What courses are taught in English?

Hello! I'm planning on studying abroad coming from Australia. Although I am learning Dutch I'm not confident that on top of my current studies I would be able to reach a proficient enough level to understand the course content. I am planning on studying mechanical engineering. Is this taught in English and is there a list somewhere of all the courses taught in English?

Edit: all good now thanks for the replies, I had heard from a friend they offered many English bachelors and was mildly confused when I could only find 4 in stem as I presumed there were more. Mb.

CSE crisis

Guys I’m probably going to fail IP, CO and R&L for Q1 (first year CSE BSc). I had lots of issues catching up and understanding the basics of IP and CO.

It’s going to be a very low grade for the endterm for CO and IP.

Do you guys think if I grind Q2,Q3 and Q4 I’ll be able to pass the BSA? Please only answer if you’re currently year 2 or higher BSc.

Observation theory MOOC

Not a TU Delft student. I am planning on taking the MOOC on Observation Theory. Can anybody who has done it before tell me how hard it is? To get awarded the certificate, do I have to pass a final test?

Bike stolen/removed on campus at IDE

Hi, does anyone know if bikes that are improperly parked on the campus also get removed to the depot in The Hague? My bike disappeared from the bike parking at IDE, did it just get stolen or is it possible that it was removed.

Thankss in advance

Diploma supplement instead of transcript?

Hi all, has anyone applied to Delft using their diploma supplement instead of transcript? I graduated from an Italian university and received the diploma supplement (digital file) directly through my student portal. I’m not able to be in Europe to pick up my official transcript with the school stamp, so I’d like to ask if it’s possible to apply to Master’s degrees at Delft with just my digital diploma supplement file? Thanks in advance!

Where is the best place to study?

So, as the name suggests where is the best place to study for every day purposes (not in the exam period)? The library is great: comfortable chairs, silent when you put headphones, enough desk space, but it is too overcrowded.
Thus, if you can please write some spaces (preferably with comfy chairs).

Thanks in advance.

Human Research ethics committee

Hello, everyone; I have a very simple question regarding the ethics committee. I'm a master's student at XYZ University and doing my thesis under a professor at IHE Delft. My thesis requires ethics committee approval. I checked the IHE delft website, and I couldn't find anything related to that, but there was a lot of information on the TU delft page regarding the same. So, I want to know, in order to apply at HREC, should I just apply at the TU Delft portal, or does IHE Delft have a separate HREC department or team? I want to gather some information on this before emailing my supervisor. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Should I submit my GRE scores if they are not required?

So I took the GRE for the first time and got 162Q and 155V. I am applying for MSc Robotics which does not require me sending GRE scores at all, but I can if I want to show that I went the extra mile.

At the same time, TU Delft has this on its page for the programs that do need GRE - "Your GRE test scores are an important part of your application and you should strive to submit the best possible scores. We do not set minimum GRE scores, but we look for applicants who attain a minimum score of 154 for Verbal Reasoning, 163 for Quantitative Reasoning, and 4.0 for Analytical Writing. We reserve the right to reject applicants who do not have these scores."

Should I still submit my GRE scores? Will they actually benefit me or bring my application down?

How strict are Delft admission requirements for Masters in Data Science & AI?

I studied maths in undergrad, with a few subjects in computer science. I have worked professionally as a data scientist for 4 years. I don't have all the application requirements listed here: https://www.tudelft.nl/en/onderwijs/opleidingen/masters/data-science-and-artificial-intelligence-technology/msc-data-science-and-artificial-intelligence-technology/admission-and-application , particularly the "Computer Systems" and "Software Development Fundamentals" sections.

I have very good grades (top of my university cohort in mathematics at a pretty good uni) and a reference from a CS professor I TA'd for.

Does anyone know if they are willing to be flexible on the requirements? If so, then I will apply, but don't want to waste my time otherwise.

Joining TUD research group as a student from another uni

Hi

I’m a student in university in France, I’d like to join one of the research groups at TUD which has the same area of interest as my Masters ( CS, distributed systems ) for a short period of time, let’s say 3-4 months around the summer. Is it possible? How to approach this situation?

Thanks for all the answers!

Phd student-query about TA

Hi, I am an international potential Phd student at TU Delft, most probably under ME department.

If I do a PhD at TU Delft, I am able to sponsor myself financially for 2 years (company pays it). As for the remaining part I am curious about what opportunities can I have to earn?

