Would you like to expand your knowledge of design, analysis and research with regard to innovative electrical engineering systems? Do you see designing, developing and producing electrical and electronic systems and processes as an exciting challenge?
This Master's challenges you to develop new methods and technologies for high-tech electronics-based systems in nanotechnology, robotics, electronics, power electronics, radio or biomedical systems and make the next step to our all future.
Specialisations
Semiconductor Devices and Technology
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.
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).
The Master’s programme in Electrical Engineering provides you with the knowledge and skills you will need to be successful in almost any area of technology. It is an innovative engineering discipline in which you will develop new methods and technologies. Electrical engineers are highly employable, largely because their training encompasses a branch of science rather than focusing on a specific profession. You will be trained in development teams for all kinds of new technologies. Without electrical engineers there would be no cars, aircraft, mobile phones, tablets, PCs or TVs.
The programme offers a wide variety of specializations. You will build your own future in line with your personal interests, whether you would like to be a researcher, a designer (developer of new products and services) or an organizer (manager of an engineering department or provider of consulting services).
Many of the programme’s graduates start their careers in R&D departments. Our research groups enjoy close ties with major companies such as Philips (consumer and medical electronic devices), ASML (machine fabrication to produce chips), NXP (chips), Demcon (robots) and Thales, but also with SMEs. These ties could help you find your first job, often with an internship as a first step. You might also decide to specialize further by becoming a PhD researcher at one of our research groups. You could then go to work as a specialist for a company, or start your own business as many of our past graduates have done.
