Challenging problems, practical solutions
During the first year of the Bachelor’s in Advanced Technology, you will become familiar with the basics of technical and scientific disciplines. In the projects and practical assignments – which together make up around 20% of your programme – you can immediately apply the knowledge you gain. The second year is about broadening and deepening your knowledge and you can start to pursue your own interests by getting familiar with popular master’s programmes. The third year is made up of elective modules in which you will prepare yourself for the master’s programme of your choice and for your graduation assignment – the final step you must take before you can call yourself a Bachelor of Science.
During the three-year, English-taught Bachelor's in Advanced Technology you will follow a total of twelve modules:

First time at university
When you are a first-year student, you experience many new things. Here we start explaining at least a few of them.
Student workload at Dutch universities is expressed in EC, also named ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System), which is widely used throughout the European Union. In the Netherlands, each credit represents 28 hours of work. You need to acquire 60 credits each year.
Your programme assigns fixed numbers of hours to each assignment, project report or exam. In the first year, you need to get at least 45 out of 60 points to be able to continue to the second year.
Study points - how do they work?

Did you obtain 45 or more credit points? Then you can continue to the 2nd year Our aim is to get you in the right place as soon as possible, which is why we use the principle of a binding recommendation. You will receive a positive recommendation if you have obtained 45 or more of the 60 EC in the first year. A negative recommendation is binding and means you have to leave the programme. Under certain circumstances, we may give you a positive recommendation despite a low score. For example, if we are confident that you are in the right place.
