Key Summary
Introduction
Will your future involve finding electrical and electronic solutions for the energy transition, or designing the variable message signs above our motorways, an innovative electric motorcycle, and smart public transport access gates to make our transport systems easier to use? Or how about a self-piloting drone? With a higher education degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the world is your oyster!
International
The field of engineering work has a very international orientation. Saxion has a worldwide network of partner universities, with active incoming and outgoing exchange programs. You will work alongside students of more than 25 other nationalities.
Electrical Engineering for Energy Transition (ET)
How do you make electrical energy available to people as sustainably as possible? This includes the smart use of wind turbines and solar farms as well as the range of electric cars or solutions in Industrial Automation topics.
During your study
In Electrical and Electronic Engineering you'll learn how to design microelectronics. This includes deploying printed circuit boards, chips, and batteries in devices you use every day. You will also familiarise yourself with sustainable energy, automation, and hardware and learn how to program hardware. The program offers you many practical modules and projects.
Possibilities after your study
As an Electronic Engineer, you can get a job anywhere you want, from small engineering companies to multinationals. With a diploma in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the whole world is at your feet.

Scholarships and Funding
We are proud to offer scholarships to talented international students who apply for a bachelor's or master's Program at Saxion University of Applied Sciences.
Saxion Scholarships Program
Over the years we developed several scholarships that are available for talented international bachelor and master students from outside the EU/EEA.
- Orange Tulip Scholarship Program (OTS)
- Orange Knowledge Program (OKP)
- MENA Scholarship Program (MSP)
- Holland Scholarship (HS)
Other Scholarships
Further information on how and where to apply for a scholarship is available at the nearest Royal Netherlands Embassy, or from the Dutch Education Organization NUFFIC.
Curriculum
Within the short degree program you will have to follow one semester of modules and projects in a specialisation of your choice (EIE or EEET). Besides the basic technical knowledge, you will follow modules in the areas of analog and digital electronics and programming, you will work in project teams and learn how to go through a development process. Learning to work in teams, communicate, present, report and demonstrate are essential elements here and you will learn to put the acquired knowledge into practice. The next year is dependent on your background and experience and can include an internship period and a graduation semester.
- Contact hours 16-20 hours per week
- Self-study 24 hours per week
- Extra costs € 300 per year for books and other study materials
- Progression rate 71% proceed to the second year of study
First Year
Electrical and Electronics Engineering has two specialisations:
- Electrical Information Engineering (EIE)
You will learn all about microelectronics and the link to the ‘real world’ with sensors. You will also learn techniques for making chips work properly, how to program chips, and about wireless communication. - Electrical Engineering for Energy Transition (EEET)
How do you make electrical energy available to people as sustainably as possible? This includes the smart use of wind turbines and solar farms as well as the range of the electric car or solutions in Industrial Automation topics.
Will you choose EIE or EEET?
If you choose the EIE specialisation in the second year, then you will work on microelectronics with embedded software. For example, you will work on a wireless heart rate monitor. In the EEET specialisation you will work on an industrial automation project and on the latest developments in the field, such as sustainable energy transistion systems, direct current networks, and sustainable generation. This is done in collaboration with companies. Topics in the first year
- Electrical networks: DC (direct current), AC (alternating current)
- Digital and analog electronics
- Programming in C
- Physics
- Communication skills and personal development
- Projects: both hardware and software (Design methodologies, project management and collaboration)
You will increase your math skills within some of these subjects.
Second Year
In the second year, you will do an internship for six months. Finally, you will do a graduation assignment at a company to show that you are ready to start as an electrical engineer.
Courses for EIE specialisation
- Microcontrollers
- Data networks and telecommunications
- Digital and analog signal processing
- Personal development
- Projects: embedded system design
Courses for Energy Technology specialisation
- Power electronics and systems
- Sustainable energy supply: smart grids, power quality, generation, transmission and distribution
- Electrical drives
- Personal development
- Projects: industrial automation system
Degree: Bachelor of Science (BSc)
After completing the programme you may use the BSc degree title. You can work for various companies and choose a profession as a technician, developer, or researcher.
