ET - Industrial Design Engineering

Regarding your background & the subjects of the courses you can choose
Please read this text.
Regarding pre-requisites:
Note that admittance to any module or course is always subject to fulfilment of the pre-requisites of that module or course, which can be found in the course catalogue. If the module information is not yet available for the upcoming academic year, please search under the previous academic year.
Also note that our programmes in Industrial Design Engineering have more 'engineering' content than a lot of industrial design programmes in the world. Therefore, the expected pre-knowledge for the modules and courses given below include an extensive amount of 'engineering' and 'mathematical' basic skills. Having just 'design skills' is therefore in general not sufficient as pre-knowledge, even if you are a BSc graduate in Industrial Design.

  • Bachelor level

    Below you can find the modules open to Exchange students. These modules are well-balanced, structured sets of courses created around a theme and need to be taken as a whole. You cannot choose separate courses. The modules consist of 15 ECTS per block. Please therefore select one module per block in your application form. 

    If a module is not mentioned below, you cannot choose it, even when visible in the course catalogue. Next to one of the modules of Engineering Technology, you are allowed to choose one module of another faculty. For example, the study program of Industrial Engineering and Management from our BMS faculty could also be interesting for you?

  • Master level

    The MSc programme in Industrial Design Engineering has three specialisations. Below you can find for each specialisation a suggested Exchange Course Package (ESP), composed of a selection of courses. These are sugggested packages, you are allowed to choose other courses outside these packages. But do be aware that within these specialisations the time schedule is aligned. We cannot guarantee so when choosing courses from separate specializations. 

    Please also pay attention to the faculty in which the course is given and keep in mind the 60/40% rule
