Quick Facts:

• The transition from pre-university education to the Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering has its challenges. To help you overcome them, we offer a balanced introduction programme: Twente Introduction to Mechanical Engineering, or ‘TIME’ (we’re the only Bachelor’s in ME in The Netherlands that does this). TIME will help you convert your knowledge of mathematics and physics to mechanical engineering from the very first week. You will soon feel perfectly at home with the problem-solving mindset that is essential in this field of study. The TIME programme increases your chances of succeeding in your studies. It also gives you a quick overview of the learning trajectories that run through this course, such as Mechanics, Materials, Energy, Design and Academic Skills. You will discover how to study in a way that allows you to remember tomorrow what you learn today – a vital ability in Mechanical Engineering, as you will need the knowledge you gradually acquire over and over again.
• The demand for mechanical engineers who combine scientific knowledge with practical skills is increasing both in The Netherlands and abroad. Especially if after the Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering you complete a master’s – in Mechanical Engineering or a related subject – you are almost guaranteed to quickly find a good job. Most of our master’s students find jobs as engineers within 2 or 3 months of graduating. As a mechanical engineer, you will be a respected professional with excellent career opportunities.
