Description
Summary:Influenced by globalisation, internationalisation and different social needs it appears that the higher education is currently changing from an input-output based professor-led approach towards a more integrated competence-based student-led approach. The necessity to develop deep understanding of multi-disciplinary concepts and orientations for a sustainable future has forced industrial, technological and service sectors to cross boundaries. In this paper we discuss concepts, standards and designs for innovative curricula for an MSc in Rail Freight and Logistics which employs a flexible mobility-based hybrid model integrating subjects, teaching and learning methods from four European Universities.
