The Master in Innovative Textile Development trains you to become an expert in textile innovation and after graduation, you hold a Master of Science degree. The unique feature is a focus on innovation in textiles in the broadest sense: both technical textiles and textiles for clothing. With this, it provides a unique master's program in the Netherlands and Western Europe. It will give an excellent springboard to the international textile market.

The Master of Science in Applied Nanotechnology is unique in the Netherlands. The most distinguishing feature is its focus on the development of innovative micro- and nanotechnology-based products and applications. The fusion of elements from biology, chemistry, electrical engineering and physics results in nanotechnological materials and devices with unprecedented properties. The programme only starts in September and is taught entirely in English.

Despite the immense potential of Big Data, many companies are blind to the value of the data they create. It is time for that to change - and our Data Science programme equips you with the skills to drive this change. You will be able to provide important insights into business processes and discover opportunities to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Analyze and make decisions that will lead companies to its maximum growth.

Smart technology has already become a staple in our everyday lives and with the further development of artificial intelligence and the internet of things, our relationship with technology will only continue to increase. But like any relationship, our relationship with technology requires clear communication - which is where the Human Computer Interaction and Design (HCID) comes in. By developing intuitive user interfaces and easy-to-use interactive systems, HCID facilitates how we ‘talk’ to our smart devices. With the EIT Digital master's programme in Human Computer Interaction and Design, you will get the skills and knowledge needed to design the systems that define this interaction.

Businesses and organizations today need creative, multidisciplinary managers who combine technological know-how with engineering and management skills. Do you see yourself taking on such a role in, for example, production and logistics, healthcare, and/or financial engineering? Are you excited about using simulations, and mathematical and/or statistical models to solve problems and improve the performance of (international) organizations?

Delve into the field of human-computer interaction and design and develop interactive technologies that are meaningful to people and society. In today’s 21st century, modern technology is integrated into our daily lives more than ever before. But none of the advanced technologies we use today would have been successful if humans failed to interact with them. Human-computer interaction is one of the most important considerations in any kind of technological development. So how can you include the user in the development of new, interactive technologies?

Become an expert mechanical engineer who focuses on the futureproof design, analysis, and maintenance of machinery, structures, products, and production processes. Energy systems, production machinery, airplanes, automobiles, ships, medical devices: many systems and products that are essential to our modern life are in some way a product of mechanical engineering.

The MasterPlus programme provides you with additional expertise in the fields of Photonics and Optics. With this programme you are prepared to help improve our everyday lives and solve big problems, from revolutionising healthcare and safety to shaping renewable energy and more. 

Become a mathematical problem solver able to tackle challenging issues from technology to healthcare. Can you predict when something goes viral? How do you model 5G? What happens in your brain when an epileptic seizure occurs? These questions all have one thing in common: mathematics is the way to come up with answers.

Become a sustainable technology pioneer who develops and implements novel, sustainable energy technologies and transitions that are needed in tomorrow’s world. With an ever-growing global population and the energy demands of industries and consumers rising higher than ever before in history, we are rapidly depleting earth’s non-renewable energy resources (oil, gas and coal), and moving to a problematic change of climate.

Deepen your understanding of the laws of physics to find technical solutions in a wide range of areas such as sustainability, healthcare, energy, digitalization, finance, space, high-tech manufacturing, and more. Can you imagine building electronic systems that are almost as energy efficient as the neurons in our brains? Or encryption technology that makes credit card payments impossible to crack? What about making solar panels significantly more efficient, or medical imaging techniques faster, and more accurate? What opportunities could a quantum computer offer?

Contribute to better healthcare by designing and developing medical innovations for improved diagnostics, treatment, rehabilitation, prevention, and a better quality of life. Can you think of friendlier, less painful, or less harmful methods to detect breast cancer, or to perform an endoscopy? Can you pave the way for animal-free drug testing by developing mini organ-on-a-chip models, that can mimic an actual human organ, like a heart or liver? And what about detecting complex diseases like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s at an early stage, or developing an exoskeleton to train paralyzed patients to walk?

Shape the future of electronics by developing novel electronic devices and systems, from circuits to sustainable energy technologies. Electrical engineering is the foundation of technological progress in many fields, such as healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, aerospace, and the automotive industry. Do you want to push the boundaries of what is possible in electrical engineering? Think of innovating chip architecture, researching alternative components to replace transistors in current electronic devices, and making 3D-printed sensors. What about improving medical imaging technologies like MRI and X-rays and developing implantable and wearable medical devices? Electrical engineering also plays a pivotal role in the ongoing energy transition, offering you immense opportunities to contribute to our future. You can enhance solar cell efficiency, facilitate sustainable chip manufacturing processes, and optimize power grids for compatibility with renewable sources like solar and wind energy. If you want to engage in impactful research and innovative technologies that will shape the future of electronics, the Master’s in Electrical Engineering at the University of Twente is the right choice for you!

Contribute to advanced solutions in industrial processes by designing the software and hardware of complex embedded systems in vehicles, pacemakers, chipsets, and other devices. The design of embedded systems is at the core of technological and industrial progress. Embedded systems are building blocks of medical devices, automobiles, industrial machinery, and GPS systems. Even your car’s antilock braking system (ABS) is an embedded system. The design of such systems is crucial for their functionality. If an embedded system can't perform the required task in time with the required quality, this has an immediate effect on the safety of the person. Furthermore, cost- and energy efficiency are crucial.

Become a ‘designeer’ and enrich people’s lives with new and/or better products while continuously improving the development processes involved. In your daily life, without realising, you are continuously surrounded by products. But who designed these products? Why are they shaped the way they are? What user demands do they meet, what processes lie behind the development and what technologies are involved in that process?
