Doctoral Degree connected to Industry

Our PhDs and EngD candidates bring scientific research onto the workfloor.

PhD

To take advantage of opportunities to collaborate with industry, it is important that a university, from an international perspective, build a distinctive position based on scientific quality. Research investments with a specific industrial interest are therefore in line with the university's scientific strategy.

An industrial doctoral degree program is a PhD program that involves research at the interface of applied and scientific research. Such a PhD is usually employed by the UT.

EngD

EngD candidates (Engineering Doctorate, former PDEng) attend a two-year post-master's design programme at the University of Twente. The programme is designed in collaboration with the relevant industry. There are five EngD programmes: Business & IT, Civil Engineering, Energy & Process Technology, Maintenance, and Robotics.

The programmes combine scientific research with an industrial context, enabling trainees to develop high-quality, innovative designs for the commissioning party in the event of complex, multidisciplinary problems. Visit our EngD webpage for companies for more information.
