If you choose Sustainable Innovation you’ll combine courses on, for example, economics of innovation, transition studies and research methods and -projects.The core program is completed with a number of technology courses. You can choose from the following specializations:
Elective courses
A quarter of the Bachelor’s program consists of elective courses that you can choose yourself. These allow you to change the emphasis in your program. You can opt to broaden your knowledge by following courses in a different specialization, or alternatively you can gain more in-depth knowledge in your own specialization.
On average you’ll spend a third of your time on technology subjects, a third on social sciences subjects and a third on research methods and practical assignments.
ITEC
As an engineer, it is important to be aware of the impact technology has on people and society. During your bachelor's program, you will therefore follow an Impact of Technology program (ITEC)
Professional & Personal Development
We believe it is important that you develop your own professional identity during your studies. You do this by acquiring academic knowledge and course-specific skills, but also by developing self- and social awareness. To help you do this, you will follow a Professional & Personal Development (P&PD) course during your studies.
