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.

The thermostat is being lowered on the campus: the temperature in our buildings is being lowered to 19 degrees. With this lower temperature we are keeping high energy costs down and working towards our sustainability goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2030. This is a trial until 1 September that will be evaluated afterwards. For questions about this, please contact the service desks.

To celebrate that the TU campus has fully re-opened and that spring has sprung, we invite you to a “Welcome back to campus” fair in front of the Aula between 11:00 and 14:00. Join us to enjoy good food, visit the market to see all the things TU Delft has to offer outside of your studies, get to know new people while having a seat in the sun and jump in front of the dance powered photo booth.

One of the most important issues of our time is the transition from fossil energy to sustainable energy. But how can we encourage residents to make their homes gas-free? The ‘City Deal Knowledge Making’ – a partnership between the Municipality of Delft, The Hague University of Applied Sciences, Inholland University of Applied Sciences and TU Delft – organises a challenge for students to work on this issue.

Register now! Besides the fact that you can win a gift voucher, it will also be an educational weekend where you can gain new knowledge and skills. You will be divided into groups with students from various study programmes from different knowledge institutions to tackle the issue in a multidisciplinary way. Knowledge of and passion for sustainability issues is helpful, but not absolutely necessary.

More information about the challenge and registration can be found on the website.

Doe mee aan de challenge om alle Delftse woningen aardgasvrij te maken.

Een van de belangrijkste vraagstukken van onze tijd is de overgang van fossiele energie naar het spaarzaam omgaan met duurzame energie. De vraag is echter hoe we bewoners kunnen stimuleren om hun eigen woning aardgasvrij te gaan maken. De City Deal Kennis Maken Delft – een samenwerking tussen de gemeente Delft, De Haagse Hogeschool, hogeschool Inholland en de TU Delft – organiseert op 20 en 21 mei een inspirerende challenge voor studenten om samen met de gemeente met dit vraagstuk aan de slag te gaan.

Schrijf je nu in! Naast dat je een cadeaubon van € 100 kan winnen, wordt het ook vooral een leerzaam weekend waarbij je nieuwe kennis en vaardigheden kan op doen en in contact komt met andere vakdisciplines. Je wordt in groepen ingedeeld met studenten van diverse opleidingen van verschillende kennisinstellingen, om het vraagstuk multidisciplinair aan te vliegen. Kennis van en passie voor duurzaamheidsvraagstukken is handig, maar absoluut niet noodzakelijk.

Meer informatie over de challenge en de aanmeldingsprocedure is te vinden op de website.

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. Enrolment termination with retroactive effect is not possible.

Financial scams are prevalent in all around the globe. Unfortunately that is also the case in The Netherlands. Students, especially international students as temporary residents in a foreign country, are not immune to becoming victims of scams. An alarming article about TU Delft students cheated out of thousands of euros appeared yesterday in the Delta. Do you have questions about (financial) scamming? Are you a victim of house burglary? Or is your bike stolen? Drop by the community policeman in the TU Delft Aula. Every two weeks on Wednesday on 30 March, 13 and 27 April, 11 and 25 May, and 8 and 22 June from 11PM until noon you can visit a consultation hour in the Aula where a community policeman can give you free consultation about these topics.
