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? If so, this two-year Master's in Electrical Engineering is definitely one to consider. This is an internationally oriented programme and is taught entirely in English. You can start in September and February. You can start the Pre-master's in September.

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.

Focus and disciplines:

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.

Research and specialisation:

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).

At the University of Twente we offer the following focus areas and specialisations in Electrical Engineering:

Biomedical applications (focus: electrical and electronic applications and devices to assist people)

• Neurotechnology & Biomechatronics

Communcation (focus: make it faster)

• Communication Networks

• Radio Systems

Energy systems (focus: make it more efficient)

• Power Electronics 

IC desing/computer architecture (focus: hardwere design)

• Dependable Integrated Systems

• Integrated Circuit Design

Image and signal processing (focus: image preocessing and biometrics)

•  Computer Vision & Biometrics 

Mechatronics (focus: control over)

• Robotics & Mechatronics

Microsystems (focus: make it smaller)

•  Micro Sensors and Systems

•  Integrated Optical Systems

•  Lab-on-a-chip Systems

•  Nanoelectronics

• Semiconductor Devices and Technology

Why opt for electrical engineering?

This programme provides you with a wider range of interesting specialisations, small classes, personal guidance and gives you the opportunity to broaden your perspective internationally.

Career prospects:

Electrical engineers are highly employable, largely because their training encompasses a branch of science rather than a specific profession. Without electrical engineers there would be no cars, aircraft, mobile phones, tablets, PCs or TVs. It is one of the best programmes you can take in terms of excellent job prospects.
