Programme profile
The programme is a collaboration of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and the University of Twente.
Mechanical engineers devise, design, make and improve all kinds of machines, constructions, processes and technologies. They can be deployed wherever social issues need high-tech solutions. These solutions might involve new technologies in the care sector, the use of drones for our safety, working on the development of a fuel-efficient hydrogen car that can reduce the use of fossil fuels, and mobile devices and e-bikes that simplify our lives. In short, mechanical engineering is a broadly-based technical degree programme that's highly innovative and has real social relevance.
During this programme, you'll put into practice the theory you learn from tutorials and lectures. You'll work with groups of students on high-tech designs that are beneficial for people and society: an innovative blood pressure monitor, an e-bike or a waste-collection vehicle for a festival site, for example. You and your team might sometimes even deliver a genuine working prototype!
Programme content
The four semesters in first two years of the programme each have a specific theme:
- Smart factories/manufacturing
- Energy transition and sustainability
- Resilience and maintenance
- Technology for healthcare
In your first year, you'll study mathematics & modelling, mechanics & materials science, design & production and thermodynamics & life cycle analysis.
In your second year, you'll study mathematics & modelling, dynamics, plastics, physics of fluids and control systems engineering.
Finally, in your third year, you'll take a minor of your choice and work on your graduation research
