Electrical Engineering

As an Electrical Engineer, you won’t stick to the beaten path. In our programme, you will learn to come up with and realise ground-breaking solutions that are faster, more accurate and more sustainable than anything we know now. Instead of copying things, you will create applications that did not exist before; you will have plenty of room to experiment and work on your creations in our practice room or one of the other high-tech labs on campus. Our project-based education will help you become more entrepreneurial, challenge you to push boundaries and give you a solid foundation for applying your knowledge in the real world; all to make a difference for the future. 

The future is unpredictable, especially in the field of electrical engineering: 20 years ago it was unthinkable that people would be walking around with smartphones that we use not only to make phone calls, but to play games, watch films and send messages. In another 20 years' time, you may have developed the successor to the drone, or you might be working on faster and better pattern recognition for medical or security applications, or the energy supply of fully autonomous systems. A phone chip with the computing power of today’s supercomputers? You could be part of it!

99% of our graduates find a job within a month of finishing their Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering. Experience shows that many of our alumni have received multiple job offers, even before they graduate. Due to your in-depth knowledge, practical experience and 21st-century skills, you will be in high demand on the job market. So, enjoy your luxury position and take your pick!
