Student review [#4030]
at Delft University of Technology - TU Delft

TU Delft is a top level technical institution that offers a huge portfolio of subjects. It is most renowned for aerospace/aeronautical engineering, civil engineering, applied physics (quantum computing), sustainable energy and biomedical engineering.
The faculty is highly qualified and pursuing cutting edge research. labs and equipment resources are exceptional and very accessible.
The university is very supportive of the student technical clubs, like student formula racing, bionic body suits, solar car design, hyperloop etc, provides a lot of equipment and encouragement for such endeavors.
The professors and students have the typical dutch direct no bullshit approach to life which, in my opinion, is something we could all learn from.
Delft is perfect for students who have an idea of the direction they want to take, research or corporate direction, and the university has resources and contacts that would set you up for your future. Although i do notice the balance is tilted more towards research, TU Delft does have a very good relationship with the industry sector and with the dutch government( especially for renewable energy). I did my Msc in Biomedical Engineering, and TU Delft professors have very good contacts and are very involved with the cutting edge research in the Netherlands, the highlights being the reactor institute and the Proton Therapy Center starting soon in Delft. Also collaborations with top medical institutions in the Netherlands.
It is a technical university, so it is understood that the curriculum is quite rigorous and demanding, but if the student has some initiative the faculty is very supportive and helpful. It does get a little stressful and does demand significant dedication and discipline.
Delft also supports cultural and social events, but it is significantly less than what you would have at other dutch universities.
Delft is a place for proactive people who are focused and show initiative in approaching challenges and opportunities. so don’t be a wallflower.
The downside is the fees is quite steep for international students (outside EU).
