There are several ways to be admitted to the MSc-program Systems and Control. Usually the MSc-program is a continuation of an academic BSc-program, however the master’s phase can also be entered after completing a BSc-program of a polytechnic high school.

  1. ACADEMIC BACHELOR DEGREE

Academic BSc-degree Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering (DUT, TUE, UT and IDEA-league)

Students holding an academic MSc-degree Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering of a Dutch University of Technology (Delft, Eindhoven or Twente) or a University which belongs to the IDEA-league (ETH Zürich, Imperial College London or Technische Universität Aachen) can enter the MSc program without selection.

A student in the BSc-program is permitted to do examinations of the MSc-program, if the examination committee approves. When the student has passed the propaedeutic examination and has a study result of the second and third year of at least 100 EC, including the BSc-thesis, the student can be conditionally admitted to the MSc-program, to take part in examinations of a few MSc-courses. Final admittance is granted after completing the BSc-program.

Academic BSc-degree Applied  Physics, Technical Mathematics, Technical Informatics or Chemical Engineering  (DUT, TUE, UT and IDEA-league)

Students in this category can enter the MSc-program without selection. In order to enter the MSc-program additional courses have to be taken. These courses are part of the elective courses in the Msc-program.

Applied Physics and Technical Mathematics

Technical Informatics and Chemical Engineering

The student can be conditionally admitted to the MSc-program, when the propaedeutic examination is passed and at least 100 EC of the second and third year of the BSc-program have been obtained. Final admittance is granted after completing the additional courses.

Other Academic BSc-degree from Technical University

The contents of the BSc-degree and study results of each candidate will be evaluated. The intake-coordinator of the examination committee is responsible for this selection. The selection procedure can result in:

• admission without additional requirements

• admission with additional requirements of no more than 14 EC. The additional requirements will be part of the elective courses of the chosen variant.

• admission with additional requirements between 14 and 43 EC. In this case 14 EC are part of the 120 EC of the normal MSc-program and 30 EC at most are additionally required above the standard MSc-program.

• no admission. The candidate has to obtain a relevant BSc-degree first. Within the BSc-program, exemption for some courses is possible, depending on earlier education.

Candidates having a BSc degree from a Dutch TH-program in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Applied Physics or Aerospace Engineering can be admitted. A requirement is that the candidate has completed the TH-Bachelors program within 4 years, with good results. The intake-coordinator of the Examination Committee is responsible for the selection of candidates. An additional program of 30 EC needs to be completed before the candidate is formally admitted to the MSc-program. The additional program is composed as follows:

• A core program of 16 EC of mathematics subjects from calculus, linear algebra and differential equations offered by the Department of Information Technology and Systems.

• Course "Analysis of Continuous-Time and Discrete-Time Dynamic Systems" (2 EC) offered by the Department of Information Technology and Systems (or a similar course offered by departments of Applied Physics or Mechanical Engineering).

• Course "Control systems" (6 EC) offered by the Department of InformationTechnology and Systems (or a similar course offered by the department of Mechanical Engineering).

• Elective courses chosen from the second and/or third year bachelor program of the Departments of Information Technology and Systems, Applied Physics or Mechanical Engineering.

These above subjects will be chosen in agreement with the MSc Coordinator according to the individual profile of the student and the schedule of the courses. The proposed upgrade program has to be approved by the Examination Committee.
