The Bachelor Advanced Sensor Applications (ASA) is a four year programme, specialising in intelligent sensor innovation. The Bachelor consists of a one year introduction year and a three year main phase. The Hanze Institute of Technology (HIT) is the first international engineering school in The Netherlands and works in partnership with national and international leaders in the field of sensor technology. This is reflected in the institute’s state-of-the-art building and high-tech educational facilities. Although the Bachelor Programme specialises in sensor technology, it covers many disciplines, including electrical and mechanical engineering, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, computer science and human technology.[3]

The ASA Bachelor is the first of its kind to specialise in sensor technology. Sensor systems are extremely important in today’s world, influencing and affecting the lives of billions. The Bachelor Programme gives you the knowledge and skills to become an innovation leader with a broad focus and the ability to successfully apply technology within today’s world.

Exemption clause

Highly talented students may be eligible for admission directly into the three year main phase, thereby reducing study time by one year. Students need to demonstrate an outstanding knowledge in the fields of mathematics, science and English. Therefore, a higher IELTS test score of 6.5 or TOEFL iBT test score of 100 is required.

Furthermore, three personal essays describing the applicant's character and the factors that have had an impact on applicant's personal development,greatest achievements; and career goals.[4]

ISTeam

Deciding where and especially at what University to study is a once in a lifetime decision of each student and most likely will be a cornerstone for the future career. Obtaining detailed information about the University, the curriculum and the student life are crucial to make the right decision. The International Student (IS) Team consists of students from all over the world that had been through that decision themselves and therewith can pass on their valuable experiences as well as answer specific questions on a student-to-student perspective to ensure that prospective students make the right decision. The ISTeam can be contacted in every language.[5]
