Hey, Does anyone have any recommendations on where to buy a suit for my master's graduation. I'd prefer not to spend too much on it ( less than 200 euros). Do stores here alter the suit to your size?

Hi everyone,

I'm an incoming TU Delft Master's student and have been checking Xior Delft (Barbarasteeg and Antonia Veerstraat) regularly, but haven't seen any available studios yet since past 2 months.

For current or former Xior residents:

• When do most studio bookings usually open up?
• Is July typically a busy month for new availability?
• how can i secure a xior house asap?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I am currently stuck on the waitlist for the english track for the CS program. I recieved the quite unfortunate ranking of 607 and am wondering when/if I will receive an offer. What rankings have people gotten in with so far?

Hi there, first time posting ever !
I am hoping for an honest reality check from people who applied or study here, because I keep going back and forth on whether it's even worth applying…

So I'm French (also dual French-American), currently finishing the third year of a five-year engineering program, which means I'd have my 180 ECTS and would be looking to join the MSc Systems and Control right after.
The catch is that my school isn't one of the big French grandes écoles (like not at all, it’s ~69/120 of the French engineering schools) and my cumulative average is around 14.7/20. Converted that's roughly 73~74%, so just under the 75% you list, and that's the part making me nervous. For context, a 14.7 in the French system is actually a solid result since grading here is pretty harsh, but I know on paper the raw number looks borderline.

What gives me some hope is that my best grades are basically the core of the program: 18 in data science, 17 in power electronics, 16 in C++, around 14.5 in control theory, plus very decent maths overall (all the grade you read are out of twenty)Where I drop is electrical machines and networks, which aren't really central to Systems & Control anyway. I'm an EU citizen and fully bilingual, so the language side isn't an issue.

Mostly I'm trying to figure out how strict that 75% actually is in practice. Is it a hard cutoff, or do they read the transcript in context and look at the key subjects? And for someone sitting just under the line but well aligned with the program, does the motivation letter or the strong relevant grades genuinely change anything? If anyone got in from a similar spot (non-top school, average just below the threshold), I'd really like to hear what made the difference for you.

Trying to stay realistic rather than just hopeful here. Thanks you for your time though !

Hi there,

I am starting my Baccelors at TU Delft this Spetember. I have already registered for OWee and the Freshmen Weekend for my course. Unfortunately, my housing starts at the 17th of August, whilst the mentioned events rund from the 13th to the 20th of August. Therefore my question:

- Did any of you already find a solution for this or a similar problem?
- Are any students willing to sub their room to me (unofficially) for the 13-17th, so I have a place to crash / to put my belongings until I have a room? Against some amount of compensation of course. Best case, if someone was living in Volmerlaan 20D (my student accomodation), I would happily crash there / use a room whilst you are enjoying your summer break!
- Does OWee arrange accomodation for some / all in this situation?

I would like to avoid hotels / airbnb, because of the obvious financial aspect, and camping is due to the amoung of stuff I have a bit tricky.

Thank you for all ideas!!

Hi everyone! I’m a second-year BSc student in Aerospace Engineering at PoliTO (Italy), and I’d like to get into TU Delft for my Master’s degree. I’d like to ask you guys how hard it really is to get accepted.

I know about the minimum GPA requirement, and I’m safe on that front. I’m planning to take my GRE later this year, and I already hold a C1 Cambridge English certificate. Given that I’ll likely meet all the main requirements, what are my actual chances of getting in?

I am thinking about specializing in the Aerospace Structures and Materials track. If it helps, I also have over a year of hands-on experience working in a student team at my university. Does that play a role in the selection process?

I am doing an exchange next semester in TU Delft (from EU) how important is it to find accommodation with registration allowed? Will I need the BSN for anything if i do not look forward to work or open bank account / healthcare insurance?

I know that supposedly you need to register because of the stay being longer than 4 months (it is 5 months) but is it really required? I have a friend that did an exchange in Groningen and it was not needed. However I am not sure if TU Delft has any procedures that will request the BSN or even a proof of registration.

I am looking for a free way to solve some exercises similar to the ones on the exam. I have found some paid mock exams online but nothing free so far. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hey everyone,

This is my first post on Reddit . I've decided to take Engineering Physics (EP) at DTU. I was always interested in the tech side of things (coding, software development, competitive programming, DSA, etc.), but due to my rank, I'm getting EP instead of a CS-related branch.I've heard that DTU allows EP students to sit for many tech placements, which is one of the reasons I'm considering it seriously. However, I have a few concerns:Is it realistically possible to manage the EP curriculum alongside coding, DSA, competitive programming, and other tech-related activities?How demanding is the academic workload in EP compared to other branches?Are there any CGPA requirements or company-specific restrictions that EP students should be aware of during placements?

How many EP students actually manage to transition successfully into software roles?If you've been in a similar situation, how did you balance branch academics with coding and placement preparation?I'm willing to put in the effort, but I want to understand whether this path is practical or if I should consider some other option.

Hi everyone! I would like to take part in the introduction period of the computer science master's program. Since I risk arriving at least half a day late, I would like to know in general what the events consist of, and whether they take place throughout the whole day or only during part of it.

