ET - Humanitarian Engineering

  • Bachelor Level

    The UT offers a dedicated minor in the field: Humanitarian Engineering (202400016).
    This minor is open to all students, without any pre-knowledge requirements.

    Next to the minor, 3rd year Bsc students are also allowed to take the Msc courses from Q1:
    - Introduction to Humanitarian Engineering (5 ECTS)
    - CBL-project Humanitarian Engineering (5 ECTS) - can only be followed in combination with 'Introduction to Humanitarian Engineering'
    - Ethics & Science in Humanitarian Engineering (5ECTS)

    Courses of Humanitarian Engineering relate to and can be combined with courses from:
    - Sustainable Energy Technology (3rd year Bsc students can follow 1st year courses from SET)
    - Spatial Engineering (not sure yet if Bsc students are allowed to take Msc courses from SE). 

  • Master Level

    Regular courses
    This new MSc programme in Humanitarian Engineering offers a diverse range of courses tailored to this field. In the first year, you will take core courses specific to Humanitarian Engineering, while the second year provides the flexibility to choose elective courses from other programmes. As a result, exchange students can check out the first year courses within this programme. A good way of choosing related topics is by checking out the courses in Sustainable Energy Technology and Spatial Engineering as well.

    In Q1, the course: CBL-project, can only be combined with the introductory course in Humanitarian Engineering (course code 202200310).
    In case you wish to combine courses from other study programmes, the courses in the fields of:
    - Sustainable Energy Technology
    - Spatial Engineering
    might suit this topic well.

    If you are considering an exchange semester, some prior knowledge of technology—particularly in mathematics and statistics—may be required. We encourage you to review the programme curriculum for further details.

    Master-Insert courses:
    Next to our regular programme, the UT offers so-called Master-Insert courses: Shaping Responsible Futures programmes. 
    You'll learn to transcend disciplinary boundaries. You'll connect science to society by collaborating with real-world stakeholders. And, you'll build confidence as a responsible change-maker.
    (You'll need an additional registration for these courses. Once approved by the Exchange Coordinator on your Learning Agreement, you can register for these courses through the Master-Insert link).
