The complex challenges we face in today's globalised world ask for responsible and creative solutions. Will you be part of this next generation of problem-solvers?

Climate change, social inequality, global pandemics, data security and privacy, natural disasters, spread of misinformation. The problems we face today are often complex, cross-border and always evolving. In order to address these, the world needs ambitious, creative and multidisciplinary experts who are able to oversee the bigger picture and think outside of the box. So, instead of focusing on one specific field of study, why not include multiple disciplines? University College Twente (UCT) offers you the opportunity to pursue your own interests and become a multi-skilled, open-minded, innovative and tech-savvy problem-solver, able to constantly adapt to new challenges of the future.

What is University College Twente (UCT)?

University College Twente is the Liberal Arts and Sciences college of the University of Twente. It offers a three-year, international Honours programme for motivated and ambitious students: the Bachelor's in Technology and Liberal Arts and Sciences, or ATLAS in short. UCT is based on the American model of liberal education, which means you get the freedom to design your own study programme. As a student, you learn and live together with your fellow students on campus. The programme is characterised by challenging encounters with important issues and more a way of studying, rather than studying a specific course or field of study.

Thanks to its unique and personal approach, University College Twente offers you more than a degree. You will be part of an inspiring, international and small-scale community of students and teachers from all over the world. Learning and living together on our beautiful campus, you work on real-life issues, with a special interest in how technology influences our society. As a UCT-student, you find yourself in the midst of the high-tech campus of the University of Twente, with ultra-modern labs and other facilities. Our technological approach to societal issues - we call it High Tech Human Touch - is something that distinguishes us from many other University Colleges worldwide and is even unique in the Netherlands!

Our self-designed, self-directed learning concept means that you put together your own study programme, based on your personal interests and development. During the courses, you receive a lot of personal feedback. In addition, you work on challenge-based group projects and develop your own take on that challenge. It means that you decide what you want to learn and how you are going to do this. Our curriculum is a gateway to growth in a broader sense, rather than a predetermined study path.

The time when sustainability was only for climate and environmental activists is long gone. Virtually every organization is conscious about the impact on people, society, environment and climate. Companies are assessed on sustainability, not only by the government and interest groups (NGOs), but certainly also by the consumer. Therefore, innovations in the field of sustainability contribute to the success of companies.

Various parties are involved when implementing new sustainable technologies, for example in energy supply: the government, corporations, societal groups, knowledge institutions and the consumer. The bachelor's program of Sustainable Innovation gives you an insight in sustainability from each of these different angles. For instance, take the development of hydrogen power plants: it entails more than just technology. Also costs, risks, regulations and societal acceptance play an important role.

You also learn how to place developments and discussions around sustainability in a long-term perspective and how Dutch developments relate to international developments.

Current developments

The bachelor's program of Sustainable Innovation is a topical and challenging degree. It is a mix of theory and practice, thinking and doing. The economic and social science disciplines that you gain experience in are:

The interaction between technological, economic and societal developments.

Fundamental long-term changes, otherwise called 'transitions'.

Global developments, including sustainability in developing countries.

The various aspects of the innovation process - invention, innovation, diffusion, use, administration, governance and societal implications.

This knowledge is applied in technical domains including:

Energy systems;

Sustainable mobility;

Built environments and spatial planning.

Because of this multidisciplinary working method, you develop a broad insight in sustainability issues. In the bachelor's program of Sustainable Innovation, you study innovations that propel society towards sustainable production and consumption, from a technical, economic and societal perspective. You learn to speak the language of technology and how economic and societal perspectives count in making decisions about sustainable innovations.

After graduating, you receive your Bachelor of Science in Innovation Sciences. Do you want to know more? Check out the Course structure for more information.

Sustainable Innovation at TU/e: a unique combination

The bachelor's program of Sustainable Innovation is unique, because it combines social sciences and technology. The Sustainable Innovation program is a BSc/MSc program and at least a third of the courses are technical, depending on the specialization at the Department of Mechanical Engineering or the Department of Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences. Our students praise the program because of the interesting courses, relatively small scale of education, approachability of teachers and pleasant ambiance.

