Starting a new program can be tough, but at MOT you won't be alone! To ease the transition for incoming MOT students, the TPM faculty has partnered with dedicated second-year mentors. These mentors will be available to answer questions, offer support, and motivate you throughout the first several months of your studies.

Last year's MOT Introduction Days was a wrap! It started from a day where each student met their mentor and had a faculty welcoming and tour, until a 3-day event with lots of fun activities to help students get along with each other! The fun activities consisted of a campus tour, BBQ and drinks, museums visit, a picnic, and closed by a boat party. We are looking forward to welcoming you to the next MOT Introduction Days!

All incoming students are always curious about the alumni of their faculty. Hence, we have decided to gather insights from various alumni from MOT in the current and upcoming newsletters. In this edition, we have interviewed an alumni who is currently working at a company in the Netherlands, who describes the program as " the perfect blend of business acumen and technical expertise".
