This course supports PhD students with their theoretical framing and methodological choices when doing their PhD research. PhD students are first given a quick overview of various theories and methods in the areas of Transport, Infrastructure and Logistics (TIL) and a basic understanding of some particularly relevant theories and methods in the areas of TIL. This allows them also to determine which other specialized courses might be interesting for them to follow at a later stage.
