Labour market

Mechanical Engineering graduates are qualified to work in a wide range of companies, where they can fulfill widely differing tasks and positions. Recent graduates mostly find jobs characterized as ‘research & development’ and ‘design and construction’ positions. In a design team, they are the engineering specialist, the integrator and often the team leader. Relatively many graduates manage other engineers in their first job. The Master’s degree course offers students the opportunity to train specifically for one of these job categories.

Such skills-based learning is typical for the University of Twente. The course has a reputation for qualitative excellence. Compared to other engineering programmes, graduates are very satisfied – 82% feel they received excellent training for the position they hold.
