field, incorporating elements of psychology, economy, urban planning, environmental studies, engineering and more.
