Some steps you have to do after deciding to choose TU Delft as your university
Funding: The primary way of funding your masters here at TU Delft is self-funding. The deadline for requesting a scholarship of TU Delft was December 2023, so this is not an option anymore.
Housing: Make sure to opt in for the housing portal, if you want to look for housing through the university.
Visa: The visa would be taken care of via Osiris in the further steps. More information about this can be found here.
Stay tuned for the second edition for all the information. |
