At the end of my bachelor’s in Applied Physics, I followed a couple of general courses in IT. These courses taught me the basics of developing hardware and software, and I caught a glimpse of the amazing things that can be achieved when one cleverly harmonizes these two fields. Needless to say, the choice of doing my master’s in Computer Engineering (CE) was swiftly made. Doing this at the TU Delft was a no-brainer, given the long-lived honorable reputation of the university and its staff.

In retrospect, the master’s CE at TU Delft has equipped me with a mind- and skill-set that enables me to explore and tackle challenges that lie at the cutting-edge of computing technologies. Having worked on academic projects in teams of international students I have experienced, at first hand, that there is indeed more than one way to solve a problem. Furthermore, the professors and their corresponding research groups at the EEMCS faculty are truly top-notch, and this is clearly visible in their courses. As an optional part of the master’s programme, I did an internship last year at CERN in Switzerland, and I am currently working there on an awesome high-performance simulation platform as my graduation project. Last, but not least, recruiters and companies are literally lining up for CE graduates, so if you are considering this program, be prepared…
