What will you learn?

(Electrical Engineering) The HBO Electrical Engineering program focuses on the fundamental and practical aspects of electrical engineering. Students learn how electrical systems and devices are constructed and function. The program includes theoretical subjects such as electrical machines, signal processing and energy storage, and practical components where students learn to work with various technical equipment and software. Project-based work is an essential part of the curriculum, where students work in teams to solve real technical problems. This develops skills in the areas of technology, research, and creative problem-solving. After successfully completing the program, graduates are well prepared to work in diverse sectors, from sustainable energy to automation systems and telecommunications.

Required Education

For admission to HBO Electrical Engineering you need at least a HAVO diploma, VWO diploma or MBO-4 diploma. The subject profile Nature & Technology (N&T) fits best with this study, but Nature & Health (N&G) is also suitable. Mathematics B and physics are usually required subjects for admission to this technical program. If you don't have a suitable diploma, you can also be admitted through a 21+ test or colloquium doctum.
