Hi,

I am at the age that i have to choose my first bachelor. I live in the Netherlands and i like maths and physics. I am contemplating between EE and a specific double bachelor with Physics/astronomy and maths. It seems interesting but i have heard that jobs are most found after an engineering study like EE. I find both of these interesting as a like theory but also like doing stuff.

Physics and maths is closer to my home which makes it accessible with public transport while EE is in two/three cities that are far enough that i have to live there which is nit really a step i want to take if i am going alone(i am probably).

But yeah, if you can tell me something about your experience with the study, job opportunities or anything else really that would help so much.

I can give more info if you want.

I also went to the engineering subreddits and they advised on engineering(of course)

Hi, im in my last year of highschool and i have to choose a study. I can pick 4 and I’ll eventually have to go for one. If you chose one of these or have knowledge about it, please share it with me. Thank you.

I live in Amsterdam btw

Mathematics:

If i were to go for maths i would do it in my city. I got good grades and i find it pretty interesting but it lacks science which i also like.

Electrical engineering:

My options would be Delft or Twente. Delft is an okay city but the housing seems to be more of a problem than at UTwente. I like the physics behind EE but i just don’t like how far they are from my city, i HAVE to move but i would probably go on my own as i do not have friends that are going there and i would miss them and my home probably. But then again, meeting new people is also good.

Astronomy/physics and mathematics:

This also got my interest as i like both subjects but i am doubtful of the job opportunities after this as it is not an engineering field. It is at Utrecht and that i find doable if i were to go with public transport as i have to bike a bit, get a train and bike again.

4th:

I dont have one, but any ideas or recommendations i can consider are always welcome

If you need more information i am glad to help.
