systems and control 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 reyhan zanis the most important reasons for me to come to tu/e for my master s program are the good reputation of this university and the scholarship program it offers i have been here for one academic year so far and i really notice the quality of the education by the professors and the good contacts they have with industry they encourage us to delve deep in our discussions about the subject matter and give us the opportunity to work with a laboratory set-up this means we can put into practice what we have learnt in theory i had no problem moving from indonesia to the netherlands though i did have to get used to the food and the weather dutch people speak english ­ that reflects their openness from my grandpa and grandma in indonesia i had picked up a few dutch phrases but i can always use english here i will be doing my work placement here at tu/e in the electromechanics and power electronics group after i have completed my master s i would like to do a doctorate at tu/e and then gain some industrial experience before returning to indonesia ultimately i would like to become a professor at the teknologi bandung institute the place where my academic career began formal mathematical basis and attractive realistic applications 3tu master s degree program the three leading universities of technology in the netherlands eindhoven university of technology delft university of technology and the university of twente have joined forces in the 3tu.federation this federation maximizes innovation by combining and concentrating the strengths of all three universities in research education and knowledge transfer together they offer five master s degree programs systems and control is one of these five programs a largely identical core program can be followed at each of the three locations students benefit from the specific strengths of all the three universities by choosing a specialization at any of the three the admission procedures teaching and examination regulations and academic calendars at all three universities have been carefully matched students are registered at the location of their choice but they are automatically co-registered at the other two locations to ensure access to the facilities of all three project 46 ec this project can be theoretical but experimental work is stimulated as well this kind of experience is indispensable for a control engineer enabling yourself to validate the theoretical work · there may be additional specific requirements for this program also depending on the nature of your prior education for more information visit www.tue.nl/masterprograms netherlands brainport as a result of which there is a close cooperation with the residential businesses research profile of the program the program is a cooperation between the departments of mechanical engineering and electrical engineering the systems and control research of these departments focusess especially on positioning systems automotive applications machine dynamics biomedical modeling of basic physiological processes and instruments for example biorobotics embedded dynamic systems acoustics and controls and large-scale process control systems within all these application areas the integrated systems and control approach incorporates physical and experimental modeling signal analysis and processing model-based controller design and hardware and software systems graduation options you can opt to carry out research within the systems and control group or in a company or research institute in many cases students opt for sub-tracks within the core research areas of the participating groups which are described under the research profile of the departments tu/e has close working relationships with many high-tech companies and knowledge institutes in the eindhoven region such as asml ford océ philips shell unilever and tno netherlands organization for applied scientific research graduated and then graduate engineers of the master s degree program can take up a broad range of positions there is a strong demand for these engineers both in the eindhoven region and further afield in eindhoven and the surrounding area especially there are numerous large and small high-tech companies working in the field of positioning systems and vehicle subsystems in addition as a graduate of this master s degree program you will be able to find employment in the automotive energy and process industry in engineering companies in research institutes and in the software industry why study systems and control in eindhoven when you are interested in automotive applications then tu/e is your university the knowledge in this area is concentrated here above this eindhoven is located in the technological region of the requirements for admission there are a number of general requirements for admission to this master s degree program · you must have a relevant bachelor s degree course structure or equivalent based on a program of sufficient the first year consists of a compulsory part 24 academic level and quality to enable you to ec an elective part in which modules are chosen complete this master s degree program from a list of systems and control modules 20 ec · you must be able to demonstrate sufficient and a part of research oriented courses specific to command of the english language in which the track you have chosen 10 ec within the elective program is taught courses there are various specialization options · to prove sufficient command of the english at the end of the first year you will start with the language you should submit an academic ielts internship 20 ec of three months you can also or toefl test for the scores or exemptions choose to replace this internship by several elective you can contact the international relations office courses and a literature study the second year io@tue.nl or visit www.tue.nl/masterprograms consists of the internship and the graduation
