Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Electrical Engineering] From University of Twente

The Bachelor's programme in Electrical Engineering at the University of Twente (UT) will equip you with knowledge and skills that are essential in almost all areas of technology (electronics, data storage, communication, antennas, user interfaces, energy storage, sensors, control, signal conditioning, robotics and optics). Electrical engineers are highly employable, largely because their training encompasses a branch of science rather than a specific profession.?

Whatever career path you decide on, as an electrical engineer you will invent your own future. This is one of the best programmes you can take in terms of the excellent job opportunities it provides.

One of the distinguishing features of this programme is how students work together in project teams to tackle challenging themes that call for a combination of disciplines. The acquisition and application of knowledge go hand in hand. It is a stimulating and innovative way to study. This programme has close ties with our world-renowned research institutes in nanotechnology, robotics, ICT and biomedical technology.

Careers

Electrical engineers are highly employable, largely because their training is not limited to a specific profession but encompasses a branch of science. You will become an innovator: a developer of new methods and techniques. You could choose to work as a systems designer, researcher or project manager for a multinational (e.g. ASML, NXP, Philips, Thales) or you could opt for a career at an R&D lab or semi-public organization (e.g. TNO, ASTRON, a university hospital).?

Some graduates prefer to work for a smaller company (e.g. Nedap, Aemics, Sensata), a patent agency or a software company, or to pursue a career in engineering consultancy or teaching. If you succeed in coming up with your own unique electronics-based concept, it may even be time to start your own business!
