Further studies and job market

After the Bachelor’s Creative Technology, you can immediately enter the job market or you can further specialise with a master’s. Most graduates take the second option, signing up for a master’s at the University of Twente after their third bachelor’s year. Some students choose to launch their own business.

Further studies: the Master’s Interaction Technology

Most CreaTe alumni enter the two-year, English-taught Master’s Interaction Technology at the University of Twente. With your CreaTe Bachelor’s degree you have direct access to this master’s. It focuses on intelligent, socially aware, interactive systems that meet the needs of users (human-machine interaction and artificial intelligence).

Other Master’s that are a good fit

With a CreaTe Bachelor’s degree, you will be admissible to most engineering and technology master’s at the UT. This also applies to master’s at other (inter)national universities. Sometimes a customised pre-master’s may be necessary.

Start your own business

You can also start your own business with a solution that you have developed. The UT is recognised as ‘the most entrepreneurial university’ in the Netherlands. Applying our expertise by developing solutions that are meaningful to society is one of our strengths. Together with our students, we work closely with the innovation specialists at Novel-T, who like to get involved in to promising innovative business cases.

A number of students successfully started a company for example Homey -a talking home automation system- set-up by two CreaTe students. View the video below (dating from 2018) to see how their journey began. Since then, the company has grown exponentially. In 2024, they proudly became a part of LG Electronics. 

At CreaTe, you learn by doing product development in small teams, from intial idea to proof-of-concept. This way of working together in a small team, using everyone's personal strengths to realize ideas, is something that is super useful. Combined with the start-up focused business courses it's what helped us found and grow Homey, and ultimately exit it to LG Electronics.

Other students launched AER, a huge dart-like solution with which you can safely throw a GoPro camera up in the air to take the best aerial shots.

This entrepreneurial urge to create ground-breaking solutions will help you make a difference as a CreaTe alumnus.
