I’m dreaming of creating new products and successfully launching them in the market."
After my bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design, I wanted to learn more about commercializing technological products. The master's program in Innovation Management appealed to me because of the combination of technology, business administration, and innovation. The project I enjoyed the most was the design science course. It was one of the last courses I took, allowing me to combine all the knowledge from the previous courses. Our project team was ambitious, hard-working, and had a lot of fun together!
Although I originally didn't want to study in Eindhoven – I was born and raised here and wanted to discover a different environment – the programs at TU/e were the best fit for me. Choosing the right program over a new city turned out well. The TU/e community is warm and open, and you can feel that throughout the campus. I thoroughly enjoyed all the opportunities outside my studies as well. At TU/e, community and excellence are both equally important.
In the future, I would like to start my own company. Through my internship and contacts with startups during my graduation, I have a realistic understanding of what that means. My TU/e degree includes a well-balanced mix of business and technological knowledge, just what companies are looking for. But first I want to gain more experience in the corporate world.
