Tom Zwijgers EngD
After my Master's degree I was looking for opportunities to combine academic research and practical work experience. The MSD EngD was a perfect match with its unique educational format and focus on practical and applied systems design. In two years, this program taught me both the technical and soft skills needed to be successful in a multi-disciplinary high-tech environment, and I am convinced that I will continue to benefit from my EngD experiences in the years to come.
