Hi everyone,

I’m a 22 year old CS graduate with around 1 year of backend experience (PHP/Laravel), and I’m looking to transition into embedded systems since I find it much more interesting.

I am stuck between 2 choices:

MSc in Embedded Systems (TU Eindhoven)

• Accepts CS majors (includes a bridge/pre-master year)
• Pre Master courses include: Circuits, Premaster Linear Systems, Signals and Control, Computer Architecture, Electronic Circuits I
• Total duration: 3 years (1+2)

Second BSc in Electrical Engineering (TU Eindhoven)

• Start from scratch in EE
• In the Netherlands, a Bachelor’s alone is not considered complete so I would likely need a Master’s afterwards to be competitive in the job market
• Total duration: 5 years (3+2)

Regardless of the two routes, I most probably want to end up in embedded. However, it is possible that I could change my mind if I find a new area that interests me more during my EE degree. Ιt might also be worth noting, that I originally wanted to pursue an EE bachelor instead of CS but due to unfortunate circumstances I ended up in CS.

What do you think? I would really appreciate any advice
