UT as educational partner

Science and practice reinforce one another via the exchange of knowledge and skills.

In training professionals, we cooperate as much as possible with the business community. This takes place in various ways, from short courses and in-company training to masterclasses and part-time master programmes, divided over the fields below:

  • Public management and Risk management
  • Teacher and lecturer training courses
  • Geo-information Science and Earth Observation
  • Technical medicine
  • Chemistry and engineering sciences

Public management and Risk management

Professional Learning & Development (in Dutch) offers various educational programmes for professionals from both private sector and public sector. Some examples:

  • Part-time master's in Public Management or Risk Management;
  • In-company training sessions: The University of Twente provides customized training sessions, here at the UT or within your organisation;
  • Other teaching methods: The University of Twente involves companies and organisations in programmes by means of master classes, guest lectures, business cases and final thesis projects.

In-company training

From our areas of expertise in business and administration, engineering & technology, IT, life sciences & medicine, and natural and social sciences, we put together high-quality in-company training courses. This is always customised so that the training fits in perfectly with the needs of your team and organisation.

Example in-company training courses by Professional Learning & Development Centre:

Teacher and lecturer training courses

ELAN (in Dutch) is the UT's Institute for teacher training courses and the development of professional lecturers. ELAN provides:

Geo-information Science and Earth Observation

The faculty of Geo-information Science and Earth Observation (ITC), with its international orientation, offers a large number of courses, both in Enschede and abroad.

Chemistry and engineering sciences

Are you an engineer in the plastics processing or rubber industry? Expand your knowledge with a course in Extrusion, Process Technology or Rubber Technology at the University of Twente. Learn from experts and strengthen your practical and technical expertise alongside fellow professionals from industry.

Technical medicine

For alumni of the programmes in Biomedical Technology and Technical Medicine, as well as those for other medical specialists, nurses and other medical professionals, UT offers postgraduate courses on the cutting edge of medicine and technology. For more information see the TechMed Academy pages.

EngD: engineering Doctorate

An EngD could also be an attractive proposition for your company: Engineering Doctorate. This is a multidisciplinary designer who spends two years at the university following a post-master's course and works as a trainee on a concrete task formulated by a company. This may be an interesting option if your organisation is faced with a challenging design problem or wants to solve a technical problem.
