HIGH TECH HUMAN TOUCH

Our view of the world, in which you work or will work has led us to a unique vision on education - and on the kind of scientists, engineers, and professionals our future will need. We are facing challenges that are more complex than any mankind has faced before. Solving those problems calls for creative, cross-disciplinary thinking - which is why you will learn to combine technology and engineering with behavioural and social sciences. No matter in which research field and which programme, training or course you follow, we strongly encourage you to cross boundaries, connect disciplines.
