Are you considering to pre-register for a non-selection minor at Leiden, Delft and Rotterdam you can do so starting 2 May 2022?

There are a limited number of places available for non-selection minors. The non-selection minors have several rounds of registration/de-registration in May. There is also a late-registration period for non-selection minors. It is not possible to de-register from a selection minor during the registration periods of the non-selection minors.

During the first [Q1 and full semester minors] and the second round [Q2 and full semester minors] it does not make any difference when you submit your preferences. After closure of the round, lottery draw takes place for both the first and second round. The third round all non-selection minors will be open for direct registration.

Note that due to ICT maintenance in the weekend of 21-22 May, the opening of the third round will be postponed. The new opening time and date for the third round is; 23 May 2022 (13:00).

For more information, see the website www.minors.tudelft.nl and have a look at the registration procedure flyer.

On 9 June, the TU Delft campus will be all about students and their ideas for the future of the energy transition. This year, almost all students will pay extra attention in their education to the transition to a society where the energy supply is more sustainable. A large number of ideas and prototypes will be on display on 9 June during the Energy Challenge Event, which is part of TU Delft’s anniversary celebrations.   

There is plenty to do for students on the event terrain. Find out what other faculties are doing to speed up the energy transition, participate in challenges, network with alumni, attend lunch lectures, cycle your own smoothie and learn more about what you can do to contribute to this year’s lustrum mission. Bring your friends, fellow students or housemates and enjoy a ‘real’ event on campus again! There is also the opportunity to meet fellow students, teachers and alumni while enjoying a snack and a drink to spar about accelerating the energy transition. 

And more… 

The Energy Club, Greenteams, Energy for Refugees and study associations, among others, will also be showing their solutions for the energy transition. Also, the Dreamteams will also be present with their prototypes. Students from the TU Delft, InHolland and The Hague University of Applied Sciences will be demonstrating their developed ideas together for a problem posed by the municipality of Delft as part of the Energy Challenge and City Deal/WijStad collaboration. 

Join us

Are you also curious about the Energy Challenge event, or do you want to know more about what our TU Delft community is doing to accelerate the energy transition? Come to our Energy Challenge event on the 9th of June at the Bouwcampus terrain and enjoy a real TU Delft festival, where energy transition is central.

Do you have an idea about how students experience studying at TU Delft and what TU students need during and outside their studies? Then we are looking for you!

To find out more about the sentiment among students on various student matters, such as the prospective student, the study climate, welfare and student communication, TU Delft is setting up a special student panel. What are your thoughts on these and other student matters? We would like to know. Your input will be used to better tune activities and communication to your perception and needs and those of your fellow students.

How does it work? In practice:

– The first 250 students who sign up as a panel participant will receive a TU Delft hoody (of course when you actively participate).
– You participate in the panel for 1 academic year
– Filling in the questions will take no more than 5 minutes

Interested to participate? Sign up now via this link.
