Welcome to our Online Taster Courses! The Electrical and Electronic Engineering programme offers plenty of elective options. After the common first-year phase, you choose the specialisation (major) that best suits your interests and what you want to do. Besides Electronics, you can specialise in Sensor Technology or Mechatronics. So whether you want to tackle the full spectrum of electronics, sensors or mechanics, Hanze UAS has the right degree programme for you!
At the moment we are referring to Dutch pages here, but we are working hard to provide English content for you as well.
