Study Engineering at Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Groningen

Our student Navod explains how the programme combines theory with hands-on work, and shares his current project on water pollution detection. He also talks about learning in an international classroom, preparing for a future career, and gives you a look inside our lab facilities.

Students Emilio and Zoe walk you through the Mechanical Engineering curriculum, including key subjects, lab work and study load. They also discuss the support they receive from teachers and peers, and how the programme’s flexibility helps them manage challenges.

Our lecturer Tondo reflects on Dutch teaching culture, project-based learning, and how students apply theory in real-world assignments for the industry. He also highlights innovative student projects, such as building race cars powered by renewable energy, and the strong job prospects for graduates.

Our students share how theory and practice come together in Hanze’s engineering Bachelor’s programmes - from core subjects in the curriculum to building projects like an electric bike rack. They also talk about working in labs and challenge common clichés, like the idea that you need to be a math genius to succeed in engineering.

Our alumnus and lecturer talk about career paths after engineering -ranging from AI consulting to sustainable energy, and working with companies during your studies through internships and graduation projects. They also discuss the strong demand for engineers in the Netherlands, and how Hanze helps you gain real experience before entering the job market.

Our alumnus and current CEO of Klippa shares how he co-founded a successful AI company after studying at Hanze, and what it's like to work in an international tech environment. He talks about the skills engineering students need today - like practical experience, teamwork, and initiative - and how internships help prepare for fast-changing, real-world careers.
