Student review [#11898] for Chemistry and Materials Engineering
at Eindhoven University of Technology - TU/e

I am an international student from India and I basically joined TU/e for not only its renowned level of education but also its welcoming attitude towards international students. The decision to come here has undoubtedly been one of the best decisions I have taken in my life towards a better career. The education techniques, exams and approach towards any subject at the university has always been application based (instead of just theory based) which has helped me a lot in understanding the use of this knowledge in actual industrial or research problems. It has also been announced that the university would be changing its official language to english in 2020 but the Masters Programme has been delivered in english for several years now. From my personal experience, I would say that it has been a life-changing and a good experience to step out of my comfort zone to go to a new country and and try to set up a new life here. Although the university has several international students on campus and many committees and other sports or recreational activities to increase the communication between the dutch and the international students, at the end of the day it depends on the student on how much he/she can open up to others and adjust to the new surroundings. I have personally learnt a lot from this experience as well. Overall my experience at TUe has been quite educational and eye-opening on both personal and professional levels.
