After finishing your bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, there are several options on how to proceed. On this page, you will find the main master degree possibilities the UT offers you. Also, you can find information on international double degree programmes.
What master programmes can you enroll in
With a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, there are multiple master degree options open for you. You have automatic entry to the Master of Science programmes in Mechanical Engineering (ME), Sustainable Energy Technology (SET), Robotics (ROB) and Humanitarian Engineering (HE). For more information on the other possibilities, you could utilise the bachelor to master transfer matrix.
In case of transferring to the MSc ME, SET or ROB with a BSc ME:
- If you start in September or February, you have to register in Study Link. You don’t have to follow any of the other steps in the UT admission procedure.
- You can start in any other month than September or February (except July and August). When you have finished your BSc-programme you will be approached by the Education Office about your plan. If you indicate you want to continue in the master ME, SET or ROB, the Education Office will have you transferred. You don’t have to apply in Study Link or follow any of the other steps in the UT admission procedure.
In case of transferring to the MSc HE you can only start in September. You have to register in Study Link. You don’t have to follow any of the other steps in the UT admission procedure.
Please note
- You need to be graduated before you can start in the master programme. The bachelor-before-master regulation is in place (see https://www.utwente.nl/en/sgw/regulations/)
- In case you choose another programme than ME, SET, ROB or HE, you need to contact the programme of your choice about admission and enrolment
To plan the master programmes optimally, please submit this master preference form to give us an indication of student preferences. If you choose the MSc ME, you have to choose a specialisation. For more information on each specialisation see the MSc Mechanical Engineering programme structure.
Note that you can change your choice or ask for help finding your preferred programme.
double degree
If you are interested in completing a double master programme, there are two options for you. It is possible to follow both the Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics masters programme at ITA, or a double Mechanical Engineering programme at KAIST. These are both two-year international programmes where the University of Twente works in association with Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica and KAIST. View more information about our double degree.
