Electrical engineering
The smartwatch, electric car, and speed pedelec—just a few examples of electrical engineering in practice. And we haven't even mentioned virtual reality or robotics yet. Do you have similarly bright ideas for new forms of communication technology, healthcare equipment, robots, and sustainable applications? Do you want to become the engineer who designs these electronics or software? Then the Electrical Engineering program is perfect for you!
Description
Content of the training
The Electrical Engineering program trains you to become a technical all-rounder. A pioneer who looks beyond the boundaries of their own field and uses sound knowledge and creativity to create new products and solutions. You'll generate innovative ideas that will help you develop or improve a product. After training you to be a technical all-rounder in the first two years of Electrical Engineering, you'll choose a minor, internship, and major in the third and fourth years that align with your ambitions and personal interests.
Form of the training (program)
In the first year You'll be completing a company assignment, sometimes collaborating with students from other technical programs. These assignments vary each year, but you could consider:
- mechatronics
- Electronics
- Digital World
- Joint R&D
In the second year In Electrical Engineering, you'll deepen your knowledge in the following themes. You'll conclude the year by designing and building a controllable robot in collaboration with students from other technical programs.
- Telecommunications & Electronics
- Industrial Automation
- embedded systems
- Robotics
In your third year, you'll complete an internship. Your internship assignment depends on your internship company. Sometimes you'll collaborate on ongoing projects, while other times you'll be assigned your own project and have to solve a technical problem. You can also intern abroad.
Elective minor
You choose a minor that deepens or broadens your knowledge. For example:
- Academic Orientation (Pre-master in collaboration with TU Twente)
- Computer Vision & Data Science
- Second in-depth internship
- Creative Programming
- biomedical engineering
- Power electronics
You can get into the fourth year To acquire electrical engineering skills based on personal interest in a specific field such as:
- Embedded Systems (Technical Informatics)
- Industrial Automation (Mechatronics)
- Electronics
To graduate
You'll complete your Electrical Engineering studies with a six-month graduation project. You can choose from a wide range of company projects, or you can come up with your own topic in consultation with a company.
Practical information
To be admitted to the Bachelor of Electrical Engineering program, you need one of the following diplomas: HAVO, VWO, MBO4
As a student, you pay tuition fees every year. The amount depends on several factors, such as your nationality and any higher education qualifications you have already obtained. Read more about tuition fees and their amounts here.
