Hi there! Welcome to the first (of three) newsletters for all new Master students in CoSEM
You have registered for the master's program Complex Systems Engineering & Management (CoSEM)! You may still have doubts about whether you are going to follow this program or what studying at TU Delft actually entails. To help you make this choice, three international students have gathered all the information they need to help you!

Meet the team
We are a team of three current international CoSEM students, Marilyn, Doruk and Hilman, who also had doubts before deciding to come here, so we decided to join and write this issue from our own experiences to orient newcomers. This issue covers the uniqueness of the programme, reputation of TU Delft, teaching style, campus facilities and activities, budget, lifestyle in Delft, transportation and connectivity of the city, and things you should consider after deciding to come.
In this newsletter

Welcome by Director of Studies MSc CoSEM, Ivo Bouwmans
 
Each year I look forward to meeting our new students from all over the world. We start the CoSEM programme with the Boot Camp week, in which our freshies design a system, working together in groups. This year it was a bicycle parking system for our own campus. You can imagine that due to COVID restrictions we were quite limited in what we were allowed to do on campus. But every day we could invite another part of the group to the campus to work together face to face. We ended each day with a dinner, and several activities to get to know each other better. In spite of the limitations, students and staff had an entertaining week, almost as good as in pre-corona times. I hope you too will be admitted to the CoSEM programme, so I can welcome you to the faculty during our next edition of Boot Camp!

CoSEM Director of Studies

Alumni Mustika about the masterprogramme CoSEM
 
"I feel that I discover myself here. The vast choices of study in CoSEM had allowed me to understand myself better (what I want and what I’m good at). This understanding gives me confidence to move forward with my career."
