On 30 May at 4 PM Vice President Education Rob Mudde and Director Education & Student Affairs Sacha Kroonenberg will officially open the new sustainable interfaculty education building Echo to invited guests. Beforehand, between 2PM and 4PM, you can take a guided tour, attend various demonstrations or take a walk around on your own along boards with lots of interesting facts about the building. Echo is open for education from 30 May and can be used by teachers and students.

A growing number of students in combination with the need for larger but also more flexible teaching spaces has led to the development of a second extra educational building: Echo. There will be a total of seven classrooms, which can largely be divided up flexibly. For example, three separate rooms can be made from the largest lecture hall of 700 places. Group work and self-study are possible in the more than 300 study places.

Sustainable building

Echo contributes to TU Delft’s sustainability ambition to operate fully sustainably by 2030. It will be an energy-reliant building, including user-related energy such as power consumption for laptops, lighting and catering. Among other things, solar panels, good insulation and a heat/cold storage system have been used in the new building. Watch the video with all sustainability aspects here.
A sustainable education building also requires sustainable furnishings. 90% of the furniture used has been reused.

Additional facilities

In addition to extra educational facilities, the building must also become an attractive place to meet. Longer opening hours and good catering facilities with various seating areas will contribute to this. The need for sufficient bicycle parking spaces has also been taken into account. There is a sunken bicycle basement under Echo with more than 600 spaces.

If you choose to pay in instalments, you will pay 1/9th of the tuition fees each month from September to May. This means that the collection amount will be higher each month (September to May). In the months of June, July and August there will be no more direct debits.

More information about the payment of tuition fees can be found on the website.

Wijziging incassotermijnen collegegeld van 12 naar 9 maanden

Met ingang van studiejaar 2022/2023 past TU Delft de incassotermijnen voor betaling van het collegegeld aan van 12 maanden naar 9 maanden. Kies je voor incassobetaling in termijnen, dan betaal je in de maanden september t/m mei maandelijks 1/9e deel van het collegegeld. Dit betekent dat het incassobedrag per maand (september t/m mei) hoger wordt. In de maanden juni, juli en augustus zullen er geen incasso’s meer plaatsvinden.

Meer informatie over betaling van het collegegeld vind je op de website.

An ICT maintenance weekend is scheduled on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 May.

We ask for understanding for any inconvenience.

If you’d like us to keep you informed about all maintenance work and possible disruptions, click here.

On Wednesday 4 May a brief Remembrance Day ceremony will take place to commemorate the staff and students of the Delft Institute of Technology who lost their lives in the Second World War.

A wreath will be laid at the commemorative plaque in the foyer of the Aula building by The Executive Board, Study Association Council (StudieVerenigingenRaad), Mijnbouwkundige Vereeniging (MV) and VereningsRaad (VeRa).

All those who wish to do so can place flowers or wreaths at the commemorative plaque on 4 May from 16:00 to 17:00, or at a time convenient to them later in the week, after 5 May.

Herdenkingsbijeenkomst 4 mei 2022

Op woensdag 4 mei wordt in de Aula een korte herdenkingsbijeenkomst gehouden ter nagedachtenis van alle TH-medewerkers en studenten, die tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog het leven lieten.

Het College van Bestuur, StudieVerenigingenRaad (SVR), Mijnbouwkundige Vereeniging (MW) en de VerenigingsRaad (VeRa) zullen op woensdag 4 mei om 16.00 uur een krans bij de gedenkplaat in de hal van de Aula leggen.

Voor een ieder, die daar prijs op stelt, wordt gelegenheid geboden om op deze dag in de hal van de Aula van 16.00 tot 17.00 uur of anders direct na 5 mei zelf bloemen of kransen bij de gedenkplaat te leggen.

Have you completed the final part of your study? Please be aware that you need to send a request to terminate your enrolment through Studielink as it will not be done automatically. Tuition fees need to be paid up to and including the last month of your enrolment. If you submit your request after 31 May you still have to pay tuition fee over July and August. Enrolment termination with retroactive effect is not possible.

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?
