Student Counsellors

The Student Counsellors from Career & Counselling Services are available to assist all TU Delft Students. We offer a broad range of services to assist you.

Your first point of contact if you have questions or problems concerning your degree programme is your academic counsellor in the faculty. Your academic counsellor may refer you to the student counsellors for:

Financial support if you fall behind with your work because of exceptional circumstances
Facilities and short-term support for those studying with a disability (Horizon) or chronic illness
Support in submitting an application to a particular fund or in dealing with complex issues concerning the (future) funding of your degree programme
Support in submitting a complaint or objection (education-related)
Support with complex issues concerning schemes, regulations and/or facilities

It is advisable to seek help in good time. This not only increases the chance of your receiving effective support; eligibility for some schemes is conditional on enlisting support at an early stage.

Do you have a question for the student counsellors? If so, send an email to centralcounsellors@tudelft.nl or visit our (online) walk-in hours. Our office hours are online via Teams, where we can help you with short personal, financial and legal questions related to your study. You are expected to register in advance. Click here before 11:00 AM to select a time slot. After 11.00 AM please select a time slot for the next day. The meeting will always use your student account of the TU Delft. After you’ve selected a time slot you’ll receive the link for this online meeting from the central student counsellor, who will have this conversation with you, on your student account. If you prefer a meeting on campus, please send a message to centralcounsellors@tudelft.nl.

Student counsellor sessions are free of charge. All discussions are kept confidential. If necessary, we can arrange for contact with other advisers and support agencies within or outside the university.
