What you will do after obtaining your Master’s degree in Health Sciences depends entirely on your personal preferences.
Here are four routes you can take.

Follow a PhD or EngD programme
After you have successfully finished your Master’s in Health Sciences, a PhD or EngD programme at Twente Graduate School (TGS) could be an interesting possibility for you. A PhD involves spending four years studying a particular research area in-depth at one of our research institutes. Typically, you will already be working on your PhD research topic or proposal during the last part of the Master’s programme. An extracurricular Research Honours programme can also be integrated. When you successfully obtain your PhD, you will be awarded the title of Doctor (Dr).
For excellent professionals and graduates with a master’s degree from a university, TGS offers five different Engineering Doctorate, or EngD, programmes.
