Phase 1 | In the first phase, we lay a solid foundation. You will build your first analogue and digital circuits and gain experience in programming microcontrollers. You will then apply this knowledge yourself in a project of your own choosing.
Phase 2 | In the Embedded Software specialisation, you’ll learn how to create reliable applications for both desktop and embedded systems. During the Practice Enterprise 2 module, you’ll spend several months working on a project of your choice.
Phase 3 | In the final phase, you’ll learn how to bring embedded systems to life, from installing an operating system to creating an application or setting up a service. During this final semester, you’ll be prepared for the world of work, and the Bachelor’s thesis plays a major role.
Below you can find an overview of the courses ( under reservation of changes), with the number of credits per phase. Credits express how many hours you need on average to process the subject matter (incl. lessons). Count about 25 to 30 hours for 1 study credit.
