MSc Chemical Engineering - Batch of 2025

Good faculty and course.
Tips: Insurance is crucial. The weather, especially the rain in winter, can be quite challenging as cycling is often the main mode of transport. You can apply for scholarships on the official TUD website. Also, be prepared for a significant cultural adjustment, as making friends here can be a bit difficult.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty were very nice and helpful. The mix of faculty teaching, practical sessions, and Q&A made the courses engaging and easy to understand. Seniors also helped a lot as teaching assistants, and they held doubt sessions before exams.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The current job market is challenging. Regarding permanent settlement, learning Dutch and residing here for six years post-graduation are essential factors, and these considerations contribute to my three-star rating.

The course material and professors are top-notch, offering a high degree of flexibility.
Tips: The curriculum is intense, and grading methods are quite different from India. If you graduate before the end of May, you can save on tuition fees for that quarter. It is important to be efficient and manage your time wisely so you can finish working in 8 hours, allowing you to also engage in other activities. In winter, it is important to spend time with friends or travel so that you don't get the blues.
Likes (Value for money): The course material and professors are top-notch, offering a high degree of flexibility to choose from various profiles. This flexibility is unique, and in my research, I haven't found a better curriculum for renewable energy. Furthermore, the thesis helps develop niche expertise, preparing students for the market.
Dislikes (Indian Food): It's a relatively small town, hence options are limited. It is also not economical to eat out as a student. But there are decent options in nearby bigger cities. There are some Turkish/Surinamese places where you can find good food but the best option is to cook for yourself.

A good combination of international exposure and adulting challenges.
Tips: Knowing cycling helps a lot as the roads are mostly flat with dedicated cycle lanes and daily commute for classes, grocery shopping becomes really helpful, and one would save a lot on the public transportation charges. It takes time to adjust to the quarter system of exams, which keeps you busy throughout the year. Winters can get a bit harsh and the country also has an unpredictable pattern of rain, which is quite tough to handle, but proper clothing can help. With regards to the safety of women, it is completely safe on and off campus. There are some occasional incidents of cycle thefts depending on whether they are locked properly or kept in an isolated place, but otherwise the Dutch streets are generally well-lit, with public transportation running till quite late hours. Also, since Delft mostly has students and everyone owns a bike, it is pretty convenient and safe on the street. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Dislikes (Part time work): The first year is generally quite occupied with classes, quarterly exams, and assignments, which makes it tough to take up part-time jobs and balance with the curriculum. The second year focuses mainly on internships, which are generally paid and some teaching assistant jobs, which may help with covering living expenses partly, but with the university funding being cut in the Netherlands, the opportunities are decreasing a bit.

Efficient, productive and independence.
Tips: The education system in the Netherlands and the way people work in general will make you more efficient in life. This could be anything from planning something small to something impactful, and I think this is because of the independence that is given to students to study what they want with the general expectation that the work being produced will be meaningful and impactful and isn't being done just to pass a course. This culture of teaching is inculcated right from primary school in the Netherlands, and it is amazing to see how productive these students turn out to be. I believe that after studying at Delft, you will likely observe this behaviour and also find yourself to be productive, not waiting to be told what to do but taking initiative and realising what needs to be done. A practical aspect that also needs to be mentioned is that if you don't speak Dutch, then be aware that a lot of entry-level opportunities will not be for you. If you are an experienced IT professional, then the job market is better for you, but for beginners, my suggestion would be to practice competitive coding since most companies use that to filter candidates.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation in Delft is fairly good. Most students and people prefer using bikes but you can also take the bus, which is available frequently. There is currently a tram line under construction within the campus, so connectivity should improve even more once it’s complete in a year or so.
Dislikes (Student Life): Most days in university will be spent on assignments and reading papers and less on other activities. Do keep in mind that Delft is a STEM university, so naturally, the culture of students is more geared towards research and less on social activities, but that doesn't mean there are none. There are various student organisations and social outreach program organisations. Since the education system follows a quarter system instead of a semester, it means the study and workload can be quite high. A quarter generally lasts 8-10 weeks, and the study load that is expected to be taken is 15EC (3 courses of 5EC each). If you are familiar with the course, then you will have an easier time otherwise, it could be a real challenge. The grading system is not lenient and quite stringent; getting a 9 is considered extremely rare.

MSc Aerospace Engineering - Batch of 2024

Work on time-management. Education is excellent.
Tips: Acquire fundamentals culinary skills by mastering one or two dishes. Invest in a pressure cooker, particularly if you're from India, as it significantly expedites cooking. Familiarize yourself with local culture, tax regulations and essential protocols. Upon arrival in the Netherlands, consider obtaining a second-hand bike through the Facebook Marketplace. Explore informative YouTube video featuring the experiences of Indian students in Delft. Swiftly pay your tuition feels to secure an early slots for housing, especially if you've opted for Delfts accommodation. Establish connections on LinkedIn, as the majority of students here are exceptionally friendly. I've found that the education quality surpasses that of India; however, it poses a slightly greater challenge. Consistency is key, and time management skills are imperative. I am thoroughly content with my course; the professors are not only approachable but also friendly. Assignments demand substantial hours, so forming small groups for collaborative discussions is advisable. Be cautious not to submit identical work, as plagiarism is deemed a serious offence.
Likes (Value for money): The Dutch education system at TUD differs somewhat from the Indian education system at VIT. The Indian system places a primary emphasis on applied engineering, involving numerical and standard equations, whereas the aerospace programme at TUD places a greater focus on fundamental principles. I recommend thoroughly reviewing the subjects offered and the syllabus to gain a comprehensive understanding. If you are seeking a more in-depth mathematically and physically oriented education, Delft's curriculum is well-suited to those preferences.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The Netherlands boasts an extensive and efficient public transportation network, encompassing trams, trains and buses. While living costs may be relatively higher for students arriving from India, the convenience of frequent train and tram services is noteworthy. To navigate the transportation system effectively, I recommend downloading apps like 9292 and NS to stay informed about train timings and schedules. This is particularly crucial as maintenance work is periodically conducted, necessitating a bit of advance planning.

Great people, professors, teaching and student life, with some bouts of poor weather.
Tips: There are many students of Indian origin at TU Delft, so there is a lot of Indian culture. It is a great place to be. Everyone is very friendly and they make you feel at home with mentors and different guides and information meetings. If you apply early, you can try for scholarships that are department-specific, but later there are only a few scholarships available, so do not count on getting one. There are only a few on-campus jobs available for a large group of students. For those who do get it, the pay is good. Off-campus, there are career days that they organize to help you match with different companies. Part-time is definitely manageable with the academics. Part-time work pays about 15-20 per hour. Overall, I am satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Student Life): The best part about studying here is the student life. There are tons of events and sports facilities, lots of clubs, bars, and restaurants, and activities that are one-time only. There's probably a cultural event for anything you can think of. This place is a real melting pot, which means there's a club, bar, or restaurant for everything you're into. Not only that, but you'll find people from all over the world here, so you can easily meet new friends. There are always plenty of events, and everyone has a good time at them. Plus, when you first start your studies here, you'll be randomly paired with a group of other students from various countries. These people can easily become your closest friends during the semester.

The University of Amsterdam acceptance rate stands at around 4%, making the admission criteria extremely selective. On the other hand, TU Delft acceptance rate stands at around 82% as per various unofficial sources. Thus, it can be concluded that UvA is indeed much more selective.
