Information for prospective students

Bachelor's programmes

The Faculty of Engineering Technology offers three BSc programmes, which are all taught in English.

Master's programmes

The Faculty of Engineering Technology offers six English-taught MSc programmes. The programmes in Civil Engineering, Industrial Design Engineering and Mechanical Engineering are natural continuations of the corresponding BSc programmes and allow students to specialise within a specific sub-discipline of these fields.

The MSc programmes in Construction Management & Engineering and Sustainable Energy Technology have been developed in collaboration with partners both within the University of Twente and at the two other Dutch universities of technology (4TU).

The MSc programme in Humanitarian Engineering is offered in partnership with the BMS and ITC faculties, with ET acting as the coordinating faculty. ET also collaborates with EEMCS on the MSc programme in Robotics, although EEMCS is the lead faculty for this programme.

PhD and EngD programmes

Twente Graduate School (TGS) coordinates all doctoral programmes at the University of Twente. You can either pursue a career in scientific research, leading to a PhD degree or opt for a more practical, design-oriented Engineering Doctorate (EngD).

PhD PROGRAMMES

Different from most of the world, doctorate-level education (PhD programmes) in the Netherlands is offered in the framework of an employment contract, and PhD students are considered employees. As such, in most cases, you will have to check the vacancies website to find a position.

EngD programmes

The Faculty is participating in several post-graduate designer programmes called Engineering Doctorate (EngD). For more information, go to Engineering Doctorate (EngD).
