In Commercial Engineering, you focus on the business market (B2B) and the consumer market (B2C).
You design products that sell well in a particular market. For example, students designed an electric toothbrush for Philips. You are enterprising, you operate internationally and you handle cultural differences smoothly.
In the third year of the programme, you choose your minor. A minor will enable you to deepen or broaden your knowledge and skills. You can do this at the HZ or at another university of applied sciences at home or abroad.
The HZ offers various minors that complement the Engineering programme:
The other half of the year you will do an internship. You can choose whether you stay in the Netherlands or go abroad.
In the final year, you choose one study route. In the first semester, you will have classes and projects.
In the second half of the year, you will work on your graduation project at a company. You design and research technical improvements and innovations in a company during your final project. The choice is yours whether to do this in the Netherlands or abroad.
