TU EINDHOVEN

TU Eindhoven (TU/e) is a mid-size technical university located in the 
heart of the high-tech industry in the Netherlands, named the Brainport 
region. Eindhoven is the fifth largest city in the Netherlands, and 
including suburbs it has about 420,000 inhabitants. TU/e is a highly 
ranked university both in research and education. Our training and 
research programs are highly regarded and we foster close relationships 
with companies, organizations and research institutes in the Brainport 
region and beyond.  Fundamental and applied research are equally valued 
here. The high rank of the TU/e is due to the impact of its scientific 
research and also to its scientific co­publications with industry. TU/e 
is a social and inspiring university with a fine culture. You’ll quickly 
feel at home, surrounded by people who share your scientific ambitions. 
The TU/e currently has nine departments, with over 11,000 students in total.

Growth and development: the Department of Mathematics and Computer 
Science. Computer Science is one of the two sub-departments of the 
Department of Mathematics and Computer Science (M&CS) at TU/e. With over 
100 (assistant, associate and full) professors, almost 200 PhD and PDEng 
students, about 1100 bachelor students and 600 master students, M&CS is 
one of the largest of the nine departments of the TU/e. By performing 
top-level fundamental and applied research, offering high-quality 
educational programs, and maintaining strong ties with industry, M&CS 
aims to contribute to science and to innovation in and beyond the region.

The department’s relationship with the high-tech industry in the 
Brainport region means that staff and students can contribute directly 
to the development of technological innovations with real-world 
relevance. The department has produced a number of successful spin-offs, 
and participates in many national and international research consortia. 
The unique positioning in one of Europe’s leading tech regions also 
means excellent job opportunities for spouses. TU/e actively facilitates 
career opportunities for partners of successful candidates.

Computer Science, which forms about half of M&CS, currently offers two 
bachelor programs and three master programs with several tracks, all 
taught fully in English. Beside a full Computer Science curriculum, we 
offer also a full Data Science curriculum. CS has a rich research 
portfolio, ranging from fundamental to application-oriented research in 
a variety of areas within computer-science.
