Electives as ELA
As one of the options in the first phase of your third year you can choose five TU/e electives as part of your program. You can choose electives which will support you in expanding your knowledge in specific expertise areas and improve your competency development including your professional identity and vision.
Your complete elective package in the entire program consists of 50 ECTS, 25 ECTS of these are done as part of the external learning activity. You can choose electives from both inside the ID department and from other departments at the TU/e. Please note that following non ID electives is always considered as 'outside of ID'. Make sure you check the information on the elective requirements here.
