Program Overview
University Program Information
The University of Twente offers a Bachelor's program in Creative Technology, which is also available at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam due to a collaboration between the two universities.
Program Description
The Bachelor's in Creative Technology is a broad program that combines maths, programming, design, prototyping, and testing. It allows students to work with technology while discovering their interests. The program consists of four modules per year, each ending with a project where students work in groups.
Learning Experience
Students enjoy the hands-on approach of the program, where they apply theoretical knowledge to real-world problems. For example, one project involved designing something to make the environment smarter, and a group came up with the idea to improve cyclists' and pedestrians' safety in Amsterdam by installing sensor-powered LED strips on sidewalks.
Collaboration and Facilities
The collaboration between the University of Twente and the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam provides students with access to facilities at both universities. Students can choose to work on projects at either university, allowing them to experience different environments and bond with other students.
Extracurricular Activities
Students are involved in various extracurricular activities, such as being on the board of the study association or working as a teaching assistant. These activities help students develop their skills and interests outside of the regular curriculum.
Future Prospects
After completing the Bachelor's in Creative Technology, students can pursue a Master's degree, such as the Master's in Interaction Technology. The program provides a solid foundation for a career in technology, and students can explore their interests and strengths throughout their studies.
