Reception Day
On Friday 30 August 2024, we welcome every first-year master student at the Master Kick-off Day.

Laptop Project
The TU Delft offers both BSc and MSc students the possibility to buy a laptop. For Aerospace Engineering it is highly recommended that students use a Microsoft Windows operating system on a high-end laptop. The required installation of specific AE software during your studies may lead to problems for MacBook users. More information about the laptop project can be found here and further details about the laptop requirements for AE can be found here. If a hardware failure occurs you can bring the laptop to the Student IT Desk (Cornelis Drebbelweg 5, building 35) on campus, where it will be repaired.
