Become a ‘designeer’ and enrich people’s lives with new and/or better products while continuously improving the development processes involved.

In your daily life, without realising, you are continuously surrounded by products. But who designed these products? Why are they shaped the way they are? What user demands do they meet, what processes lie behind the development and what technologies are involved in that process? That’s what the Master’s in Industrial Design Engineering (IDE) at the University of Twente (UT) is all about.

This two-year, English-taught Master’s enables you to become a ‘designeer’, an industrial design engineer who does not only know how to design and engineer a (part of a) product, but goes beyond that. With in-depth, scientific insights, you will learn to oversee the whole design and engineering process and know how to continuously develop and improve the products and the processes involved. In the end, it’s about developing products that enrich people’s lives.
