Introduction

As a mechanical engineer, you have a firm grasp of the technology our society is built on.

Are you eager to create technological solutions that make a difference in our society? Do you dream of being an expert in inventing, designing, improving, and maintaining all kinds of machines, constructions, and processes? From a roller coaster, an airplane, or a sustainable energy installation to an innovative hearing aid, or the hinges for a robotic hand? Are you looking for a university where you can learn to integrate and apply mechanical engineering theory in realistic team projects? If you are, the three-year, English-taught Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering (ME) is the right choice for you.

Why study Mechanical Engineering?

Strong emphasis on practical application with hands-on projects

If you are looking for a bachelor's in which - besides acquiring scientific knowledge - you also get to work on practical projects, then Mechanical Engineering at UT is the right choice for you. In this program, you will gain all the scientific knowledge and skills you would expect from a bachelor's degree at a research university, but you will also learn to translate these into practical solutions in the projects. During the first module, for example, you and your team are going to design a mechanical tool, a solution for reducing the volume of plastic waste, or a volleyball cannon.

An international, interdisciplinary program at a leading technical university

UT, a world-class university of technology, offers the ideal environment for a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. Here, you will team up with experts in other disciplines. In one of the modules, for example, you will work together with Industrial Design Engineering and Industrial Engineering & Management students.

You will also benefit from the international character of this program, with students and professors from both the Netherlands and other European and non-European countries. You can spend part of your studies abroad, and the projects also deal with international topics. In one of the modules, for example, you will adapt a US power plant to Chinese practice, looking at environmental concerns and regulations in addition to technology.

A program with above-average personal guidance

Education at the University of Twente is known to be personal and informal, and this Bachelor's is no different. We have an open-door policy and you will receive more individual attention and guidance than at most other universities. The atmosphere between lecturers and students is friendly and informal: you can always approach someone with your questions. Together with our active study association W.S.G. Isaac Newton, we continuously improve our education and organize all kinds of study-related activities. Here, you will live your student life to the fullest and grow both professionally and personally!

Benefit from excellent job opportunities

The demand for mechanical engineers who combine scientific knowledge with practical skills is increasing both in the Netherlands and abroad. Especially if you complete a master's program after your bachelor's - in Mechanical Engineering or a related subject - you will almost certainly find a good job soon after graduation. Most of our master's students have a job as an engineer within two or three months after graduation. As a mechanical engineer, you have excellent career opportunities in a variety of sectors.
