English Academic Preparation Programme
Need help with your English? If you haven’t quite reached the right level of English for your chosen Bachelor’s or Master’s degree programme, you can enrol for English Academic Preparation Programme. After the successful completion of this programme, you’ll be ready to start your degree at THUAS and you will already have a good taste of studying and living in the Hague.
Don’t meet the entry requirements?
You may not be directly admissible to the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Degree Programme. For example, if you do not have a suitable prior education, or if you have not taken your examination in a compulsory subject. Please check here which options are available to start your studies at THUAS after all.
You have a foreign or international diploma
With a foreign or international diploma you may be admitted, provided that this diploma qualifies you for higher professional education (hbo) and you can demonstrate sufficient proficiency in the English language. All foreign and international diplomas are evaluated by The Hague University of Applied Sciences.
Decisions regarding your qualification for admission
There are no exceptions to the official admission requirements. The Enrolment Office is the only party that can make decisions regarding your qualification for admission based on official regulations. You can’t rely on any other sources of information for your qualification for admission.

Programme content
What will you study each year?
Working methods
Lectures
In the first years of your Electrical Engineering degree programme, you will build a strong knowledge base by attending lectures and tutorials. These will be taught either by your own lecturers or guest speakers from professional practice. For example, you can attend a guest lecture from a specialist in wind energy or from professionals with expertise in electric drives and data networks. Lectures with multiple classes are rare. Much more often, classes consist of a group of 30 students.
Practicals
The theory you learn during lectures and self-study is directly applied in practice through practicals. Here you will sit in smaller groups in a practice room, and work alone or in pairs, using the latest equipment. The instructions are subject-specific and concise. So even if you have dyslexia, all instructions can be followed easily!
Projects
The knowledge you gain in lectures and during practicals is essential for your projects. Together with 2 to 6 fellow students, you carry out assignments. Sometimes these are fictional cases, but often they are real assignments for businesses. Often, you design, build, and test electrical circuits. Do they all work? And can they perhaps work smarter, cheaper, or more sustainable?

Continue studying
After your Electrical Engineering degree programme, you can enter the workforce right away. Do you have a specific ambition that calls for a master’s degree, or do you simply wish to extend your academic journey? In that case, you could follow the one-year Master’s in Next Level Engineering Degree Programme at THUAS. This master’s degree programme has been specifically developed for technology students and awards an MSc title. Are you interested in quantum computing and quantum technology? Then consider our Master’s in Applied Quantum Technology Degree Programme at four prime locations!
You can also continue your studies at TU Delft. For instance, to obtain yourmaster’s degree in Computer Engineering or Embedded Systems. Another logical option is TU Delft’s Master’s in Electrical Engineering Degree Programme. To qualify, you must first complete a one-year transition programme. We generally recommend doing this transitional programme after finishing your Electrical Engineering studies, but you may also use some of the time allocated to your minor to complete parts of the programme in advance.

Binding Study Advice (BSA)
To continue your degree programme after the first year, you need to earn 50 of the 60 credits (EC or Credits). In some cases, the degree programme may also require that you pass a specific subject as pEuropean art of the credit requirements. We call this a qualitative requirement. If you meet the credit requirements as well as the qualitative requirement where applicable, you will receive a positive binding study advice (BSA) from the Examination Board at the end of your first year and you will be able to continue your degree programme.
If you earn less than 50 credits or don’t meet the qualitative requirements where applicable, you will receive a negative binding study advice and will have to leave the degree programme. This is why this advice is called a Negative Binding Study Advice (NBSA).
Your academic progress may be affected by personal circumstances such as illness or the professional practice of a sport. It is important that you inform the Examination Board immediately of any personal circumstances that might apply to you. The Board can take these into account when issuing its study advice.
Read all the rules for the binding study advice in Chapter 7 of the Programme and Examination Regulations (PER) for your degree programme.
