What students and alumni say

“The programme was broader than I anticipated, allowing me to explore diverse topics such as mathematics, robotics, and materials science. Once I graduate, I will start working for ASML as a system integrator, where I can apply my technical knowledge from the Master’s programme.”
Niek Veldboom
MSc Mechanical Engineering
“What I like about the field of systems and control is that it is multidisciplinary; it’s a combination of mathematics, physics, and computing science. This combination ensures that you stay aware of the practical implementations of the theory that is being discussed.”
Marieke Heidema
MSc Systems and Control
