MASTER’S PROGRAMME
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
Would you like to expand your knowledge of design, analysis and research with regard to innovative
electrical engineering systems? Do you see designing, developing and producing electrical and
electronic systems and processes as an exciting challenge? If so, this two-year Master’s in Electrical
Engineering is definitely one to consider. This is an internationally oriented programme and is taught
entirely in English. You can start in September and February. You can start the pre-master’s
programme in September.
This MSc programme challenges you to develop new methods and technologies for high-tech
electronics-based systems in nanotechnology, robotics, electronics, telecommunication or biomedical
systems.
