Seven new graduate research programmes in the Twente Graduate School

08 February 2010 

In September 2009 the Twente Graduate School started with six graduate research programmes that consist of a coherent and integrated master's and doctorate course that runs over a period of, at most, six years. Such a graduate research programme educates students to be researchers in fields of expertise for which high quality research is carried out at the UT.

The Dean has admitted seven new programmes as of 1 February 2010. Before being incorporated in the Twente Graduate School, the programmes have been assessed on compliance with the quality requirements. This prove of quality is carried out by the Programme Committee, formed by the Scientific Directors of the UT Research Institutes. The seven new graduate research programmes and their programme leaders are:

Governance of Knowledge and Innovation Stefan Kuhlmann
Human-centered Interaction Technologies Anton Nijholt
Industrial Engineering Richard Boucherie
Learning in Educational and Training Settings Jaap Scheerens
Next Generation Energy Guido Mul
Services Science Roel Wieringa
Wireless and Sensor Systems Paul Havinga
