    Not an official deadline. With a Dutch address you log in with DigiD, which the government says takes about five days. Without one you upload a scan or photo of your passport or EU identity card and Studielink verifies it automatically. Either way, do it well before 15 January.

What it is

The programme joins technology with sustainability, economics, policy and social science, to train people who can assess innovations and drive change. Three learning lines run through it: transitions, with courses such as Navigating Sustainability Transitions; assessment, using life-cycle assessment and cost-benefit analysis; and economic policy, including Economics of Innovation. You work on cases with companies, governments and societal organisations through challenge-based learning, and choose electives within the programme or from other TU/e programmes. Year three brings the perspectives together to assess innovations and support decisions, and the location in Brainport Eindhoven provides innovation partners.
