In Advanced Technology, you acquire an enormous amount of knowledge. For instance, knowledge of chemical engineering, mechanical engineering and applied physics. Besides that you will also learn about their commercial and social applications, because you won’t solve tomorrow’s problems with just the technical knowledge. You will also focus on developing specific skills during a fair share of your time.

Skills

One of the most important skills is working and communicating in a team. Advanced Technology students are socially-oriented people with a broad-minded view of the world around them and beyond. You are an inquisitive explorer with a thirst for (technical) insight into everything happening around you. Advanced Technology enables you to rise to absolutely any technological challenge.

Bachelor’s programme

In the AT Bachelor’s programme, you will focus on all aspects of society that require technological innovation. This means you may work on projects at the world-famous MESA+ Nanotechnology Research Institute, contribute to new technologies such as ‘Lab-on-a-Chip’ - developed by the University of Twente’s spin-off company, Lionix - or play a part in other socially-oriented projects and research. Ultimately, you yourself will decide which technology you will develop.

At the University of Twente, we do not only specialise in technological sciences, but also in the field of social sciences. As an AT-student you conduct research in several research fields simultaneously and produce solutions for our international community.
