Delft University of Technology

Top education and research are at the heart of the oldest and largest technical university in the Netherlands. Our 8 faculties offer 16 bachelor’s and more than 30 master’s programmes. Education programmes range from almost 3000 students in our largest bachelor to only less than 50 for the smaller masters. About 25% of our diplomas are awarded to international students. Our more than 25,000 students and 7,500 employees (including 3000 PhD’s half on scholarships, half paid) share a fascination for science, design and technology.  We use this fascination, along with our expertise and talents to contribute to the challenges facing our world. Think of climate change and the energy transition, but also better and more affordable healthcare, clean water and sanitation. We do this with our research, the development of technological solutions and the education of the engineers of the future. And by being the front runner in sharing science and providing online education. ‘Impact for a better society’ isn’t our motto for no reason.

The TU Delft attaches great value to openness. We are the front runner in the field of open education and science. TU Delft stimulates multidisciplinary team work between colleagues of different scientific disciplines and different university services. The TU Delft also intensively collaborates with other universities (e.g. Erasmus University Rotterdam and the University of Leiden) in the field of education and science. We work in diverse collaboration in the Netherlands, Europe and globally. Our scientists also collaborate widely with businesses and societal organisations.

The Department of Maritime and Transport Technology of the TU Delft has been involved in a long list of EU and National funded projects on the sustainability of shipping. Some recent and active projects are MAGPIE, READINESS, NOVIMOVE, NOVIMAR, NAVAIS, ISHY, SH2IPDRIVE, MENENS, AmmoniaDrive, AVATAR, Green Ship Recycling and TODDIS. Several of these projects also contain the development of learning activities (e.g. TODDIS is linked to the set-up of Minor on the same subject, NAVAIS and MAGPIE lead to specific module development). Furthermore TU Delft and especially the department is member of Resilient Delta, 4TU, LDE, TRANSPORTNet and WEGEMT, which are all cooperations with national and international partner universities with a focus on education.
