You convert this knowledge into smart, practical solutions that make life more pleasant or even completely different. You learn to reflect on the impact that technology has on society and receive lessons in modern labs from top scientists who share the latest scientific developments with you.
Studying CreaTe: Amsterdam and Enschede, what about that?
The VU CreaTe students have their own classroom at the VU, where they attend most lectures and working groups. We use our VU Makerspace for some of the practicals. In the Makerspace, you can also further develop your own technical skills under the guidance of a dedicated technician.
Our students also regularly travel to the UT Enschede, mainly to follow practicals that are optimally utilised in the Twente labs. During these days, students from UT and VU work together a lot. We try to schedule consecutive lecture days in Enschede to make your stay as efficient as possible. For example, in the first months, until the end of December, students will visit the campus in Enschede four times this academic year, for a total of seven days. Looking at the year schedule you will spend around 20 nights in Twente. During these visits you can spend the night on the UT campus in the log cabins. Most CreaTe students see these visits as a positive part of their studies, both in terms of content and for fun.
In short: you will spend most of your time studying in Amsterdam, but you will receive your diploma from the University of Twente: a full-fledged Bachelor of Science in Engineering.
