Frequently Asked Questions

The most important first step is to decide what you want to do. Do you wish to study at a partner university abroad? Or do you want to do an internship at a company abroad? The international office at IDE can give you information about studying as an exchange student. You can read many travel reports from other students The following steps can be read in the 'Procedures & Deadlines' section. For internships you can contact internship-io@tudelft.nl or visit the IDE internship office website.

You need to register by filling out our application form. After you have been selected, you will be nominated at the partner university. The partner university sends you information about 'how to apply'. The international office at IDE can tell you more about the procedures and different deadlines.

You can only go on exchange to a partner university. If there is no agreement between the two universities you can ask the international office of IDE if an agreement can be made. This may take a couple of months and we only make agreements with universities which are a good match with IDE and vice versa. So if you want to accomplish this, you should start early.

Information about internships can be read here: www.io.tudelft.nl/internship. When you go on exchange you need to obtain 30 ECTs in that semester. 

When you apply for an Erasmus scholarship (EU and Turkey), you need to make a learning agreement. In this learning agreement you will fill in the courses you wish to follow. It is possible that your list of courses changes when you start at the partner university. Most universities let you choose courses before you start, but keep in mind that it can change.

Most universities publish this information on their website and they will send you an email with this information once you are nominated. You can also use the links in the IDE Google list of partner universities.

Graduation projects are projects of individual teachers and professors. You can read more about this on Graduation.

This is possible, but you will have to arrange this yourself. Of course you can use the information we provide to look for the place you want to go to.
