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.

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.

Best Aerosoace course in Europe
Tips: Great university, and excellent faculty. You meet and work with a lot of people from different backgrounds and there are plenty of opportunities to apply your knowledge to real-world problems, giving you a wholesome education. And once you graduate the TU Delft reputation will help you find a job rather easily.

Learning the Dutch language will enhance your experience.
Tips: You should be prepared for the rigour of a quarter-based system, and that of a research-oriented Master. The opportunities while pursuing a degree are extremely multi-faceted and rewarding if you are passionate and dedicated. The Dutch people in the city are very welcoming and even though you can perfectly accommodate them without ever learning any Dutch but it would be recommended to learn it in order to better integrate with the Dutch culture.
Likes (Public transportation): Everything in Delft is extremely well connected and you can use public transport for end-to-end connectivity. You generally rent or buy a (second-hand) bike to traverse around the small 6km cover of Delft, however, it is possible to walk and cover the entire city's diameter (or reach the campus from any place in Delft) within 30 minutes. Even if you live outside Delft due to the paucity of houses within, you can easily traverse via the train system (as many students do).
Dislikes (Indian Food): A lot of Indian restaurants and Indian grocery stores are available such that you always have options. Even though the food options for eating out or delivery are on the steeper side (due to food in Netherlands in general being expensive), there are options to buy groceries (even good quality Indian groceries) to cook at home for cheap.

A transformative and enriching academic journey.
Tips: I noticed a cultural difference, but the scholarship was paid well. The courses were also good. The country’s environment was vibrant, and the staff was friendly. The people were also friendly, and scholarships were paid promptly. Overall, it was a good experience.
Likes (Indian Food): One thing I enjoyed the most was how the teachers are very friendly with pupils, always willing to help them in difficult times. Apart from the curriculum, they also give focus on extracurricular activities, which are very beneficial for the students’ growth.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Faculty are well qualified, understanding, and know how to manage the classroom environment. They use various pedagogies in the curriculum to help the students learn the best learning. As for nationality, they do not judge based on one religion or culture; they are very diverse.

The Dutch education system is more research-oriented and self-driven, with no external pressure.
Tips: The Dutch education system will be quite new for Indian students, as it is more research-oriented and highly self-driven, with no external pressure to push you forward. A few scholarships are listed on the university website, and you may receive a residential allowance from the government depending on your accommodation. TU Delft is highly recommended for its quality of education and strong post-graduation prospects and I am highly satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Everything and everyone is easily accessible you just need the interest to immerse yourself in your chosen topic. The faculty is highly supportive and provides all the necessary guidance. The course follows a quarterly system, which may feel fast paced for the Indian students at first, but you will adapt within a semester. The university is highly international, with faculty members from diverse backgrounds.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships are not supported by the course as they require attendance on campus every working week. However you can work as a working student up to 16 hours per week which is often encouraged by the university. All companies are quite accessible as a student of TUD with a focus on relevant master studies.
