Why study Electrical Engineering?
In the Master’s programme in Electrical Engineering, you will do innovative research and design, analyze and realize smart and novel electrical components and systems. You will be actively involved in the department’s own research program and cooperate with other R&D departments in industry, through internships and a final graduation project.
Three unique strengths
The Electrical Engineering Master's at TU/e offers compelling advantages:
- Industry Relevance: The programme offers state-of-the-art education together with strong links with industry. Many of our part-time professors also hold positions in leading companies, helping to ensure our research and teaching remains highly relevant.
- Specialised Tracks: We offer a range of six special Master’s tracks, allowing you to specialise your expertise in high-demand areas, from the energy sector to microelectronics, ensuring a tailored and deep educational experience.
- International Opportunities: Through tracks like the EIT InnoEnergy Master’s in Smart Electrical Networks and Systems (SENSE), you can gain a double degree by studying at top European universities, providing a global perspective on electrical engineering challenges.
Connection with semiconductors industry
The connection between Electrical Engineering at TU/e and the semiconductor industry is fundamental and strong. One of the programme's key tracks is Semiconductor Devices and Technology, which is specifically designed to prepare experts for this vital, high-tech sector. The curriculum focuses on the design, analysis, and fabrication of advanced semiconductor components and systems. Given the presence of global leaders in chip design and manufacturing equipment in the Brainport region, such as ASML, this programme provides an excellent pathway to a career at the cutting edge of microelectronics.
Programme structure
In addition to the regular Master’s programme in Electrical Engineering, we offer four special Master’s tracks, giving you the flexibility to specialise your studies:
- Connected World Technologies: Focuses on the systems and networks that underpin modern communication.
- Care and Cure: Applies electrical engineering principles to healthcare technology.
- Semiconductor Devices and Technology: Specialises in the design and fabrication of microelectronic components.
- EIT InnoEnergy Master’s in Smart Electrical Networks and Systems (SENSE): This track focuses on designing, implementing and managing smart grids. Students following this programme study their first year in Sweden and their second year at TU/e. As a result, they gain a double degree in the relevant master’s programme from each university.
You will be actively involved in research, culminating in an internship and a final graduation project, often in cooperation with industry R&D departments.
Career perspectives
As a graduate of this Master’s programme, you can enter an innovative and managerial career across a vast array of high-tech industries. Career paths include roles such as R&D Engineer, System Architect, Design Engineer, or Project Manager. Graduates are highly sought after in sectors like microelectronics (semiconductors), telecommunications, automotive, energy (smart grids), and medical devices. The strong links with industry and the specialised knowledge gained in tracks like Semiconductor Devices and Technology and SENSE ensure exceptional opportunities within the Brainport region and internationally.
