INCOMING AND OUTGOING EXCHANGE PROGRAMMES CANCELLED FOR FIRST SEMESTER 2020-2021
The TU Delft Executive Board has made the informed decision to cancel all student exchange programmes in the first semester of the new academic year of 2020-2021. This decision applies to both incoming and outgoing exchange students.
We have made this difficult decision now because there is still a lot of uncertainty about the health situation, travel restrictions and the provision of physical and online education. This means we cannot guarantee that exchange students will have an intercultural experience on our campus or abroad in the first semester of 2020-2021.
We realize that this is a great disappointment for students, partly because all students and parties involved have put so much effort into this and are looking forward to the exchange period. However, the health and safety of all students is paramount and in these unpredictable times this felt like the best decision that could be made in your best interest.

Students who have been admitted for one semester and would like to extend their stay for the subsequent semester should arrange the approval of both the home institution and host exchange coordinator. The maximum duration of an exchange period at TU Delft is one academic year (12 months).
It is not permitted to come to TU Delft on exchange more than once.
Exchange students may only sit exams while their enrolment status is active at TU Delft.
It is obligatory that they remain registered as regular students at their home university.
