Structure graduate research programme

A Graduate Research Programme educates students to be researchers in fields of expertise in which high quality research is carried out at the University of Twente. The structure of a graduate research programme includes a cursory component at master level that forms the basis for research concerning the subject in question, an international orientation on research, a preparatory and orientating master's project, a cursory component provided by the involved research institute, the national research schools and/or other (inter)national networks, a number of broadening subjects such as ethics and philosophy, innovation and entrepreneurship, governance and project management, science and communication, etc., and a research project resulting in a doctoral degree.
