Introduction programmes for Master’s, Exchange and bridging students
February 2023
The Introduction Programme is designed to help give you a good start to your studies in Delft. The Introduction Programme introduces you to the university, to life in Delft, and to the multicultural student life that awaits you.
This year’s Introduction Programme (IP) offers three core elements as a part of a comprehensive programme for students from all around the globe. This programme has been put together to assure a kick-start to your studies in Delft. These elements are:
two Live online Q&A sessions, the Brightspace course, and the On Campus Introduction Programme.
Furthermore your faculty and/or programme offers more specific introductions. You will be informed on those element by the faculty.
TU Delft recommends you to participate in all three elements of the Introduction Programme. However, if circumstances prevent you from being on campus during the 5 days of the on Campus Introduction Programme, we encourage you to utilise the online elements which have been created to help you with the transition to TU Delft.
We are looking forward to meeting you during the Introduction Programme, during online sessions and/or during the On Campus programme.
