Solve current issues using innovative technology

So you’ve graduated from Mechanical Engineering—now what?

After the bachelor Mechanical Engineering, most students choose to continue studying, but you can also work in industry. You have a good connection to various master's programs at technical universities such as University of Twente, TU Delft, or a master's at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

On completing this programme, you have all the tools you need as a mechanical engineer of the future. You learn analytical skills and technical knowledge, but also the creativity required to make an impact on society. You can conduct a comprehensive analysis, compile and calculate a package of requirements, and produce a final product—everything you need to get to the bottom of a technological problem and come up with an inventive solution.
