    Not an official deadline. With a Dutch address you log in with DigiD, which the government says takes about five days. Without one you upload a scan or photo of your passport or EU identity card and Studielink verifies it automatically. Either way, do it well before 15 January.

What it is

You learn the fundamentals of electricity and magnetism through three societal themes: communication, such as chips using light signals and wireless protocols, healthcare, such as MRI scanners and electromagnetic therapies, and sustainable energy systems. Half of the curriculum is electrical engineering major subjects, the rest core subjects and a quarter electives, plus a pathway on the impact of technology on society. Teaching combines lectures, guided self-study and challenge-based projects, supported by part-time professors, guest lectures and excursions with companies in the Brainport Eindhoven region. Each student completes an individual Bachelor End Project.
