Master Next Level Engineering
If you are an innovative technical Bachelor student looking for a challenge, our one-year Master Next Level Engineering (MNLE) programme is a good match! The MNLE will equip you to work with a system and data perspective embedding new technologies or methodologies in companies and organizations working towards meaningful change with real impact. The assignments are project-based, and you will work collaboratively within learning teams.
The MNLE is a program for ambitious students with a study load of at least 40 hours per week. To complete the master successfully, you need to keep up with its high pace. You’ll work intensively in teams, interacting closely with fellow students and teaching staff.
The MNLE consists of two tracks:
- Focus on understanding and designing complex socio-technical systems in uncertain and dynamic environments.
- Work on systems involving multiple stakeholders, interactions, and evolving challenges e.g., in energy, mobility, and AI in organizations.
- Roles are typically innovation, strategy, and systems-oriented positions bridging technology, people, and decision-making.
- Focus on technical system development.
- Work on algorithms, sensors, robotics hardware, autonomy.
- Roles are typically engineering and system development.

"It was appealing that this programme was very practically oriented"
Tjelvar van Zuijlen (23)student
I followed a Bachelor programme in Amsterdam and I was looking for a way to distinguish myself from other Bachelor students. I heard about this Master and I did not know exactly what to expect from the programme. It was appealing that this programme was very practically oriented.
I have learned most from the research project that we conducted for a research group in an interdisciplinary student team. I have learned for instance to take a step back when I am asked to solve a certain problem. To not only think how, but also and mostly what and why? We’ve really been able to shape the project ourselves and it was necessary to broaden our view to take into account more and different perspectives on the problem.
