Introduction
Will your future involve finding electrical and electronic solutions for the energy transition, designing the variable message signs above our motorways, or 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 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. Outside the classroom, you have the opportunity to join a study association and connect with like-minded people who share your passions.
Unique Nanotechnology study route
After the second year, you can immerse yourself in nanotechnology. If you choose this minor. you will discover the smallest sensors in the world, smell with an electronic nose, or develop a lab-on-a-chip to measure blood glucose.
Applied Computer Science option
The first semesters of Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Applied Computer Science are virtually the same. And if you should discover that you like programming technical systems more than working with hardware? Then you can switch to Applied Computer Science.
During your study
In Electrical and Electronic Engineering you'll learn how to design microelectronics. This includes deploying printed circuit boards, chips, and batteries for 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.

Career Opportunities
As an electrical engineer, you can work anywhere, from SMEs to multinationals, in the manufacturing industry, or development companies. Do you have international ambitions? With your degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, you can work worldwide.
Professions for electrical engineers
As an electrical engineer, you can work anywhere. At SMEs or multinationals, in the manufacturing industry, or at development companies. For example, you will be qualified to work as a programmer of software operating systems, as a consultant at an engineering firm, or as a designer of electronics for a radar system. Or you can focus on research, development, and design. Do you have international ambitions? With your degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, you can work worldwide.
Electronics Technician
You are responsible for the electrical/electronic systems in a factory. You oversee the maintenance of the installation and ensure it stays in perfect working order.
Renewable energy consultant
You work for an engineering firm or electricity distribution company, for example. You research or design how a solar energy farm is connected to the existing network, for example.
Test engineer / Quality manager
You develop a test system for the industry, to test whether the drive system of an electric car functions properly for example. Or you develop a test system for online remote monitoring of a wind farm. There are a great many possibilities for the development of test systems because practically every product is so complex that it can only be tested with a custom-made programmable test system.
Embedded hardware/software engineer
You design, build, program, and test microelectronics. If your idea works, you prepare it for mass production.
You will also be qualified for professions such as...
- Network manager
- Automation specialist
- Researcher
- Teacher
