About the course

A three-year, English-taught programme that combines social science with technical subjects to study how technological, economic and social developments interact in the move towards sustainability. You specialise in one of three tracks: energy systems, sustainable mobility, or the built environment and spatial planning.

  • Higher Level Mathematics at H5 or better is required.
  • TU/e lists only Mathematics as a subject requirement for this programme, so Higher Level Physics and Chemistry should not be needed. Confirm this with TU/e admissions.
