Description:

Using technology and innovation to improve healthcare.

Do you want to know all about new health technologies, such as using smartphone monitoring data to improve medical diagnostics, or developing computer simulation models that can help to minimize waiting times? Are you curious about the impact of such new technologies and how they can best be deployed? Would you like to be able to predict trends in healthcare, or to optimise care processes for the patient? If so, this Master’s in Health Sciences (HS) at the University of Twente (UT) may be the perfect choice for you.

This one-year, English-taught Master's educates health scientists who are able to design solutions to the challenges presented by modern healthcare. You will learn how to convert the results of fundamental and applied clinical research into modern customised healthcare solutions. To this end, you will be using new medical and information technologies including virtual reality, augmented reality, embodied monitoring, and pervasive and unobtrusive systems.

Start Master's in Health Sciences:

You start your studies in September. In case you need to follow the Pre-Master's first, you can start in September too.

Choose a specialisation:

As a student, you have a lot of freedom to tailor your Master’s to your own interests and ambitions. We offer you different kinds of specialisations and research orientations, so you can develop your own expertise.  

At the start of the Master’s you need to choose a specialisation. Your choice determines which courses you take and the type of research you are involved in during your master’s thesis. You can choose one of the three specialisations:  

  • Personalised monitoring and coaching

  • Optimisation of healthcare processes

  • Innovation in public health

Why choose Health Sciences?

  • A unique focus on healthcare and technology
    The University of Twente has an unparalleled focus on combining healthcare and technology. You will have the opportunity to work with leading researchers and scientists who share this focus. Furthermore, you will be able to work in our renowned research institute Technical Medical Centre.

  • You will learn to think critically about technology
    These days, almost everyone has an activity tracker around their wrist. We can see how long (and how well) we sleep, how many calories we burn and how much exercise we really have. But how reliable is this data, and how do we analyse it in such a way that we can really put it to good use? You will learn to take a critical approach to existing technology while also exploring new directions.

  • Your horizon will become (even) broader
    This Master will further broaden your choice of careers within the healthcare sector. There is a great need for health scientists with a keen understanding of technology and the ability to make sharp analyses and design solutions. The University of Twente prepares you to be the health scientist of the future: a professional capable of researching the value of new developments in healthcare and implementing them effectively. You will acquire new skills and knowledge that will give you a head start on the job market. In the course of your Master’s programme you can even choose to pursue a Lean Green Belt Certificate to further enhance your prospects.

  • You will be involved in ground-breaking research
    The University of Twente aims to be a university with a distinct societal impact. Consequently, a strong emphasis is put on relevant research, which is carried out in state-of-the-art facilities. Among these is the UT’s Centre for eHealth and Wellbeing Research, a leading research centre for personalized healthcare. Another example is the Technical Medical Centre, a unique and globally acknowledged institute where research, technology and the industry join forces to create, develop and test ground-breaking improvements and innovations for healthcare. As your Health Sciences teachers are also highly respected researchers, they will be able to tell you all about the latest developments. What’s more, you will be involved in excitingly relevant research yourself. Our lushly green campus with its decidedly international vibe will only add to your unforgettable student experience.

  • Your work matters
    As a health scientist, your research, analyses and outcomes are always focused on real-world problems. In other words, you work on solutions that will be actually applied in hospitals and health centres. Your analyses may help to determine how healthcare will be organized in the future.
