Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Looking for a technical career aimed at the future? Become an electrical engineer. Work on the transition to sustainable energy. Or develop smart automated manufacturing or industrial processes. Electrical and Electronic Engineering at HAN gives you a solid start to a rewarding career.
The program for Electrical and Electronic Engineering is based on industry needs. You get all the latest theories. And equally important: you put it into practice. From the very start of the program. So when you graduate you’re an engineer with the right experience.
To become an electrical engineer, you need to know about fundamental theories. But you also need to know how to apply them in practice. That's the strength of this program. It puts you at the heart of real-life electrical engineering projects. Projects where you cooperate with research groups and companies.
Electrical and Electronic Engineering trains you to become an electrical engineer. You get all the fundamental theories. At the same time you put them into practice in projects. Real-life electrical engineering projects that solve actual issues in the professional field.
Throughout your studies, you work with your classmates in project teams. You also get the chance to work with professionals from the field. Your focus in this course is industrial systems and power systems.
- Transcript of Records – If you have not yet completed Secondary School, you must upload a transcript showing your current grades. You can find the transcript template here.
- Secondary School Leaving Certificate – If you have already completed Secondary School, you do not need to upload a separate transcript. Simply upload your Secondary School Leaving Certificate to the application.
Note: Each programme includes a Matching procedure to help determine whether the bachelor's programme you have chosen is the right fit for you. The process starts with completing a self-reflection questionnaire. After that, you can participate in one or more Matching activities, which vary depending on the programme.
Important! View the full requirements on the university’s official website. Requirements may vary depending on your nationality and the country where you completed your previous education.
You may not need to take IELTS or TOEFL. University usually allow you to prove your English proficiency in one of the following ways:
- TOEFL iBT*
- IELTS Academic
- A Cambridge English qualification
- A national English examination listed on your secondary school leaving certificate
- An English subject and grade on your secondary school leaving certificate that meet the university’s requirements
- Secondary education completed in English in a country or school qualification accepted by the university
- An International Baccalaureate (IB) or European Baccalaureate (EB) diploma
- Other
Important: Accepted methods and minimum results depend on study programme, your secondary school qualification and the country where you completed your education. Check the official requirements for your chosen study programme.
