Program
The Cyber-Physical Systems program was devised together with our industry partners. During the program you also conduct applied research focusing on their needs. That way you can be sure you have the right knowledge and skills for the job market.
Cyber-Physical Systems in a nutshell
Cyber-Physical Systems is a track within the Master in Engineering Systems. In the 1st semester, you take the modules:
- Systems Modeling
- Applied Control
In the 2nd semester you choose 2 of these modules:
- Embedded Control
- Advanced Vehicle Dynamics
- Big Data & Small Data
The final part of the program is your major project. Here you do research on a cyber-physical systems issue.
Meet lecturers & students
Get an inside view of the Cyber-Physical program at HAN. Become a student for a day, join a sample lecture or meet 1:1 with a lecturer or student online. We are currently offering the following activities:
Systems modeling and applied control
Semester 1 gives you the fundamentals of systems modeling and applied control. Knowledge is immediately applied during labs and real-life projects for industry. Also important: you brush up on your communication and research skills.
Compulsory modules
In Systems Modeling you learn how to model systems using the white-box model. Applied Control is about analyzing a system or model.
Academic calendar
The academic year runs from September to August. In that time you have 42 weeks of education. The rest of the time you have holidays.
Modules and lecture days
Here you can find a weekly schedule of all the modules for the Master Engineering Systems in semester 1 and 2. This includes the modules for the Cyber-Physical Systems track.
Track-specific modules
In the 2nd semester you start to specialize in cyber-physical systems. You'll choose 2 elective modules from: Big Data & Small Data, Advanced Vehicle Dynamics and Embedded Control.

Investigating a cyber-physical systems issue
Your 3rd and final semester is devoted to your major project. That’s where you investigate a real-life issue related to cyber-physical systems. Where? At a company or research institute.
Major project
The major project is a final test of your ability to manage a project. And where you demonstrate your skills in communicating, reporting and presenting. You need to find a graduation project with an appropriate level and topic at a company or institution of your choice, and you will receive support from both a HAN staff member and a supervisor from the company or institution.
Master of Science
You’ve reached the finish line. You now have a Master of Science in Engineering Systems. Congratulations! The program you've completed is accredited by the Accreditation Organization of the Netherlands and Flanders (NVAO). That means you now have an internationally recognized degree. Where are you going to put your skills to work?
