International experience

You can find the regulations applying to international experience for the academic year 2022-2023 here.

Incoming international students can find information on how to apply for an exchange program at TU/e here and on services for exchange students here. 

Incoming students can participate in two international programs: SENSE and PIXNET.   

If you wish to study abroad you have plenty of opportunities.  

You can do your internship and/or graduation project outside of the Netherlands. A good starting point for arranging this at a great many of universities, research institutions and companies abroad is the network of the EE staff and EE research groups. Many of our staff have excellent connections with researchers and companies abroad. If you are interested in going abroad for your internship and/or graduation project talk to your graduation supervisor about the possibilities. 

Please visit this website to learn more about the application process (via Mobility Online) for an outgoing internship and/or project. 

It is very important that whenever you receive a contract for an international internship or graduation, to send the contract to the CSA EE before signing the contract. The CSA EE will help you with checking the (legal) contents and will make sure the contract is signed by the right persons within the EE department.  

You can also go abroad for elective courses. You could for instance combine an internship at a university with a couple of elective courses at the same university. If you are interested in going abroad for courses talk to your mentor about the possibilities. 

Please visit this website to learn more about the application process (via Mobility Online) for outgoing courses. 

There are many bilateral agreements with ERASMUS partners in Europe (in countries such as Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the UK). For more information about ERASMUS partners relevant for EE, please contact International Office EE or CSA EE. 

The TU/e also has an agreement with the National University of Singapore to exchange some 10-12 students per year. For the EE department one student is eligible for this exchange in the 2nd semester.  

Wherever you go, speaking the local language enhances your international experience. Take the time to work on this. The Language Center (CLIC) at the TU/e has many facilities to help you with this. 

Contact the International Office EE, email ee.exchange@remove-this.tue.nl, telephone +31(0)402478762. It is important to allow enough time to prepare your international experience. There are many sources of information: this page is a great place to start.
