This is a demanding school.
However, at least in the case of computer science, there is a lot of pressure without too much intellectual results and progress. Only the course load is a lot and fast. If you want to be a good coder just get a job and practice at home.

Great Erasmus programme, a lot of internationals. The teachers are quite good. Usually, there are à lot of group projects and you really have to work so it is stimulating. The campus life is really cool with à lot of sport facilities !

Ok how can I start this. First with the positive remarks. First thing to say is that everything is fairly well organized, and everything is fairly well structured. Generally everything is communicated to us fairly well, and timely, and we’re usually well informed about certain situations and about our course materials. And also many nice places to study, along with a nice sports center. There’s various events always going on, from our study association, and from others.
Now with the negatives. At times I feel like some of the communication in English isn’t super clear since the translations weren’t fully accurate, and times where it would help to have an English translation for a Dutch page. Also, the sports center could maybe make a separate membership to use the gym that doesn’t include anything else (to save money)? Also, communication of the events maybe could be a bit better, since many times people just don’t know what’s going on.
But overall I’ve enjoyed my experience thus far, and look forward to continuing here 😀

This programme is composed of great content, from theory to practice, and the environment offers many useful facilities, including quiet study spaces, 3D printers and professional personal support. However, some courses deviate from their standards.

Regarding the curriculum and the topics covered by each course, the programme is great and all-encompassing. The programme gives a good foundation in mathematics that is relevant to computing, an understanding of the most low-level concepts about hardware, and other core subjects like algorithm design, database management, etc. It continues to explore some more modern content including machine learning, quantum computing and human-computer interaction. But most importantly, it does not get lost in the theory but keeps the student grounded with several group projects, many programming assignments, and a supervised internship at a local company of choice.

Unfortunately, it is not a perfect programme, and while I am generally very satisfied with it, I was disappointed with the way some individual courses were organised in terms of presentation and teaching quality. Several courses do not follow as high of a standard as the rest, and this can be disheartening when one has a particular interest in their content. They either lack a coherent structure or flow from topic to topic, making them difficult to follow, or lack deeper explanations of concepts within each topic, making students confused about what exactly they are expected to know. This weight sometimes carries over into other, well-organised courses to which students cannot dedicate as much attention.

Nevertheless, I found these courses to be exceptions, and my overall experience has been positive. I can also see that the individual courses are improving year to year, slowly but surely.

Outside of university, student life in Delft isn’t much of a sensation, but it is close to two large cities, each with great nightlife. After all, a peaceful surrounding is very welcome when studying, and that’s exactly what Delft is.

All considered, CSE at TU Delft offers the entire spectrum of subjects in the field of computing, all in a peaceful environment and great student life opportunities at the same time.
