CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY. A PROGRAMME WITH CONSIDERABLE IMPACT.
Are you brimming with creative ideas? Or perhaps you have the kind of mind that’s hard-wired for technology? Either way, we have the perfect Bachelor’s programme for you! Creative Technology (CreaTe) is a programme where creativity and technology come together to produce the smartest technical solutions designed to help make society better.
As a Bachelor’s student in Creative Technology, you will learn to develop and deploy the latest smart technology to equip society with solutions that pave the way to a brighter future. Working on a wide range of projects, you will develop technical knowledge and skills, alongside expertise on how media and technology impact people, design and creative processes. Building on extensive knowledge from computer science and electrical engineering, you will engage in all aspects of the creative process: from identifying demand to developing a working prototype and testing it with users.
You choose: create in Enschede or Amsterdam?
Thanks to a unique collaboration, from September 2023 you will be able to take the CreaTe programme at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam or the University of Twente in Enschede.
