How to choose your profile cluster
Because the profile clusters cover a very broad range of topics, many students do not possess the background knowledge for all profiles in a cluster. The table below shows which background fits best with the clusters:
Autonomous Systems | Wind & Economics | Solar Systems | Solar & Economics | Waste-CHP & Solar Systems | Waste-CHP & Economics | Electric Mobility Systems | Electric Mobility & Economics | |
Mechanical/Mechatronics/ Materials Engineering | √ | |||||||
Electrical Engineering/Electronics | √ | √ | √ | √ | ||||
Chemical Engineering/Chemistry | √ | √ | ||||||
Aerospace Engineering | √ | |||||||
(Applied) Physics/Astronomy | √ | |||||||
Applied Earth Sciences/ Mining/Petroleum Engineering | √ |
Prepare for other profile clusters
If you would like to choose a profile cluster for which you might NOT have all required knowledge based on your bachelor programme, it is strongly recommended to prepare yourself before the start of the academic year in Delft.
The table below provides an overview of the topics which you are recommended to prepare for each cluster (per different bachelor’s degree background):
Autonomous Systems | Wind & Economics | Solar Systems | Solar & Economics | Waste-CHP & Solar Systems | Waste-CHP & Economics | Electric Mobility Systems | Electric Mobility & Economics | |
Mechanical/Mechatronics/ Materials Engineering | √ | Electrical Engineering | Electrical Engineering | Electrical Engineering | Chemistry | Chemistry | Electrical Engineering | Electrical Engineering |
Electrical Engineering/Electronics | Mechanics & Dynamics | Mechanics & Dynamics | √ | √ | Chemistry | Chemistry | √ | √ |
Chemical Engineering/Chemistry | Mechanics & Dynamics | Mechanics & Dynamics | Electrical Engineering | Electrical Engineering | √ | √ | Electrical Engineering | Electrical Engineering |
Aerospace Engineering | √ | Electrical Engineering | Electrical Engineering | Electrical Engineering | Chemistry | Chemistry | Electrical Engineering | Electrical Engineering |
(Applied) Physics/Astronomy | √ | Electrical Engineering | Electrical Engineering | Electrical Engineering | Chemistry | Chemistry | Electrical Engineering | Electrical Engineering |
Applied Earth Sciences/ Mining/Petroleum Engineering | √ | Electrical Engineering | Electrical Engineering | Electrical Engineering | Chemistry | Chemistry | Electrical Engineering | Electrical Engineering |
General chemistry and electrical engineering
TU Delft offers special online linkage courses for the topics general chemistry and electrical engineering. These linkage courses are designed to give you sufficient background for a specific cluster.
The admission links are:
Following a linkage course can cost you up to 120 hours of study time, so do not make the decision to follow one lightly. For the linkage courses, a diagnostic test has been developed which you can use to check your background knowledge in this field. Be sure to do the diagnostic test first in order to check if you have (part of) the required knowledge already.
If you want to take one of the linkage courses, please send an email to programmecoordinator-eemcs@tudelft.nl, providing the course you want to take and the email address you want us to use to create your account.
Mechanics and dynamics
For mechanics and dynamics, there is no online linkage course available, as the study load exceeds 250 hours. We therefore advise you to choose the clusters requiring mechanics and dynamics only if you have had a sizeable amount of these topics in your prior education.
For some courses in the Waste & Combined Heat and Power profile, a background in transport phenomena is beneficial. A course is offered on edX:
Course on transport phenomena (offered at certain moments in a year)
