Focus and disciplines

Electrical Engineering teaches you how modern technology can be used to further enhance, accelerate or scale down electronics-based systems. It will provide you with skills and expertise that you can apply in nearly all fields of technology. You will be challenged to improve high-tech systems with an emphasis on themes such as sustainability, health and safety.

Research and specialisation

Our research focuses on many areas, ranging from nanoelectronics, robotics and mechatronics, to integrated circuit design/architecture and biomedical applications. You can tailor a large part of the programme to suit your own personal interests (ranging from technical to managerial aspects).

At the University of Twente we offer the following focus areas and specialisations in Electrical Engineering:

BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS (FOCUS: ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC APPLICATIONS AND DEVICES TO ASSIS PEOPLE)

communication (focus: make it faster)

ENERGY SYSTEMS (FOCUS: MAKE IT MORE EFFICIENT)

IC Design/Computer Architecture (focus: hardware design)

Image and Signal Processing (focus: image processing and biometrics)

MICROSYSTEMS (FOCUS: MAKE IT SMALLER)

Why opt for electrical engineering?

This programme provides you with a wider range of interesting specialisations, small classes, personal guidance and gives you the opportunity to broaden your perspective internationally.

Career Prospects

Electrical engineers are highly employable, largely because their training encompasses a branch of science rather than a specific profession. Without electrical engineers there would be no cars, aircraft, mobile phones, tablets, PCs or TVs. It is one of the best programmes you can take in terms of excellent job prospects.
