Master Industrial design engineering - University of Twente

The programme
The exact set of courses in your study programme is dependent on the master track to which you are subscribed as well as your own preferences. Each track contains a number of track-specific and core courses and a Master’s project in line with the track’s specialisation. Furthermore, a student can participate in a selection of Industrial Design Engineering courses and many others optional courses. At the beginning of the Master’s programme, each student discusses the courses of the individual Master’s programme and the Master’s project with the assigned track coordinator. Specific courses may be included in the Master’s programme to enable the student to complete the Master’s project successfully. The entire Master’s programme (courses and final project) requires approval from the track coordinator.
Examples of couses are: package design & management, brand management, 3d printing, advanced 3d moddeling, integrative design of medical products, product life cycle, multisensory design, grafic language of products, electric vehicle system design, safety by design, design and behavourachange, virtual reality, biomechanics, design for maintenance operation, ecc.

Specialisations
The Master’s programme focuses on the field of Industrial Design Engineering from three different perspectives. These perspectives are represented in the programme’s three specializations. While some overlap between the specializations is possible (and indeed welcomed), you will be encouraged to tailor the programme to your own interests and ambitions through your choice of specialization and electives.
Each specialization contains a number of core courses that reflect its central concerns and a Master’s project that reflects the nature of the specialization. You will also have the opportunity to participate in a wider selection of Industrial Design Engineering courses and some electives beyond the programme. In other words, as a Master’s student you will have ample opportunity to personalize your programme.
Your track coordinator will review your choice of subjects to make sure that your programme has enough coherence and depth before submitting it to the Programme Director for final approval.
