Programme overview

Developed in collaboration with external organisations, these specialised programmes aim to prepare you as an advanced technological designer. Integrating university education (~60 EC) with hands-on industry design (~60 EC), our Post-Master EngD programmes blend academic research seamlessly into a professional setting. This unique approach offers education across various relevant subjects, ensuring a holistic learning experience.

During the practical phase of the programme, you will spend your time working in industry on a challenging and innovative technological design project – a real problem that needs to be solved. In this design project, you will transfer knowledge and research results into technological innovation in industry and society. Throughout the project, you will be supervised by engineers from industry as well as by university staff. In that way, you will gain scientific knowledge, practical design experience and project management expertise at the same time. After successfully completing an EngD programme, you are entitled to use the academic title of Engineering Doctorate (EngD).
