Industrial Engineering and Management

Every day, hundreds of people board aeroplanes. You are responsible for ensuring that these aeroplanes are in a good state of repair. You manage the maintenance of large ships, sustainable energy generation, or machines in factories. Not just for technical companies, but also in the care sector and for the government. You do not carry out the maintenance yourself, but you ensure that it takes place. And convince management that it is necessary. You have a flair for technology. You enjoy working with people from around the world. You are quick to see how machines or processes work. You understand what steps you need to take. You are also keen to look beyond borders. You are not a fearful person. You have self-belief and persuasive powers. And you approach your tasks responsibly. As your focus lies on international maintenance management, your classes are taught in English. Naturally, the key areas are technology and maintenance. But also management, leadership and negotiation. You will draw up cost projections, schedules and reports. And give presentations in English. You will visit various companies in the Netherlands and abroad. And carry out practical assignments for them.
