Excellent designers

PDEng trainees all have a university engineering degree (MSc level) before they enroll The 4TU.School for Technological in one of our two-year designer programmes. Selection for these programmes is tough: Design, Stan Ackermans Institute offers typically candidates are from the top 25% graduates of technological universities. two-year postmaster technological designer programmes (PDEng programmes).