Who are you?

Sustainable developments are crucial if we wish to retain our wealth and well-being. Therefore, we need students with the ambition to create a more sustainable future. You are talented in science and interested in social sciences and technological developments in a multidisciplinary program. You know how to use your communication skills to connect businesses, governments, consumers and science.

As a Sustainable Innovation student, be prepared to work hard. You have successfully obtained your pre-university certificate including mathematics B and physics. Affinity with societal and technical challenges with regard to sustainability is a must. For more information, please visit the Admission and Enrollment page. Do you have an HBO propedeuse?

Introduction

Want to make change happen?

Global Project and Change Management (Sustainable Business and Innovations) is a BBA-programme of Windesheim Honours College in Zwolle. It prepares you for a career as an international project and change manager who can make the difference in tackling worldwide sustainability challenges. Think, for example, of climate change, human rights, global health and the circular economy. Sustainable development is the main focus of this NVAO-accredited(opens in new tab) programme, but we also stimulate social and sustainable entrepreneurship. We dare, we share, we care! Do you?

In the first two years you will discover what the field of sustainable project and change management entails. Year one will introduce you to key areas of project management and professional skills. You will get acquainted with the industry and discover which skills you need. In year two, you continue to build your skills and deepen your knowledge. You will study modules designed to embed key knowledge in managerial and sustainable practice, while at the same time working on practical skills, such researching, communication and presenting.

Key elements of the programme

Global Project and Change Management is based on four principles:

Business Skills

Research

Global Challenges

Project and Change Management

Throughout the programme your personal and professional development will always be at the forefront. With the support of your career counsellor, you get the opportunity to explore your strengths and passions, and work on your personal and professional skills. You can work on this during one-on-one coaching sessions, workshops, the 7 Habits course based on Covey and by exploring your talents in our bi-annually Personal Development Weeks.

Hands-on teaching methods

Our teaching consists of assignments, projects, online activities, lectures and events. Every semester you will work in a small group on a large project that has been put forward by local businesses, organizations or the government. By collaborating with different clients, you get a direct glimpse behind the scenes. That way, you will find out what types of jobs and organizations suit you best.

Your timetable and assignments will give you a study load of roughly 40 hours a week. Our teaching style is interactive. This means that we expect you to pro-actively collaborate with your lecturers and fellow students, instead of only listening to presentations.

The last two years (consisting of four semesters) of your degree allow you maximum flexibility to plan your own learning journey and to further increase your employability. The focus in these years is on change management. You may plan the four semesters listed below in the order you prefer.

Managing Projects in a Globalized World

During this semester you will work in small and diverse teams on complex assignments from an organization in the Netherlands or abroad. We have, for example, implemented and executed projects in Uganda, Kosovo, Ghana, Aruba, Hong Kong, Philippines and Chili. During the first half of the semester, you will prepare your plan and research proposal and engage in coursework at Windesheim. This is followed by an 8-week stay in your destination country, where you will work on your results. The semester ends with presentations and assessments at Windesheim.
The assignment is broadly related to one (or more) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that have been set by the United Nations. While putting your knowledge and project management skills into action, you will also be developing '21st century skills', such as collaboration, leadership, critical thinking, problem-solving and creativity.

Value Creators

Value Creators(opens in new tab) invites you to become a change agent by addressing the United Nations' SDGs in collaboration with professional networks. Together with other students and professional partners, you will tackle wicked challenges and co-create various solutions for a more sustainable, inclusive society.

This semester lets you immerse yourself in world issues that are close to your heart. You will take ownership of your learning path by choosing your own classes, attending conferences and building your own network. You will also be trained in Theory U methodology, enabling you to make a change in society and work on complex issues in direct contact with local, national or international communities.

Value Creators is an educational concept developed by Windesheim Honours College.

Discover your specialism

We encourage you to go abroad and choose your own set of elective courses and specialize on a topic of your choice. Windesheim has more than 100 partner universities worldwide you can choose from. Previous students have, for example, chosen subjects in the field of Global Health, Communication and Psychology in Amsterdam, Sweden, Mexico and South-Korea.

