Introduction programmes for Master’s, Exchange and bridging students
February 2025
5, 6 and 7 February
The Introduction Programme is designed to help give you a good start to your studies in Delft. The Introduction Programme introduces you to the university, to life in Delft, and to the multicultural student life that awaits you. It is also a good opportunity to get to know your fellow students and make new friends. We will introduce you to the TU Delft study culture and give you a tour on TU Delft Campus.
In addition to the IP, we would like to invite you to find out more about the student and study associations active at TU Delft and sign up for the Goin app, which will keep you up to date with all the activities around campus.
TU Delft recommends you to participate in the Introduction Programme. However, if circumstances prevent you from being on campus during the 3 days of the on Campus Introduction Programme, we encourage you to utilise the online elements which have been created to help you with the transition to TU Delft. Scroll down for more information about the online elements such as Q&A sessions and a Brightspace course.
We are currently working to create the Introduction Programme for spring 2025. More information about the schedule will follow as soon as possible.
Introduction Programme Brightspace course
Brightspace is TU Delft's collaborative learning environment and is used in almost all courses. The Introduction Programme Brightspace Course not only helps you to get familiar with this system, but also helps you get acquainted with the academic skills and study culture at TU Delft. It also contains information on the grading system, student charter, code of conduct, laptop project and on resources students can use while enrolled at TU Delft; e.g. Student IT Desks, the Library, study spaces, student well-being, academic counsellors, psychologists, workshops and much more. You can also find information on Living in Delft, the rich student life and TU Delft campus in the Brightspace course.
Access to Brightspace will be activated one month before the start of your studies. You will be automatically enrolled in to our IP Spring 2025 Brightspace course.
Q&A Sessions
Before beginning your studies in Spring 2025, you can listen to two Q&A sessions that were recorded for the Introduction Programme in Summer 2024. In these sessions, two student assistants from TU Delft discuss moving to the Netherlands and what to expect during your studies at the university. Even if you don't have specific questions, listening to these sessions will certainly enhance your understanding of studying and living in Delft, the Netherlands.
The two topics, available on YouTube, cover:
How can I participate?

Faculty Introductions
Faculty introductions will be organised per faculty and most of them will take place in the first week of February. Most of the faculty introductions are mandatory.
The faculty will notify you about the date and details of the Faculty Programme introduction. This introduction is designed to help you become familiar with your faculty and gain a clear understanding of what to expect from your study programme.
The Introduction Programme (IP) will be organised to welcome you to the university, offering a glimse into life in Delft and the vibrant multicultural student community you'll be part of. It's a great change to meet your fellow students and make new friends. You'll also be introduced to the study culture at TU Delft and given a tour of the TU Delft Campus. As part of the IP, you will be assigned to a group of incoming TU Delft students and a coach, a current student who will share their firsthand experience of Delft Student Life and who will help you with all your queries.
