“Creativity is just having enough dots to connect” – Steve Jobs

With an ATLAS degree, the possibilities for your future career are virtually endless. Not because we can teach you everything there is to know, but because you know how to get things done. Because you are able to combine information from engineering, physical science and social sciences, you are able to really solve a problem, foresee the implications of new technology and be the linking pin between technology, policy and society. Leaders of industry agree that these are the demands that companies place on their employees; being able to think of original solutions that take into account the complexity of modern day life.

Connections with industry

The University of Twente has a record of establishing close connections with industry to solve major societal challenges related to energy shortage, healthy ageing, ICT security and clean water. This has led to strong cooperation with international companies like Boeing, Google, Ten Cate, Thales, Shell, Siemens and Philips. These and many others companies, as well as public and non-governmental organisations, employ the 29,000 UT alumni today. In 2011-2012, Times Higher Education ranked the UT among the top 200 universities worldwide for the sixth consecutive year.
