Hello Asim,

You should send your question to internationaloffice@saxion.nl

You should ask questions about the master at masterappliednanotechnology.led@saxion.nl

The electrical engineering study does not have a short bachelor, it is a full four years. After that you can do a master. You should ask the international office (internationaloffice@saxion.nl) about the visa. It might be different for civil engineering, but then you should ask the civil engineering students (or the international office)

Hallo Bart,

1. Als je na je studie een master wil doen, moet je eerst een pre-master doen. Dit is een halfjaar aan vakken die als je minor kan doen, of tijdens een tussenjaar.
2. Je kunt overstappen naar een bachelor als je je propedeuse (eerstejaars diploma) behaald hebt. Je begint dan wel weer opnieuw in het eerste jaar.
3. Het programma werktuigbouwkunde is voor zo ver ik weet compleet in het Nederlands maar dat zou je moeten vragen aan een werktuigbouwkunde student.

Groeten,
Christiaan

Beste Cars,

Je hoeft geen Wiskunde B nodig om toegelaten te worden. Het wordt echter wel sterk geadviseerd.

Groeten,
Christiaan

Hello Vaikunth,

If you want to study the nanotechnology master of Saxion you can do this after you have finished your bachelor without further requirements.
If you want to study the nanotechnology master at the University of Twente you will need to do a premaster as your minor.

Hello Soniya,

You should contact the internation office of Saxion. They can be reached at internationaloffice@saxion.nl.
But I do not expect it to be a problem.

Hello Luis,

You are expected to be already speaking English good enough to follow classes.
There is an English courses but it is focussed on writing.

Hi Jan,

Dan moet je aan een deficiëntieonderzoek meedoen. Hier vind je meer info: https://www.saxion.nl/opleidingen/voltijd/bachelor/elektrotechniek/toelating.

Hi Anirudh,

That would be a great choice as the course programme for Electronic and Electrical Engineering is great. You find find all admission requirements at:

https://www.saxion.edu/programmes/bachelor/electrical-and-electronic-engineering/requirements

The course is entirely in English, so you do not need to know any Dutch to join. There are thousands of other international students and as you can imagine, not many of them speak Dutch at all (myself included). The only thing you will need to do is to provide an English proficiency certificate, although since you are from India it might not be necessary if your High School diploma states that your education is already in English language.

For costs, you can find all information including breakdown of separate fees on:

https://www.saxion.edu/studying-in-the-netherlands/finance-your-studies/tuition-fees

As a heads up, you will need over €13k for the first year, which includes tuition fees, accommodation for the year and visa fees.

Hope this helps!

Hi Petros,

Thank you for your message and apologies for the late response!
I will answer your questions below:
1) There are plenty of rooms advertised throughout Enschede, but there's also a lot of demand, so I suggest you start looking for a room as soon as possible if you're starting this September. You could be lucky and find a room within a couple of days, but depending on what you are looking for it could take you maybe 2 to 3 weeks to secure a place. I recommend you join the following Facebook groups as plenty of students advertise in them.

Saxion International Students Enschede
University of Twente - International
University of Twente - Marktplaats
Apartments in Enschede-Saxion students
Wohnungen in Enschede

2) I actually just finished the 1st year in Elektrotechniek with 100% approval, so I can answer this with some authority I hope :). I personally experienced about a 50% success rate of students going through to the second year. The reasons can be varied, as either the course turns out to be not interesting to a particular student, or most often unfortunately is because the student did not dedicate the right amount of time for self-study. Of course, people have different learning paces, but what I can assure you is that between colleagues there's a good sense of community, meaning that study groups are always formed and every one is happy to help, and in addition the professors are very helpful and available, as the culture here in the Netherlands and at Saxion is that the professors and students are at the same level, meaning you can always knock on their doors to ask for help.
All students who dedicated time to study and took the course seriously have been approved.

3) This is a definitely yes. There are so many different nationalities in the international class and although you require a minimum IELTS result to be admitted, you can notice different skill levels when it comes to speaking English. I can assure you though that the professors are aware that you will not be taking a course in your local language, as most of them are foreigners too! Even some of my colleagues that speak the least English between us have been successful in their studies.

Hope this answers all your questions and looking forward to potentially seeing you from September!

Hi Amin!

It's good to arrive at least one week before the introduction, so you have time to get familiar with the city. When I started, I arrived around mid-August.

You can get an impression of how the academic year looks like here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV5uS067ECg&list=PLVxbxX3iRJ2TQv9VYlk8-GtFb8qxS6DpJ

And regarding internships: It depends on the company.
Most internships pay a (small) fee, but it depends on the agreement you make with the company.
