This applies to all Masters within Electrical Engineering.

If you wish to study abroad you will have plenty of opportunities. You can do the internships (two internships combined to 23 ECTS) and/or graduation project outside of the Netherlands.  They can be arranged with a great many of universities and companies abroad via the research contacts of the staff of our own Electrical Engineering Department.  If you are interested talk to your graduation supervisor about using this opportunity. Many of our staff have excellent connections with researchers and companies abroad.

You can also go abroad for some elective coursework, although that is not so efficient as only 8 ECTS of your electives are completely free to choose. A way to deal with this is to make a combination of the internship at a university with following 2 or 3 elective courses at this same university.

There are many bilateral agreements with ERASMUS partners in Europe (Belgium, Bulgary, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and UK)

The TU/e also has an agreement with the National University of Singapore to exchange some 10-12 students per year.

Language

Wherever you go it is much more pleasant if you can speak the language, at least enough to get by on a daily basis.  So take the time to work on this.  The talencentrum at the TU/e has many facilities to help you with this.

How to organise this?

Contact Mrs. Lies Termeer, the Erasmus/study abroad co-ordinator for EE, PT 1.26 phone 040-247 4429

It is important to allow enough time to prepare well.  There are many sources of information, for example the International Relations Office at the TU/e.  Get into contact with EE students who went in 2010/2011
