Electrical Engineering
Turn science fiction into reality WITH ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING. Learn to devise high-tech solutions to practical problems and shape the world of the future.
What do you need to move a robot arm at high speed and with nano-level precision? How do you measure a nano G in order to monitor gravitational waves or the movements of buildings? How do you design a chip to work ten times faster than the current ones, while using ten times less power? How do you protect your computer from Wi-Fi code interception? If questions like these intrigue you, the three-year English-taught Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering (EE) at the University of Twente is the right choice for you.
Our field ranges from digital computing power and wireless communication devices to robots, autonomous vehicles, nano-electronics and medical equipment. In the time ahead it will continue to broaden and expand: much of what now appears to be science fiction will become reality in a few years, thanks in no small part to innovations in electrical engineering. In this bachelor’s you will acquire the basic knowledge and skills needed to create solutions that can change the world.
During this three-year Bachelor's in Electric Engineering, you will follow twelve modules: four modules per year. Each module covers a theme and brings together all the main aspects of your studies: theory and practice, research and solution design, self-study and teamwork.
