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 Data-Driven Energy Systems 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):