Internship

In your final semester, you will do an internship of approximately 17 weeks. We encourage you to find an organization abroad or an international organization in the Netherlands. You are free to choose the company and the topic of your research. We have, however, guidelines to ensure that your organization allows you to meet your learning objectives. Together with a lecturer (your coach) and your in-company mentor, you will carry out independent research that will lead to a professional product that meets the clients' needs. The last two weeks before graduation, you will be back at Windesheim to prepare for graduation. You will now demonstrate that you have achieved all set competences. Together with fellow students you will work on your professional portfolio and defend your final thesis. Have you completed everything successfully? You have then obtained a Bachelor of Business Administration!

The Global Project and Change Management programme is part of Windesheim Honours College (WHC), an intensive, small-scale, international learning community for talented and socially engaged students who want to study in the field of international development and want to make a difference in the world. WHC is the first professional college in the Netherlands and is based on three pillars:

Academically challenging: with lecturers from various professional and cultural backgrounds and our strong focus on research, we provide an academically challenging learning environment.

Community: we believe in close contact between lecturers and students and in a meaningful connection with the outside world to make the world a better place.

Bounded freedom: we offer a personalized learning environment in which there is space for experimentation, risk-taking, personal initiatives and pursuit of your interests.

For whom?

We are looking for students who want to go the extra mile, who are passionate about global issues, enjoy teamwork, are open-minded, are eager to gain new perspectives and have a solution-oriented drive in approaching challenges. We challenge ourselves and our students to be critical leaders, to work hard and to do that little bit extra. It is important that we are right for each other, not only in terms of programme content, but also in terms of our approach to learning.

The concept

Our approach to excellence is based on the strength of education, delivered by a hands-on University of Applied Sciences. The focus is on the profession - in our case, the profession of the global project and change manager with specialist expertise.

To do this you will be working with models and statistics, but also spending time in the lab and outdoors or with partners from the different fields in question.

Furthermore, you will develop the skillset needed to identify, communicate and address sustainability challenges, so that you can act as a Change Agent for sustainable development.

Combining business studies with practical philosophy (including ethics) and sustainability science, the programme provides students with a comprehensive view on the different aspects of sustainable development, leading up to a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration.

The programme is a cooperation between Stockholm Business School, the Philosophy Department of Stockholm University, and Stockholm Resilience Centre.

In the first year, students will gain a broad overview over the main disciplines of business administration - Management, Finance, Accounting, and Marketing.

The second year is divided between Stockholm Resilience Centre and the Philosophy Department of Stockholm University. In this year the students will first explore the foundations of sustainability science, with a focus on the relationships between society, the natural environment, and the economy.

Next, students will explore the normative principles that govern people living in society and in a shared environment, and develop adaptive, transferrable analytical skills that can be used to explore original, independent solutions to the problems facing society.

In the final year, students can either go abroad through one of our many exchange agreements or choose courses offered at Stockholm University. In the final semester, students will write a bachelor's thesis in Business Administration.

Designing Your Own Curriculum

No student has followed the exact same educational path at University College Roosevelt. This is because the college allows you to design your own curriculum, with a few requirements and rules that exist to form you into the most skilled and experienced student you can be. To further help you make sensible choices, you are assigned a Tutor, a Faculty member who will assist you in choosing courses for the next semester, check in to see if you are doing well, and discuss your future plans with you.

Your UCR in three main stages

Orientation

The first year is all about exploring. You will be busy with your orientation; figuring out what it is that you want to do. You will mainly take introductory courses and need to take an introduction in Methods & Statistics and an introduction in Academic Writing & Presenting.

Moderation

At the start of your second year, you declare the Major in which you will take the majority of your courses. By then, you have mostly figured out what topics suit you best, so you go further in depth in those, taking intermediate and advanced courses. In your third semester, you will reflect on your time so far and make plans for your future.

Graduation

In your third year, you will start preparing for your future after UCR. You will look at Master Programs in the Netherlands and abroad, picking the courses that will make your program fit those futures the best. You will also work on your Senior Project, combining research skills and your interests in one project.
