An Engineering bachelor's degree is an undergraduate route into technical study, suited to applicants who want a first degree before moving into work or further study. The 13 programmes spread across six universities give a choice of study paths at bachelor's level.

All six universities are public, so the main differences for applicants are likely to be in location and programme fit rather than ownership. The mix includes institutions in Groningen, Utrecht and other Dutch locations, so city size and living environment may matter when choosing between them. Fees are not provided for these programmes, so the cost decision needs to be checked directly with each university.

Before applying, confirm the specific Engineering programme, the tuition fee, entry requirements, application deadline and whether the course is taught in a language you can study in. Also check the exact campus location and any document requirements for international applicants, because those details can change by programme.
