What started in 1956 as the second institute of its kind in the Netherlands grew into a leading technical university where Eindhoven's brightest minds work and learn. This place offers bachelor's and master's degree programs within a range of nine faculties About 12,000 students visit the campus behind the central station every day. If you are ever lucky enough to see the campus, be sure to stop by the Atlas building with its famous cathedral ceiling.

The 40 different teams work on various projects to make the world a little more beautiful. Take Team Solar, for instance, who are pioneering innovative solar cars that offer a vision of tomorrow's mobility.