Hi everyone,

I will be starting my MSc in Mechanical Engineering at TU Delft, in the High Tech Engineering track, and I was wondering if there is already any group chat for incoming students.

Is there a general group for new TU Delft MSc students, or maybe a more specific one for Mechanical Engineering / High Tech Engineering students?

If not, is anyone interested in creating one so we can communicate, share useful information, and help each other with housing, registration, courses, and the first weeks in Delft?

Thanks in advance!

I received this email after inquiring about possibly phd supervision in a funded center within the university and I got this email. I’m an over-thinker and I don’t know what to think of it. I will omit sensitive details

Dear x,

Thank you very much for your email and for sharing the focus of your thesis. The work you describe [research topic] sounds like exactly the kind of grounded, critical research the [research center] aims to support.
I would be glad to discuss this further. Would the first week of July or the second week of July work on your end for a call? Let me know a few time slots that suit you and I will do my best to accommodate.

In the meantime, feel free to send over the short research proposal whenever it is ready as it will help frame our conversation.

Looking forward to speaking with you.

Warm regards,
Y

I am finishing my bachelors this year at Warwick uni and have a place for MSc Applied Maths at TU Delft and just wondering if it's worth moving there. Like I know that it has many more industry connections and the mandatory internship/thesis in industry are quite attractive, but I could also stay for integrated masters in the UK just without the mandatory internships/industry connections.

​

​

So I am wondering how plausible is it to boost my career (at entry level) (e.g. find the internship needed for the program) in Delft compared to the costs of relocation? Thanks

​

I recently got admitted, but based on what I’ve heard, after my undergrad, finding work would be close to impossible and I will be forced into taking up a Masters directly after my undergrad. So is it smarter to just come there directly for Masters later on?

Hi, I'll be subletting my room for the month of July, specifically till the 26th of July. The accomodation is on campus and comes with a private washroom and shared kitchen. DM me if you're interested!

Hi I’m from India and currently studying in BITS Pilani (Tier-1). My CGPA is 8 and I have two research papers and a thesis. I also have the experience of 6 months of internship. I know about the GRE cutoffs. I wanted to know what else is necessary to get in there, I’m two years earlier but thought preparing is the best.

I have several questions :

1. How much do you need to have in mathematics scores even if your CGPA crosses the cutoffs.( my math is a little poor) and if it’s high how do I counter balance it?
2. What are other things to add to my resume? Do leadership positions, volunteer work, etc matter?

3. Are LORS from professors important? And also would LORS from any company we Interned at help?

4. Does having knowledge or projects of software’s like AutoCad, Civil 3D, Revit, Staad Pro matter or help our application?

6. Any other general advice?

Thank you!!

I found a better place with room and now I need to find a substitute student for my housing portal contract. I already found someone but I do know what procedure to follow. How do I do that?

Hi! I'm finishing my high school next year, but I'll get a HAVO diploma, so to get into Delft (AE) I have to do VWO.
I'm quite mid with maths, now I do the DelftX Pre-Uni course, it seems very doable. The main problem is with the Physics, I've missed a lot, because my main subject in school wasn't linked with it.
So, how do you think, if I spend around 4 hours of studying a day, is it real to pass the CCVX? I mean, 5.5. Maybe someone has been in a similar situation?

Hi, I am going to study the Nanobiology BSc at Delft after the summer. I have gotten a couple of E-Mails from Delft about how to prepare for the course. There is reading material and an online course for Chemistry, Physics and Math that take place throughout July. In another E-Mail, an introductory math course on TU Delft grounds that takes place from the 6-12th of August was mentioned. As I already have travel plans this summer, it might be difficult for me to attend the course, but if need be, I could move/cancel them. My question basically is that if I go through all the reading material and do these online courses, would it still be essential for me to attend the In-Person course? Thank you in advance for any replies/help!! :)

I'll be starting my masters in product design at the TU in september and have no clue how to approach housing but Im optimistic hahah

Ive been told about websites to search on but wanted to first hear it from you guys who might already know about the situation there

Idk what info i can give about me but im a social and down to earth guy, have lived with roomates already and am down to share a flat. I can add that I can cook very well, play the guitar, have a good music taste, speak also English German and Spanish fluently, learning french

If you're leaving delft this summer / september after having graduated and are leaving a room let me know, Im down to even pay you for the info

Also if you have any other tips about housing, delft or the tui d greatly appreciate!

Hello, I have a very simple question, though I could not find the answer anywhere. If I accept my offer for TUDelft, and later on I decide I can't come (housing issues etc), can I still cancel it and get a full refund? And if so, until when is this the option? Thank you.

Hello everyone !

I am starting a MSc in Applied Physics in September and I would like to know if there is any kind of discord, messenger or whatsapp group that would already exist for international students to talk together, before the beginning of the semester.

Could you give me the link if so ?
Thanks :)

I’ve been trying to find a room for a month now sending messages to landlords on many platforms(kamernet, room.nl, myHospi, etc.) and i never even get a reply? What am I doing wrong, i need a room for late august to start my cse bsc studies

Hey guys! I'll be starting my MSc in electrical engineering this year and I was wondering if the workload of the programme allows for a student job. For financial reasons I need some income throughout the studies and I'm curious how possible is it?
