What do you learn?
The Control Systems master is part of the Master in Engineering Systems. Your 1st year, you take the modules Systems Modeling and Applied Control. In the 2nd year you choose 2 elective modules. Your 3rd year revolves around your graduation project. This is where you research a control systems issue in your own work practice and write a comprehensive report or article about it.
Part of the Master in Engineering Systems
Control Systems is a track within the Master in Engineering Systems. So when you apply on Studielink you choose Engineering Systems. Then you indicate the track you wish to follow. In this case, Control Systems. Other tracks in the Master in Engineering Systems are: Sustainable Energy, Automotive Systems and Embedded Systems.
Combining a study with work and private life takes some getting used to. But organize it properly and it's easier than you think. You get so much more in return!
Part-time or full-time
You can also take on a full-time Control Systems master. Then you follow a 1.5-year program. Comparing full-time to part-time? Arrange a meeting with us to see which suits you best – no strings attached.
The Dutch way of learning
The atmosphere in a Dutch classroom is quite informal and your lecturers are easy to talk to. In fact, at Dutch universities like HAN, you’re seen as a partner in the learning process. Class sizes are small and your lecturers encourage you to actively participate in class. To ask questions. To give your own opinion. They also stimulate you to be creative. And to discover things for yourself.