Are TA (teaching assistantships) available to PhD students as well, if so what is their monthly pay? I read a bit about it but as I could understand it was for undergraduate students (per hour pay 16/- , paid weekly etc). Also, I couldn’t understand the terms they used while describing levels. I am accustomed to the US system where when you are a PhD student, you are either a TA or an RA, and mostly both are paid equally.

Any guidance would be highly appreciated!!

Studio available at the Social Hub The Hague

Hello, I am a student at Leiden university and I currently live in a 25-m2 studio (with my own kitchenette) at The Social Hub The Hague with a contract until 30 June 2025. The all-inclusive monthly rent is between EUR 1500 and EUR 1550 (it depends on the number of days in the month). I would like to move to a different accommodation, and so I would like to transfer my contract. The transfer (move-in) date would be from 01-January-2025. The person taking over needs to sign the transfer contract (and leave a one-month deposit) with the Social Hub at least one month before the transfer date, i.e. by 01-December-2024. If interested, please do not hesitate to contact me for more details or to visit the place.

Update: move-in date can be 01 January or 01 February.

Do we have to use Europass format for masters application CVs?

The university recommends using Europass format, but it is too spaced out. Is it okay if I use other formats which fit more information?

Also, is a photograph necessary on the CV?

MSc Aerospace Engineering from a different BSc

Hi! I am planning to apply for TU Delft's MSc Aerospace Engineering, particularly the Space track, this year. However, I am not certain if I am eligible to apply. I am a graduate of BSc Applied Physics from an Asian country, and I have some experience in aerospace-related research and extra-curricular activities during my undergraduate studies. I saw in their website that those who completed a degree from a Dutch University can undergo bridging program. However, there seems to be none for international students. Does TU Delft admit international students who do not have a BSc Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering? If yes, what are the chances? I can't seem to find anyone from LinkedIn.

Dual Baccalaureat diploma. Not sure which to choose

Ik it's early for this but I wanted to get everything together asap I am from Spain and I take a dual diploma, the IB and the Spanish national diploma. I take English in Spanish diploma and in IB I take English B HL and a G4 subject in English (earning the bilingual diploma). However I am not sure if Delft accepts the bilingual diploma as proof of English (since they don't with English B even on HL), or the English taken in the Spanish diploma.

Advice for Masters application

I am currently creating my CV for my masters application. I directly planning to join after my bachelors degree ends. On the website, they have told us to submit an extensive CV and it can be maximum 3 pages. I have a lot of talk about. Research, Internships, Extracurriculars, etc.. Moreover, Europass CVs are very spaced out and the content density is generally low. Thus, My CV has become exactly 3 pages.

I am worried that the panel which reviews my application might find my 3 page long CV as overconfident, boastful, or straight up rude because its not like I have worked for 5 years. I am directly applying after my undergrad. The content is not rubbish. There are genuinely a lot of things, but this is giving me a little bit of anxiety.

In my other formats (which I use in my country), everything is rather cramped up and has a lot of density compared to Europass. In those formats, my CV is only 2 pages long.

Should I reduce the content or is it fine anyway?

Required physics level

Hi, I’m thinking of going to TU to study BSc in aerospace engineering . I’m from Czech Republic, so I will have the EB diploma in maths, but not physics. I’m attending an engineering high school which doesnt have physics as one of the EB subjects. My question is, can I obtain some kind of certificate which is at the level of EB physics and use it for applying?

Starting PhD in January: Resources for foreign students?

So I'm starting a PhD program at TU Delft in January. I'm moving from the US, I've never lived in NL before.

I've been trying to ask for help from HR to understand what I need to know to work and live in NL, but they've ignored multiple emails and only give partial responses when they do. Is this common?

Are there any resources for foreign students other than the Coming to Delft webpage?

Inquiry about the Management in Built Environment Program at TU Delft

Hi,

I recently came across your post regarding the "Management in the Built Environment" program at TU Delft. I am planning to apply and would appreciate your guidance on a few aspects.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, having graduated in 2021(CGPA - 9.2 /10). Since then, I’ve worked for three years as a Project Coordinator at an AEC consultancy firm in Qatar. My professional experience has sparked a strong interest in building systems and, over time, has led me toward management in the built environment track.

After reviewing the course structure, I’m particularly drawn to the design and construction management aspects of the program. However, I noticed that the eligibility criteria do not specifically mention whether mechanical engineers with relevant work experience are considered for admission.

Could anyone please advise on how best to approach my application and highlight my experience effectively for this program?
