Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Course Description
Interested in science and technology? Ready to devote to improving healthcare and the environment? To developing more efficient ways of generating sustainable energy for the power grid? Just a small glimpse of the many rewarding applications our students might work on as an electrical engineers. And as a graduate of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at HAN, they will have innovative edge that sets them apart from the rest.
Electrical and Electronic Engineering is about intelligent systems and smart devices, automated machinery and processes, electrical and electricity transmission systems/drives and management. Students from this course participate in the multidisciplinary challenge of the Solar Boat in the Solar1 Monte Carlo Cup race.
In your 1st year, you will get a solid foundation in the broad field of electrical engineering. You will learn about fundamental theories and apply your new knowledge in small group projects related to problems from the field. These projects will help you develop your problem-solving and communication skills. They will also offer insight into current issues that are relevant to professional practice.
After your 1st semester, you can choose to specialise in one of the following areas:
- Industrial and Power Systems
- Embedded Systems
Practical Approach
During the 1st semester of the 3rd year, you will undertake a complusory work placement.
In the first semester of the 4th year, you will expand your knowledge by studying abroad at a partner university or completing a minor in Embedded Vision Design or Out of Control. In the second semester, you will complete a graduation assignment with a multinational company, which allows you to further develop technical capability, business insights and industry connections before entering the job market.
Additionally, HAN works closely with companies such as TenneT, Liander as well as NXP, Nedap, Thales and other Dutch companies operating internationally.
Career Prospects
It offers excellent career prospects internationally as well as in the Netherlands. There is a shortage of engineers in this domain on the Dutch labour market and thus many employability opportunities for fresh graduates.
Graduate students can work in sectors such as: healthcare, lifestyle and vitality, water and energy, audio and video, science and exploration, etc..
Application
The application follows the same procedure as for our other Bachelors and it starts with applying through Studielink and further with the HAN Admissions Office.
The application requirements are sufficient scores in Mathematics and Physics as well as diploma of secondary education (General Certificate of Secondary Education – A level or International Baccalaureate).
