According to Dutch law, one credit represents 28 hours of study and 60 EC represents one year of full-time study.

Course Overview

The academic calendar details the holidays taken into account. In the MSc Mechanical Engineering programme, you will choose a specialisation. Below is an overview of all the Mechanical Engineering courses, listed per specialisation. Please note that changes can be made in the quartiles of the courses.

Specialisations

The Master of Mechanical Engineering is finished with a master thesis assignment. The objective of this assignment is to deepen knowledge and use this for tackling a fundamental problem. Because Mechanical Engineering is a very broad discipline, it is necessary to choose a certain area for the assignment, therefore a specialisation has to be chosen. Within the master Mechanical Engineering, there are seven specialisations:

• Aeronautics
• Design and Manufacturing
• Energy and Flow
• Maintenance Engineering & Operations
• High-Tech Systems and Materials
• Personal Health Technology
• Smart Sustainable Industry
