Bachelor College and Graduate School

With a view to the future, TU/e has begun a major educational reform. The Bachelor's and Master's programs remain but are being incorporated in a Bachelor College and Graduate School respectively. Students will be given more freedom and can even choose to follow a broad-based program with society-oriented subjects or opt for a very specialized science program.

Advanced quality research

With advanced quality research, the university contributes to the progress of technical sciences and thus the development of technological innovations. We focus on areas in which we participate in the international scientific community. This can play an important role. The TU/e wants to give significant impetus to the knowledge-intensive industries and other social sectors with a high or rapidly evolving technology-intensity.

Knowledge Valorisation

The TU/e puts emphasis on knowledge valorisation: research results are translated into successful innovations and serve as a basis for creating new products, processes and enterprises. We encourage students and staff to opt for entrepreneurship.

Mission TU/e

With this profile, the TU/e profiles itself as a leading, international, in engineering science & technology specialized university. We offer excellent teaching and research and thereby contribute to the advancement of technical sciences and research to the developing of technological innovations and the growth of wealth and prosperity both in its own region (technology & innovation hotspot Eindhoven) and beyond.

The Innovation Management Master's program focuses on the issues of how to analyze, design and manage new product processes in technology-driven firms. Because in today’s turbulent business environment where innovation often involves (quasi) external acquisition of technology and/or close collaboration with customers, suppliers and competitors, open innovation is a vital perspective. The program also pays attention to other forms of new business development, including entrepreneurship and new venturing, i.e. how established firms spin off promising business initiatives. As part of an industrial engineering school we focus on the operational processes of innovation and emphasize the ability to analyze and (re)design innovation processes for maximum effectiveness and efficiency. This focus sets us apart from other schools offering innovation programs like Erasmus University. Furthermore, the knowledge and skills you will learn will make you, as an individual, an important factor in enhancing any firm’s innovation capacity. Developing successful innovations involves many challenges. For example, selecting high-opportunity projects at an early stage and preventing heavy investments in poor innovations or the dilemma that exploiting current technology may prevent firms from simultaneously developing new technology, whereas focusing on exploring new technologies may cause firms to falter in exploiting current capabilities. Another example is the "open innovation" approach, where firms collaborate extensively in their innovation process with many partners. It helps them to control costs and provides them access to important complementary knowledge. However, this "open innovation" approach is complex. It has created many new challenges such as finding suitable partners, developing relational capabilities, and... [-]
