Enrolment procedure for students

TU Delft students with a valid Campus card can follow this course as an elective course (wm1115 = 3 ects). First, they have to follow the introduction programme. Registration for this introduction programme must be done through Brightspace. The module can be found by searching for “Preliminary” or “Dutch” and selecting “Preliminary program for Dutch Elementary 1” (tpm-preenroll-dutch). In the announcement of the preliminary course you can find the information about the preliminary program, consisting of an entrance test as well. For the entrance test chapters 1 and 2 of the course book need to be studied (free course materials are available, see announcement Brightspace) Students who pass the entrance test, can enrol for the actual course wm1115TU via Brightspace.

We advise students who just arrived in the Netherlands to settle first, find out how much time they need for their studies etc. before they enroll for a Dutch course.
