- Research Methodology and Numerical Modeling. Professionals in the energy industry must be able to conduct (or supervise) applied research projects and should be able to assess the relevance of research outcomes. Therefore, students are provided with a research module in which research skills are taught.
- Professional Skills and Mentoring: Students set their own learning goals, monitor their own learning and develop a Personal Development Plan. Supervision is provided throughout the programme, in person during the core, online during the specialization and again in person during the thesis project. The capstone assignment is used to reflect on professional skills and personal development.

Visa, insurance and other practical matters
As a prospective international student you are on the doorstep of a great adventure: studying and living in the Netherlands. Although this is an amazing experience, it can be quite difficult finding your way through the rules and regulations, from applying for a study programme until your journey to the Netherlands. The International Service Desk (ISD) will assist you from start to finish. They can help you with practical matters, such as obtaining a visa and getting the right health insurance.
WARNING: non-EU applicants must follow the requirements of the International Service Desk for visa procedures. Hanze UAS has to prove to the IND that you can pay the tuition fee and that you have sufficient funds to live off before an immigration procedure is started. In order to prove this we ask our future students to transfer both the living costs as well as the tuition fee. Please find more information about the financial guarantee on this website.
