Bachelor Advanced Technology

The fact that you are looking into studying at a technical university means that you want to do ‘something with technology’. But will it be electrical engineering, mathematics, or maybe nanotechnology? After graduating, do you see yourself working in mechanical engineering, process technology, or mechatronics? With this Bachelor’s degree, you can do all of these things! If you want to cover a broad range of disciplines in science & engineering, Advanced Technology is the right fit for you. You will become familiar with many different technical fields and will build your own, unique profile of expertise and skills based on the topics you find interesting. You will also be challenged to think outside the box and broaden your skills in extracurricular activities - whether that is getting your teaching certificate, studying abroad or joining one of UT’s multidisciplinary student teams. Whatever it is that you are interested in, you will get the room to explore it. 

Advanced Technology at UT is the most varied technical Bachelor’s in the Netherlands, which will give you a head start on other Bachelor of Science graduates. During your studies, you will receive broad training from multidisciplinary perspectives. Think, for example, of subjects like nanotechnology, robotics and mechatronics, as well as big data, the energy transition and sustainable technology. If, after graduating, you join a project team that includes e.g. mechanical engineers, industrial managers and electrical engineers, you will be the one who has an overall, objective view of the project. You will be equipped to take part in the project from start to finish, rather than focusing on a specific part and then handing it over to the next specialist. As a graduate, you will be skilled in analysing questions from various angles and speaking the language of very different disciplines, which gives you a unique position on the job market. 

With a three-year technical programme tailored to your interests, chances are high this Bachelor's gives you direct access to the master’s of your choice – not just at UT, but also at other universities in the Netherlands and abroad. If you make the right choices in your third year, you will be admissible to most technical master’s programmes without following a pre-master's programme. Various Advanced Technology graduates have been admitted to renowned universities for their master’s degree; think of the University of Cambridge and ETH in Zurich.
