1 Delft University of Technology MSc Programmes

2 Why TU Delft TU Delft is a public university which conducts cutting-edge research and provides first-class education. Most MSc programmes are research driven and thus challenge the student to dig deep to optimise their individual contributions. This work leads to excellent ties with industry and the creation of numerous technology-based (and often alumni owned) companies in close proximity to the university. TU Delft places a strong emphasis on encouraging and stimulating students to become creative and independent thinkers so that they will later become engineers capable of solving complex problems independently. In order to foster this attitude, much of the academic curriculum revolves around analysis and project-group problem solving along with writing reports and papers. TU Delft MSc programmes All MSc programmes are taught in English and will take two years to complete. The content of the first year of most programmes is comprised of theory, assignments and laboratory work. The second year is largely devoted to final thesis work and will involve participating in one of the university s advanced research or design projects, or completing an internship or research assignment in a company. Each academic year is divided into four periods of ten weeks. This means that you will have examinations four times a year. The first quarter begins in September and last quarter ends in July. Our MSc programmes offer different tracks which will enable you to specialise within your field of interest. When applying for a programme at TU Delft, some programmes will require you to immediately select a track. With other programmes you will be able to select your track of choice at a later stage. After graduating from your track, your diploma will list your MSc degree and will also specify your chosen track. TU Delft has adopted the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). Students are expected to obtain 60 European credits (EC) each academic year. Besides these TU Delft MSc programmes, TU Delft participates in a number of joint and double degree programmes. TU Delft also offers the possibility of joining the Honours Programme for those students who seek an additional challenge.

However, if the MSc programme does not follow directly from your undergraduate programme, you will be required to take additional courses. Students with a degree from a Dutch University of Applied Sciences (HBO) may be admitted if the main subject of their degree is closely related to the MSc programme they intend to pursue, and when they have passed the mathematics and English entrance exams. For most MSc programmes they are required to follow a bridging programme to compensate for subjects not covered in sufficient depth during their HBO programme (for example, mathematics and physics).
