Systems Modeling and Applied Control
Semester 1 gives you the fundamentals in Engineering Systems. All tracks follow the Systems Modeling and Applied Control modules. Also, apply your knowledge directly during labs and real-life projects for industry. And fine-tune 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 the schedule of the modules for the Master Engineering Systems in semester 1 and 2.

Investigating an engineering systems issue
Your 3rd and final semester is devoted to your Major Project. That’s where you investigate a real-life issue in the industry. 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 your 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 new skills to work?
