Mechanical Engineering

What does it take to build and optimise renewable energy systems, like wind turbines or heat pumps? How can you make smart material choices for the design of aircraft, machine parts, or medical equipment? You will learn this and much more during this Master's. It focuses on the design, analysis, and maintenance of machinery, structures, and products, as well as production processes. It covers the breadth of the field of mechanical engineering, addressing subareas like solid and fluid mechanics, materials science, control and robotics, design, manufacturing techniques, tribology, biomechanics, and more. You can develop your expertise by choosing one of the seven specialisations. As a mechanical engineer, you can pursue a career in a broad range of engineering positions, and in a wide variety of sectors, from manufacturing, energy, transport, aeronautics, automotive, consumer goods, and the maritime industry to the biomedical field.

Founded in 1961, the University of Twente is the only campus university in the Netherlands, offering an American-style campus experience. Known as the "entrepreneurial university" with over 1,000 spinoff companies, it specializes in technology and engineering with a strong focus on innovation and societal impact.
