MSc Mechanical Engineering
Whether it's a dentist's drill or a tunnel drill, an automobile assembly line or a CD player, somewhere in the course of its development, a mechanical engineer has had a hand in its design. Mechanical engineers design, develop and build an enormous range of technical systems and mechanisms for industry and consumers. They have an important hand as well in stimulating the development of bio-systems, and micro- and nano-scale devices. Innovations in these areas are of vital importance in efforts to reduce energy consumption, to ease pressures on the environment, and to build a more sustainable society.
At TU Delft, the goal of the MSc Programme in Mechanical Engineering is to give students a broad, in-depth understanding of all mechanical engineering disciplines. The programme trains engineers to handle the entire process of innovative thinking, design, manufacturing and operation.
The tracks of the Master’s programme Mechanical Engineering have a common part. This consists of 11 ‘core courses’ that are fundamental to Mechanical Engineering. They either build on pre-knowledge from the BSc programme or form a new basis at a MSc level, applicable in multiple tracks. You have to select at least five core courses. Depending on which track you choose, you have to select (a maximum of) three core courses in addition. Check out the webpage from the specific track for more detailed information about the curriculum.
