BSc Advanced TechnologyAdd to shortlist

Programme profile

Advanced Technology is a unique programme and is only offered at the University of Twente. It is a distinctive programme because you don't limit yourself to one specific technology or discipline. Following in the footsteps of your famous predecessor, da Vinci, you will focus your research on several areas: electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, applied physics, business administration, marketing etc. Your research will be application-driven. You will develop technologies which meet the demands of society and our (knowledge-driven) economy, and which can be of practical use in our vastly-changing world.

This programme focuses on all aspects of society that require technological innovation. This means you may work on projects at the world-famous MESA+ Nanotechnology Research Institute, or contribute to new technologies such as 'Lab-on-a-Chip'- developed by a spin-off company, Lionix - or play a part in other socially-oriented projects and research

Programme content

Year 1 provides you with a solid theoretical foundation for the rest of the programme. You will become acquainted with basic disciplines and will discover the integration between subject areas such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, electrical engineering and business administration. You will develop experimental skills by means of laboratory practice and projects, during which, for example, you will develop accelerometers and solar cells.

In Year 2, you will learn how to become an application-driven innovator, through research, design or consultancy projects. Your knowledge and skills will help you to translate discoveries into inventions that offer a solution to a social or commercial problem. In the second year, you will also take electives.

The third year prepares you for admission to your preferred Masters programme. To this end you chose three modules that match your preferences. The third year is concluded with the bachelor assignment, where you show that you obtained the right level to continue with a Masters programme.
