Looking for a career in chip tech? These master’s programmes will get you there

Working in chip technology means contributing to one of the most advanced and fast-moving sectors in science and engineering. As chips become smaller, faster, and more powerful, the demand for skilled engineers and researchers continues to grow. Eager to enter the field, but still unsure which way to go? Here are 11 relevant master’s degrees you can pursue at the University of Twente.

Chips are the building blocks of all modern electronic devices: from consumer electronics like smartphones to systems used in cars, medical equipment, modern production processes and security systems.

Chip tech in Europe

Innovations in this field are rapidly unfolding, so now is an excellent time to start a career in the semiconductor industry. Especially in Europe and the Netherlands, there is a strong focus on boosting chip production and research, supported by initiatives like the European Chips Act to strengthen the region’s position in the global semiconductor market.

Master’s in chip tech

But chip tech isn’t one single discipline. It draws on a wide range of expertise: from materials science to embedded software, from circuit design to sustainable manufacturing.

That also means there’s no single path into the field.
