Leaders of Innovation and Impact
At the end of the course, you will be able to understand and apply the Design Thinking techniques used at the Design Lab of the University of Twente. These techniques will provide you with a solid foundation to build up on your solutions for complex problems. Before you can come up with a solution, you need to understand the scope of the problem and the stakeholders’ needs.

You will get expert knowledge on these processes, after which you will be challenged to practically apply your knowledge during CuriousU as a means of a final case and presentation.
