Likes
- Great international environment and diversity
- Well educated faculty from several countries
- World-class facilities when it came to machinery and equipment
Dislikes
- Complicated administrative processes
- Lack of flexibility and leniency
- No affordable cafetaria and restaurant available on campus, also closest grocery store was quite far to go in between during classes
Course Curriculum
- The difficulty in Electrical Engineering is quite high. For reference, our graduation rate within 3 years is a mere 12%. After a fourth year that rate goes up from 12 to 35%, which is still quite low. It is a good course that offers both theoretical and practical knowledge, as well as a lot of freedom to choose your electives.
- The negative aspects are definitely the rigorous examination requirements to pass each course. You can never get less than a 5/10 on an exam and every course must overall be at least a 5.5/10. The positive aspect is that project courses are taught quite well and teach students skills that they are otherwise uneducated about.
- A maximum of 2, 4-hour lectures/blocks a day. Approximately 3.5-4 full days of education
- Number of students enrolled in my programme was 300 per year.
- In my year there were only a handful of students in EE (there were obviously others in different courses), but that has risen quite a bit this year with over 20-30 joining.
Fees
- When I started, the tuition fees were approximately 11k euros per year. It increased gradually (the last tuition fees for one year I paid was 12.5k), so tuition was approximately still 35ish-K for the Bachelor's if you finish within 3 years. The university is exceptionally difficult so most students take a fourth, if not a fifth, year to finish their Bachelor's in which case you still need to pay the extra amount for the extra years. Due to budget cuts however the tuition fee rises to 18k per year for all new students (and old students will have transitional arrangements till 2027)
- The hostels are not included and accommodation must be found by the students themselves, and depending on the location as well as sharing/studio/facilities, it can range from 400 to 1200 euros per person. This is not considered cheap in the area but the housing crisis is quite bad.
- The fees charged for the first year are always a one-time amount and from the second year onwards, you can do it monthly/quarterly/semester-wise, etc., and the university did not have credit-based solutions.
- Everybody here usually travels by bike so transportation costs stay quite low unless you wish to explore other cities. Until you're 18 you actually have subsidised train transport, which is something all students make use of. My monthly expenses have been quite low since I cook for myself; excluding rent, one could easily survive on 200-350 euros a month here.


plays a role in everything involving electricity and magnetism. For instance, in the development of electrical motors for cars or the design of the very latest wireless chips for cell phones. Electrical Engineering is crucial in almost every modern technology: from reading information on a DVD to signal processing in medical equipment. At TU/e, for instance, we focus on wireless energy transfer. What does that mean for the future? Suppose the battery of your cell phone or tablet is always fully charged, then you won?t need a separate charger. And you can use your TV anywhere because you won?t have to plug it in!
The Electrical Engineering?programme offered by??is working on the future and this is evident in the field?s applications. This is why the study is geared to three societal themes that you become familiar with in the first year:
- Communication (The Connected World): such as a chip that works using light rather than electric signals, Bluetooth or WiFi
- Healthcare (Care and Cure): medical applications such as an MRI scanner or treating cancer cells using electromagnetic waves
- Environment (Smart and Sustainable Society): finite resources like oil and gas will eventually become exhausted. Alternatives are sun and wind. But the wind does not blow constantly. How can you store energy? How can you store electricity?
Careers
There is a strong need for academic engineers in the field of electrical engineering. The TU/e is the perfect place for starting your career, since the Eindhoven region, also known as Brainport, is the technological heart of the Netherlands. The region accounts for a third of all Dutch private R&D expenditure and is one of Europe?s top three regions in terms of patent density. The region is home to companies like Philips, ASML, NXP, VDL, VanDerLande, TomTom, Oc?/Canon and DAF. In addition, the region hosts many small high-tech companies and research institutes. Or you could decide to start your own company. During your study you will be able to contact one or more of the companies in our region, for example by doing an internship. The starting salaries are in the top 5 of best starting salaries.
