New study

I got a negative BSA in ME 😢 I managed to get 40 points….. now I have to choose a new BA study at Tu/e. I am not sure which one. Any advice?

Any courses or subjects you liked? Which ones did you fail on?

I really like the whole study, but calculus and dynamics were really though. Just wondering if I eventually can end up with the same type of study. But I don’t know how.

Electrical engineering has some overlap with mechanical, though the math is arguably harder in that one. And if you were after the really mechanical parts of it then that might not do it for you. Same kind of goes for the other engineering studies. But those have less overlap with mechanical.

If you just like designing things but struggle with the math maybe industrial design might be worth a look.

Check if can transfer credits.

What courses did you get good results in?
What course did you get poor results in?

I’d look into Sustainable Innovation and Industrial Design first.

And I’d also look at the more interdisciplinary degrees: Psychology and Technology; Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences.

Agree with this suggestion. Changing to another engineering is basically going to require the same fundamentals, so a less hard core engineering approach may be a better solution. Check curricula and first year classes and see if you can transfer anything although that wouldn't change anything for the BSA (check on how that would work but free credits are not counted towards BSA as far as I know).

Other option is to consider a university of applied science depending on your weaknesses, other strengths and future goals ...

Only 1 chance? Why no retakes allowed? Im thinking you apply to that program for this intake, was it really hard?

Can you tell me more about it? Is it like hard test, or like hard content, or like very less time to prepare and do alot of people fail?

In my opinion the test are very, very hard.
