Course Characteristics
NHTV offers three English-taught international programmes in the field of mobility and logistics. You start with a joint first year. When you opt for International Traffic Management, you will be trained for roles like mobility manager, mobility consultant, traffic researcher and transport planner.
Traffic is an internationally developing specialism. It concerns pedestrians, bikes, cars, busses as well as trucks, trains and plains. The traffic situation in the Netherlands is (one of) the safest in the world. Combined with the fact that the number of bikes is larger than the number of inhabitants, it makes the Dutch infrastructure an interesting subject for cases/assignments.
Study lay out
In the first and second year, you complete projects, courses, training courses and coaching sessions. In the third year you carry out two work placements, both for three months at for example an advisory agency. In the second trimester of that year you deepen your theoretical knowledge. In the fourth year you take a number of specialist classes and work on your graduation assignment for an international company in the Netherlands or abroad, where the business language is English.
In the first two academic years you can earn two credits by completing a course or practical component which you can choose yourself. Consider, for example, participating in an international study trip. At the moment, study trips to Dubai, Cape Town and Arizona are available. Other destinations are Berlin, Scotland, Barcelona and Ireland.

Fast tracks
The regular track of this programme takes four years, but a fast track is available for Dutch students with a vwo diploma or relevant mbo diploma (level 4). German students might be considered for the fast track if they have Hochschulereifezeugnis. Do you already have a (propaedeutic) certificate from another higher education institution or university in the Netherlands? If so, you may be allowed to follow the fast track programme. For more information, please contact the Student counsellor of the programme, Berber van der Heide, heide.b(at)nhtv.nl.
