job opportunities
As a health scientist, specialised in the development, implementation and evaluation of eHealth applications, you will have a valuable position in the job market. With your knowledge and expertise, you will be the linking pin between IT developers and healthcare organisations. You might for example work as a product owner at an IT company that develops eHealth solutions, a project leader or policy adviser within a healthcare organisation, focusing on the implementation of eHealth within healthcare processes, or as a (junior) researcher at a knowledge institution. Or what about working at a consultancy agency, guiding healthcare organisations, insurance companies or any other organisation in the healthcare sector in leveraging digital health solutions? There’s a great variety of roles you can take on!
Many organisations are looking for professionals with your expertise. From eHealth developers and IT companies like PinkRoccade, Topicus, Philis, Nedap, Chipsoft, KPN Health and Sensirion and consultancy agencies like KPMG, IG&H, and HHM, to hospitals or care providers like MST, ZGT, and Carintreggeland and insurance companies such as a.s.r. Some graduates of this specialisation, who previously followed a care-related degree like physiotherapy or nursing, went on to apply their eHealth knowledge in their daily jobs within healthcare or even in teaching their future colleagues in e.g. physiotherapy, health sciences or nursing study programmes in higher education.
Start a business
At UT, we highly encourage entrepreneurship. This University is the birthplace of a large number of high-tech spin-off companies that market developed technologies. You could use your research or even inventions stemming from your master’s thesis and/or your PhD research to start up your own innovative company as well!

continue as a researcher: obtain a PhD
Instead of pursuing a professional career right away after completing your Master’s degree, you can opt to follow a PhD programme at Twente Graduate School (TGS). This involves spending four years studying a particular research area in-depth at one of our research institutes. Obtaining your PhD earns you the title of Doctor (Dr).
