The study is good but it is too much and tried to teach too much in 3 years. Lots of students suffer from depression or burnout due to this permanent high stress. The hybrid online/ on campus teaching did not make this better.

I really enjoyed my time as a student at TU Delft. The first year was filled with courses, assignments and exams, where you learn to be an independent and critical researcher and thinker. Personally, I really enjoyed the fact that my program included a curricular internship: I got to experience a true workplace, gained a lot of hands-on practice and I feel that thanks to this I have better career prospects. Moreover, I really appreciated the many opportunities that TU Delft gives to its students. While studying, it is possible to have part-time jobs at the faculty, to join student teams, to work on your own start-up, to be part of sports teams and clubs.
On the negative side, one thing I did not like was working on the thesis. It is a very long individual project, so sometimes it is hard to keep up the motivation. Luckily, the international and friendly environment really makes it all better!

I would recommend the TUDelft but for some degrees, you definitely need more time than the official duration of the curriculum. The TUDelft also offers great extracurricular activities and supports them.

The level of the courses taught is very high, higher than at many other universities. Also there are lots of other extra-curricular activities provided so the students gain other, practical experience, such as the Nuna or Ecorunner dreamteams.

Its young students, as well as PhDs, are doing perfectly well and outstanding cutting-edge research. I highly recommend this university for those who want a good research platform and healthy life altogether.

I study the master of Applied Physics at TU Delft. I would really recommend this university! I came here without any precise expectation, just to prove myself in a new environment and what I found is a very well organised university from various points of view.
On the first hand, the first two weeks I came here were an “Introduction Programme” where you get used to the place and have a lot of social activities. I really appreciated this because it gave me the possibility, as an international student just arrived in the university, to get to know a lot of people and start making new friends. Furthermore, even throughout the year there are still a lot of social activities linked to the university (faculty pubs every week and even special events).
On the second hand, from an academic point of view, the university is full of opportunities, especially if you look actively for it. Of course from this point on I will mainly talk about my course. My faculty has a lot of contacts with companies and graduated people (I could meet various people that graduated in the past, and that let me to get an understanding of where I could end up after this studies), very good research facilities (there’s a clean room that, I’ve been told, is quite important at the european level) and a lot of extra-curricular events. Last but not least, all the staff (professors, PhDs, postdocs, student counsellor,…) are very friendly and available and I can’t stress enough how much that helps in your academic career.
It is, though, a quite demanding course that requires a lot of commitment and, depending on the person, can cause a lot of stress.

Coming to TUDelft was for me a jump into the void. I didn’t know what to expect, just that I would study aerospace engineering and that I would have to find out how to organise my life on my own.
Surprisingly, the introduction to student life went very smoothly thanks to the multiple programs the TUDelft makes for this very purpose. The study load is also balanced and you can be rewarded with high grades without having to die for it (although you’ll still sweat ;). I had a great time this last 3 years here, both enjoying the study programme and making many international friends.
The only issue I have found is that if they don’t do research in a certain area you won’t be allowed to do your master thesis on such topics, even through internship or collaboration with another uni (this at least applies to aerospace).
Anyways, if you can find a department that you like, which won’t be difficult, I would definitely recommend to consider coming to the TUDelft (some people call it the MIT of Europe!)
