During your Master’s in Electrical Engineering, you will earn 120 EC within two years. In addition to the two compulsory courses for all master’s students in Electrical Engineering, you will take four mandatory specialisation courses to develop expertise in radio systems. You will also take elective courses to deepen your knowledge or broaden your expertise by exploring related disciplines. In your second year, you will do an internship and conduct research for your master’s thesis.

INTERNSHIP
In the second year of your Master’s in Electrical Engineering, you will do an internship. That way, you can apply the knowledge and skills you have acquired during your studies at a renewable energy company, semiconductor device manufacturer, power generation and distribution organisation, or research centre in the Netherlands or abroad. The EEMCS faculty at the University of Twente has connections with a large number of high-tech companies, research institutes, and other organisations where you can do your internship.
Previous students have done internships at:
- Semiconductor manufacturers, such as NXP
- Thales and KPN
- Health technology companies, such as Philips
MASTER'S THESIS
You will complete your Master’s by writing your master’s thesis. You can conduct research within the research group Radio Systems (RS) or do an external master’s thesis at a company. For example, you can evaluate how GPS helps synchronise time for radar sensing using software-defined radio across multiple locations. In a past assignment, a student investigated the capabilities and service quality of a large-scale cell-free multiple-input-multiple-output (MMIMO) network.
