Student review [#21834] for Aerospace Engineering
at Delft University of Technology - TU Delft

The space flight master track is amazing for anyone interested in either space engineering or space exploration. Everyone attending this track can explore their preferred topics of interest, as almost all the courses are electives, and the students can choose to attend some in other faculties or at University of Leiden. The environment is very stimulating, with courses being taught by capable professionals and several workshops held by employees of space agencies. Furthermore, the program involves a mandatory internship, allowing the students to have a first professional experience. I find the importance given to the thesis project to be refreshing: students work on their project for several months, without the external distraction of mandatory courses and exams, furthermore, it gives them an insight into how working full time on research is. However, this means that all the credits dedicated to courses are concentrated into a few months, which means that the first year is hectic, to say the least. Accommodation can also be difficult, as the university is not able to provide housing on Delft to all of its students, which means that many need to commute from adjacent cities.
TU Delft is an extremely diverse university, with almost half of the students being international. Furthermore, there are many clubs, associations, and student teams that students can join.
