| Hi there! Welcome to the second (of three) newsletters for all new Master students in MOT |
You have registered for the master's program Management of Technology (MOT)! 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 MOT students, Ziba, Jabez and Petra, that had some doubts before deciding to study here, so we decided to join and write this issue from our own experiences to orient newcomers. This issue covers information regarding the counselors at the faculty, information about finding a room in the Netherlands, about an entrepreneurship center at TU Delft, and interviews with the teaching faculty and alumni. It also has a list of places where you can visit during spring in the Netherlands, places to "chill" in Delft, and information regarding one of the Dutch culture, King's Day. |

| Academic Counselors at TPM |
We – Hanneke Thieme and Marieke Kuyvenhoven Lemckert – are looking forward to meeting you all at the start of the Academic year. We will be your Academic Counselors for the whole duration of your time with us in Delft.
But what does an Academic Counselor do?
You can reach out to us by - mail – appointment - during consultation hours - to discuss things impacting your study.
But what kind of things?
Think of studying with a disability, need of making a new study planning, study skills, when you have unfortunately to deal with personal circumstances reducing your ability to study. It can also be about the choices to be made within your program as electives or thesis. We are here for you offering a listening ear in a safe environment free of judgments. We can also help you get access or redirect you to some of the many facilities at the Delft like the student psychologists, student doctors. Do you know of writing coaches or the opportunity to work on your personal development by taking a workshop on essential study skills? We are very much looking forward to meeting you at the faculty!
