The challenge for the engineer of the future is to develop technologies that improve all aspects of our life, to create a world in which living, working and travelling will be safer, more convenient and more pleasant. Since working on useful inventions is such fun, we are eager to take on this challenge. We are developing robots for minimal invasive surgery, new methods to further speed up computers and increase their capacity, or systems for communication such as flexible displays – plastic foil that can be used as electronic paper, a display or touch screen.

Energy sources are another area of special focus (battery miniaturization and looking at ways to harvest energy from the environment). Our programme is educating a new generation of engineers who will be uniquely qualified to take on these kinds of challenges. They will be instrumental in designing a future of speed, convenience and environmental responsibility. We offer: individual assistance (housing, study advise ), the only campus university in the Netherlands, internationally recognized and even famous research, the best university of all universities in the Netherlands (and 11th position of all European universities).
