Bachelor College
TU/e trains the engineers of the future. Tomorrow’s engineers are aware of the challenges awaiting us in the area of Sustainability. That is why TU/e strives to make this theme part of every Bachelor’s degree program, among others in the User, Society, Enterprise (USE) section of the first and second years of every Bachelor.
The Bachelor College leaves you lots of freedom to select subjects that you really find interesting, which means that you can make a choice from several subjects in the field of Sustainability. In the second year you decide on a USE package. In a similar way, there will be a wide choice of Sustainability themes, such as The Future of Mobility, Quality of Life, The Secret Life of Light, or Design for a Sustainable Future.
MAJORS
TU/ provides a number of Bachelor’s degree programs in the area of Sustainability. Are you looking for a program that will teach you everything about the introduction of sustainable technologies? TU/e offers the Major Sustainable Innovation.
ELECTIVE COURSES
Within the Bachelor’s program you are free to devote 45 credits to elective courses. Of course, you can decide on a package with a special focus on Sustainability! While the offer varies per year, you can think of sustainable electrives in the fields of Energy, Designing the City of Tomorrow, Smart and Sustainable Societies, or Smart Mobility Design.
Also check out the website of Technology for Global Develoment (TGD) for an overview of Sustainability elements you can add to your TU/e Bachelor's degree program, and even obtain the Technology for Sustainable Development certificate during your Bachelor’s or Master’s degree program!
THEMATIC LEARNING AREAS (TLAs)
Thematic Learning Areas (TLAs) consist of a selection of courses grouped around a particular theme (i.e. Sustainability). The courses are offered by different departments so that students can broaden their horizon. Within each individual TLA, several combination of courses (learning paths) are offered. Students can choose one learning path or select their own courses.
