Bachelor Programme
- Advanced Sensor Applications
The Bachelor Advanced Sensor Applications (ASA) is a four year programme, specialising in intelligent sensor innovation. The Bachelor consists of a one year introduction year and a three year main phase. The Institute of Engineering Assen is the first international engineering school in the Netherlands and works in partnership with national and international leaders in the field of sensor technology. This is reflected in the institute’s state-of-the-art building and high-tech educational facilities. Although the Bachelor Programme specialises in sensor technology, it covers many disciplines, including electrical and mechanical engineering, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, computer science and human technology.[3]
The ASA Bachelor is the first of its kind to specialise in sensor technology. Sensor systems are extremely important in today’s world, influencing and affecting the lives of billions. The Bachelor Programme gives you the knowledge and skills to become an innovation leader with a broad focus and the ability to successfully apply technology within today’s world.
Master Programme
- Sensor System Engineering
The Master Sensor System Engineering is a 1 or 1.5 years programme. During the first six months you will experiment with the technical possibilities provided by sensors. You will spend the second half of your master's programme working at innovative health related companies or research institutes such as Philips and the University Medical Center in Groningen (UMCG).
In Assen we have all the facilities you need to succeed, ranging from tools, equipments and technology to state of the art science and electronic labs.
