Free Elective Space

You can spend half a year of your programme on whatever subject you want to study. You have complete freedom of choice! You can choose to delve deeper into electrical engineering, or broaden your education with another subject of your interest. You can follow a six-month programme (called a minor) in electrical engineering, or another programme such as mechanical engineering. You could also follow a minor at another department of the Hanze, or even at another university of applied science in the Netherlands or abroad! In short; enough choice! No idea yet what you want? No problem! During your programme you’ll find out quickly enough what interests you and you’ll have plenty of time to choose.
