The program provokes learning in the direction of 5 areas of expertise, namely Business & Entrepreneurship, Creativity & Aesthetics, Technology & Realization, Data & Computing, User & Society. On top of the development in the field, the Technical University obliges the taking of basic engineering subjects such as Calculus and Physics. In my opinion, the program can be called rather Intelligent Interactive Product, as subjects such as exploratory sketching and modeling of 3D structures and physical prototypes are electives and are expected to be acquired as knowledge in self-disciplinary training in various group design projects over the years. Moreover, the program gives the freedom for the student of choosing electives from other technical departments thus allowing the broader specialization of the future designers.

I believe this university does not simply provide a ton of theory with no practical use but attempts to ground its curriculum in what is needed in the field, improving its courses each year in order to keep them relevant. The campus is big and provides very modern facilities. The university encourages its students to take an active role in their development, providing plenty of options in terms of student teams and associations for the more ambitious.

Thoroughly enjoyed my time at the university. The staff was supportive on most occasions in providing constructive feedback to the students. Most of the course content was great, with extra emphasis on practical assignments that I really enjoyed. Extracurricular facilities were good as well. The only improvement that could be done is the involvement of internationals in several student associations (which I feel still have a majority of the Dutch representation).

This university is situated in the tech-savvy region of Eindhoven. This has a direct influence on courses and teaching style. Assignments are almost always designed by a company, making them applicable in the real world. There exists an extensive sporting avenue on campus which houses more than a hundred sports.

The university offers a very diverse study programma, and their “Bachelor College” system is very thought through and a lot of Universities can learn from this.
It simplifies things as timetables but also streamlines cross-bachelor studies and examinations.
Next to this, the campus offers a lot of facilities: you can sleep, shop, eat, study, work out and even go to a barber on campus. Also, the location is great!

In the Master’s program of Operations Management and Logistics, students collaborate with industries for conducting their thesis projects. This approach enhances their theoretical knowledge as well as improves their practical and professional skills. The workplace and other facilities at the University set the right mood for the students to focus on studies. The program structures are well defined and the students are guided by mentors sufficiently. International students are given enough support (accommodation, language and administration) to feel comfortable enough in their pursuit.
