At the start of this Master’s, you need to choose one of the three specialisations.
You have a good deal of freedom in structuring your Master's in Industrial Design Engineering (IDE) with elective courses that suit your interests and ambitions. By working towards your ideal Master’s, you get to develop your own expertise and become the unique industrial design engineer you want to be.

In two years of study, you will collect 120 EC. 75 EC consists of courses and you will earn the remaining 45 EC in completing your master’s thesis. What your curriculum looks like, depends on the choices you make in composing your Master’s. There are two steps in doing so.
Student workload at Dutch universities is expressed in EC, also named ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System), which is widely used throughout the European Union. In the Netherlands, each credit represents 28 hours of work.
Before you start with your Master's, you need to choose a specialisation, in order to specialise within the field of Industrial Design Engineering. The Master’s in IDE has three specialisations:
After registering for your specialisation, you will compose your own study programme, in consultation with your track coordinator. Each specialisation contains a number of core courses and a master’s assignment that reflects the nature of the specialisation. Furthermore, you have the opportunity to participate in a wider selection of Industrial Design Engineering courses and even electives beyond the programme, both inside and outside of the University of Twente!
You are supposed to remain critical of the choices you made in composing your study programme. Your interests may shift during your studies, or you might think that a different elective would better suit your ambitions. That’s why you keep the opportunity to adjust your curriculum during the programme, in consultation with your track coordinator.
