International Office BK
The International Office wants to contribute to a better, diverse and international environment at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment. Therefore, we promote and facilitate mobility of students with the following services:
-
The International Office stimulates and facilitates mobility of outgoing and incoming students. We have bilateral agreements with partners all over the world. Our students can go to these partners for one semester and we receive their students (in general) for one semester.
If you are interested to study abroad, you can arrange this via our International Office. The main advantages are:
- You only pay tuition fee at your home university
- The courses can be added to your TUD transcript of records after your return
- In most cases, you can apply for a scholarship
- A lot of host universities help exchange students with the procedures, applying for visa, finding accommodation and so on
- In case there are problems, International Office can assist.
At our faculty:- You can go on exchange during the bachelor (BSc5) and/or during the master (MSc2; MBE & Geomatics: MSc3).
- Exchange is always for one full semester
More info about outgoing exchange can be found here, and please enrol to the Brightspace page ‘Study Abroad – BK’.
Incoming students get offered fixed course packages. International Office BK:
- Arranges the enrolment for the first semester. NB. After confirmation changes are not possible.
- Informs you about: what to do before departure, like transcript and signs all exchange related documents.
More practical information for incoming exchange students can be found here.
