The University of Applied Sciences (HBO) Automotive Engineering Programme takes 4 years and the teaching materials consist of theory, practical sessions and project work. Every student follows the same programme for the first 2 years. From the 3rd academic year onwards, you have multiple choices focused on your specific interests. In particular, your choice of internship and minor help you give your studies your own specific direction and substance. If you devote 40 hours per week to your studies, you will definitely make it.
Theory: 60%
Self study: 25%
Practical work: 15%
The first year is primarily focused on orienting your studies and future profession. You are introduced to the automotive engineer’s broad engineering domain and you establish an initial theoretical basis that will enable you to start working as an automotive engineer in the future. The lectures cover the theory, which you can immediately apply in practicals and projects. A sample of the subjects covered: motor dynamics, vehicle dynamics, mechanics and materials science. Mathematics is a common thread throughout your studies. We will help you with additional lectures should you require any help with mathematics.

Starting in the second academic year, you will expand your automotive knowledge and engineering skills and you will increasingly gain insight into the connection between certain subjects. The thinking process becomes more abstract and projects become more complicated, but challenge you to engage in creative, out-of-the-box thinking. You will do all this in collaboration with your fellow students. In addition to taking specific automotive subjects in the engineering domain, such as motor dynamics, vehicle dynamics, vehicle electrical engineering, materials science (light-weight structures are becoming increasingly more important), electrical drive trains and motor management systems, you will also take subjects such as mechanics, thermodynamics, electrical engineering and process control systems.
Having completed a senior general secondary education (HAVO) or a pre-university education (VWO) programme, it is certainly possible for you to enrol in an automotive study programme, even without a great deal of previous technical experience. Yet, without sufficient knowledge of Mathematics B in particular, it is possible for you to experience knowledge gaps in the area of mathematics.
In this case, you have the option of taking a short course to help bring your mathematics skills up to par. You will find additional information on this topic here.
If you effectively follow the programme from the very beginning and you consistently keep up with the work load, you should virtually always be able to complete this programme without any major difficulties.
MBO students can of course enrol as well. If you are enrolling after completing your MBO studies, you have the option of updating your knowledge of mathematics and physics through means of the MBO to University of Applied Sciences (HBO) Transition Cours
In the first half of the third academic year you will spend 20 weeks in an internship. This is the perfect opportunity for you to put into practice what you have learned during you study programme. You will be entering the job market! You will complete an internship in a company in the Netherlands or abroad. Naturally we will help you with the selection of your internship.
In the second half of the thirs academic year of your bachelor programme Automotive Engineering you will do your minor programme. All Fontys full-time bachelor's degree programmes consist of a major and a minor. The major is the core of the programme and provides the basic programme. The major Automotive engineering will prepare you for your future profession. The minor is an elective programme of one semester. As a full-time student, you can opt for a broadening Fontys minor in any study field or you choose for a deepening minor offered by Automotive Engineering, Electric Drive or Motorsport Engineering. The choice is yours. Even minors outside Fontys UAS and abroad are possible. With the minor you give your study an extra boost.
In Semester 7, thefirst semester of the 4th year, the programme devotes attention to the spearheads of AutomotiveNL, the cluster organisation for the Dutch automotive industry, mobility sector and automotive education sector:
In the 4th year of your bachelor programme in Automotive engineering you will do your specialisation semester. Your programme will be composed of 30 credits divided as such:
The second semester of the 4th year, semester 8, will be your graduation internship period. Normally you will work and study in a compnay; for the conclusion of your graduation internship period, you will write a bachelor thesis. At the end of the programme you will have achieved 240 credits which will lead to the allocation of the Bachelor of Science degree.
Applicant must have High School Passed
