electrical engineering tu/e a good choice high quality of education and research leading position in international university rankings excellent student facilities international contacts with leading universities eindhoven is a modern student city region of eindhoven technology hotspot in the netherlands stefan schalk i m a gadget guy innovative engineering that is the kind of stuff i love always have it s the side of engineering that appeals to me the most so it stands to reason that i opted for electrical engineering yet it still took some time before i realized this a year after i started my bachelor s course i stopped because i was not sure about whether i wanted to study so i worked for a while and then began studying all kinds of things but electrical engineering kept pulling at me so i started studying it again not a single regret ever since it s the medical aspect to this study that enthralls me most of all to use innovation for healthcare institutions and for medical science that borders on biomedical engineering an example i saw that last year researchers had developed a game whereby brain activity is able to control a fish the higher the brain activity the higher the fish swims in this way they got people with adhd which is often attributable to too little brain activity to practice this to encourage that activity and the effect was revealed immediately that s what i like to see using an innovative method to help people video-processing also attracts me such as refining methods to help security at schiphol airport to detect `odd items of baggage that have been left behind i ll be really happy if i can use my knowledge to contribute to such processes requirements for admission there are a number of general requirements for admission to master s degree programs and special internship opportunities master s tracks during the master s degree program in electrical · you must have a relevant bachelor s degree engineering you will follow one or two short and a or equivalent based on a program of sufficient long internship it is possible to earn more credits academic level and quality to enable you to for an internship taken in another country either at complete the tu/e master s degree program or universities or in companies a lot of students go special master s track to which you wish to be abroad because it is a unique experience in both admitted technological and social respect the department of electrical engineering has good contacts with foreign · you must be able to demonstrate sufficient command of the language in which the program companies and universities all over the world from or track is taught all tu/e master s degree brazil to japan and from south africa to china programs and special master s tracks are taught in english research profile of the department · to prove sufficient command of the english the nine research groups of electrical engineering language you should submit an academic ielts are
