Education

By the TU Delft Safety & Security Institute

Free & open for participants from all Dutch universities & universities of applied science

PhD & postdoc course ‘Safe by Design’

Safety is becoming increasingly relevant in various fields. The renewed focus on Safe by Design (SbD) tries to identify and include safety (along with other important values such as sustainability, security, and circularity) at an early stage of design. Each year we offer PhD course that offers a general outlook on SbD, then dives into different disciplinary perspectives on SbD and its industrial applications and ends with (ethical) reflections on SbD.

Road Safety

Road traffic accidents currently result in about 1.25 million deaths each year and leave between 20 and 50 million people with non-fatal injuries. In addition to the impact on human life and safety this also results in significant economic losses. This course will enable the design of safer roads, develop better road safety plans and policies and ensure the presence of the human factor in both policy and design.

offline course for professionals, in Dutch only

Management of Safety, Health & Environment

Good working conditions and safety on the work floor, managing processes with minimal impact on the environment and balancing safety and security levels with conflicting values and uncertainties are important aspects of efficient and sustainable business operations. The program Management of Safety, Health & Environment (MoSHE) prepares professionals to play a central role in the day-to-day implementation of safety requirements and the development of future safety policy at companies and institutions.

Cybersecurity for Managers and Executives: Taking the Lead

If you are a leader, or preparing for a leadership role, you are accountable for the cyber maturity of your organization. This course will equip you with the framework, vocabulary and understanding of cyber risks, and will give you the confidence to take the lead in cybersecurity initiatives.

Economics of Cybersecurity: Solutions

Cybersecurity breaches are the outcome of bad incentives. This course teaches you how to think about rational security investments, aligning security with the business strategy, insurance, incident response and much more. As well as individual organizations, it also covers solutions to address market failures.

Risk in Modern Society

This course sheds light on the broad concept of risk. It closely examines various types of safety and security risks, and how these are perceived and dealt with in a wide array of professional and academic fields, ranging from criminology, counter-terrorism and cyber security, to philosophy, safety and medical science. Developed in collaboration with scholars from three universities (Leiden, Delft and Erasmus), this course will search for answers to questions such as: “what is risk?”, “how do we study and deal with risk?”, “does ‘perceived risk’ correspond to 'real' risk?”, and “how should we deal with societal perceptions of risk, safety and security?

Forencis Engineering: Learning from Failures

What do collapsed buildings, infected hospital patients, and crashed airplanes have in common? If you know the causes of these events and conditions, they can all be prevented. In this course, you will learn how to use the TU Delft mind-set to investigate the causes of such events so you can prevent them in the future.

Economics of Cybersecurity: Users and Attackers

Are humans the weakest link in cybersecurity? Using an economics perspective, this course will give you the latest insights into the behavior of users, and how they and their criminal adversaries fit into larger systems, so that you can design the best responses to guard against your most critical risks.
