Technische Universiteit Delft

Student Facility Center:
Faculty academic counselors are available to all students of TU Delft.

Examples of issues that academic counselors deal with are: information about the educational program and the regulations applying to these programs; assistance with academic planning, for instance in cases like a delay in studies, personal problems affecting the studies; choosing an academic program (subjects); exemption from exams and exam disciplines; assistance with applications for financial support; the transfer from a polytechnic to university; advice on transfers between degree courses. TU Delft has a central International Office for any questions or problems that an international student may have. They advise students on a wide range of issues such as accommodation, enrolment, insurances, residence permits and legal matters. In case of personal problems students can make an appointment with one of the student psychologists. For disabled students the Department of Education & Student Affairs is the place to contact a counselor. Students may reach them during office hours (9h to 17h), by telephone (+3115 278 8012), e-mail (msc2@tudelft.nl) or internet (www.tudelft.nl). In case the Education & Student Affairs office or the faculty academic counselor is unable to help a student with regard to problems with TU Delft, an ‘ombudsman’ is available; he can be reached by telephone (+31152784403), e-mail (ombudsman@tudelft.nl) or internet: (www.tudelft.nl/ombudsman/). The office is located at Aula TU Delft, Mekelweg 5, 2628 CC Delft.

Hosting services: Students may find rooms at about 325€/month. As Delft is relatively small, they may walk to the University.
