Exchange programme

Study programme and enrolment

Especially for students who want to broaden their horizon, the faculty offers an intensive Exchange programme. A good way to get acquainted with new technical knowledge and creative ideas from abroad. At the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment of the TU Delft incoming exchange students can choose from a wide variety of fixed course packages.

• For Bachelor level students English taught Minor Programmes.
• For Master level students complete ‘MSc 1’ fixed course packages.

• For Master Level students a 15 EC MSc2 design course + a course package of 3 elective courses (5 EC each).

• Before the start of the exchange period, the final fixed course package will be confirmed. After the fixed course package is confirmed, it is no longer possible to change or add courses.

Exchange students

• are students participating in the Erasmus+ programme, or students from a university that has a bilateral agreement with our Faculty. You can check with the International/ Mobility Office of your home university if we are a partner.
• are 'non-degree' students, which means that they do not receive an academic degree or a diploma. The study period at TU Delft is part of the study at their home university; credits gained at TU Delft are transferable;
• can be registered at TU Delft for an uninterrupted maximum period of 12 months. However, the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment prefers a stay of only one semester. During their studies in Delft, they remain registered at their home university as well;
• do not have to pay tuition fees at TU Delft.
