Maintenance and Mechanics

What will you learn?

Required Education

For admission to the AD Maintenance and Mechanics program, you need at least an MBO level 4 diploma in a technical field such as Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering, or a HAVO diploma. The HAVO profile Nature & Technology (N&T) fits best with this program because you have had mathematics B, physics and chemistry there, subjects that are essential for understanding mechanical and electrical systems. The Nature & Health (N&G) profile is also suitable if you have had mathematics B and physics in your package. Specific subjects that are important for this program are mathematics (minimum level B), physics and preferably chemistry, because these form the basis for technical calculations and understanding material properties. There are usually no additional admission tests required, but some universities of applied sciences do organize an informative intake to check if you have technical affinity. Alternative admission is possible via a 21+ test for adults without formal prior education but with relevant work experience in technology.
