Matching & Selection procedure
The procedure consists of two parts: The Matching part of the procedure is meant to give you an insight in if CSE at the TU Delft is the right choice for you. You have to complete the Matching elements in order to receive a ranking number, but they do not influence your place in the ranking. Your performance in the Selection part of the procedure will determine your place in the final ranking. For the selection part all candidates will be tested on three selection criteria: 1. Mathematics, 2. Systematic Reasoning & Logical Thinking, 3. Algorithmic & Computational Thinking.
