Education overview

Are you interested in building a career in the field of Environmental, Energy or Water Management? And do you like to share and exchange knowledge with an international group of students? Then the Master of Environmental and Energy Management could be of interest for you.

Are you looking for a way to deepen your expertise in energy technology, while supplementing it with the broader knowledge and skills needed to achieve real change in our societies’ energy systems? Are you eager to use your understanding of technology and engineering to play a role as enabler, leader and game changer in the transition towards sustainable energy systems? If you are, the University of Twente’s Master’s programme Sustainable Energy Technology (SET) is a good choice for you.

This minor offers students opportunities to gain international experience by going abroad for a field study, a study tour, or by working from the Netherlands with international partners. Where possible, the students’ study background will be connected to the international project that they will carry out. Crossing Borders consists of two modules, each of 15 EC, which can be taken separately.

CSTM researchers contribute to several courses in BSc programmes. This mainly concerns environmental law, but also other topics are frequently requested for guest lectures.

The department Governance and Technology for Sustainability/CSTM offers two types of PhD-positions. On the one hand, these include designated PhD positions, when CSTM secures a (national) science foundation grant for a specific project. On the other hand, open PhD positions are possible.
