Why did we switch the degree
We changed our degree because the Universities of Applied Science in the Netherlands are starting with Professional Doctorate (PD) trajectories. Therefore, we wanted to avoid confusion between those trajectories and our programs at academic level. Only the name of the degree changed; the content of our programs is not affected.
If you graduated before 1 September 2022, you have received a diploma with the degree of PDEng; however, you are free to use the EngD degree instead as of 1 September 2022.
In view of the name switch from PDEng to EngD, you can download the official statement explaining the reasons for this switch. The explanation supplement can be found here
