International internship opportunities
A period at a university outside of the Netherlands is a possible component of your second year. This will help you to expand your knowledge and broaden your perspective on the interaction between humans and technology. During this period, you will attend lectures or collaborate on a research project that connects to your studies at TU/e. The HTI program has strong ties with leading universities abroad.
Project options
Following your international studies, you will spend the rest of the second year working on the remaining courses and your graduation research. The graduation research takes half a year. You conduct your research individually and are supervised by a researcher from the HTI group. You can do your research at the university but also at a company or public institution. Your project will focus on a new research question concerning the interaction between humans and technology.
