The vision of our university is to contribute to solving global challenges by educating new generations of socially responsible engineers and expanding the frontiers of engineering sciences. Our contribution to these global challenges does not stop when a student graduates: TU Delft has a responsibility to continue to provide engineers with the (latest) knowledge and expertise to support them in their careers.
To provide adult learners with quality and accessible learning opportunities for professional and personal development throughout their lifetime within the context of Science, Engineering, and Design with the aim of building a better society together.

MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses)
TU Delft offers ‘Massive Open Online Courses’ (MOOCs) on the edX-platform. A MOOC is an online course aiming at large-scale interactive participation and open access via the web. In addition to traditional course materials such as videos, readings, and problem sets, MOOCs provide interactive user forums that help build a community for the students, professors, and teaching assistants. Participation is free, and a verified certificate can be added for a fee.
Sustainable Packaging in a Circular Economy
Currently, large amounts of packaging waste escape formal collection and recycling systems and eventually end up polluting the environment. Moreover, their material value is forever lost to the economy. So how can we improve packaging systems in order to capture this wasted potential?
In this course, you will learn about the design of sustainable packaging systems. To do so we will explore the design and business strategies of the circular economy.
Design in Healthcare: Using Patient Journey Mapping
This course will give designers and specialists in healthcare the knowledge, insights and tools to be able to analyze and improve patient experience.
You will learn how to map complex healthcare scenarios, pinpoint opportunities and create hands-on solutions aimed at improving the patient experience.
Circular Economy
Our global society is not sustainable. We all know about the challenges we're facing: waste, climate change, resource scarcity, loss of biodiversity. At the same time, we want to sustain our economies and offer opportunities for a growing world population. This course is about providing solutions we really believe in: a Circular Economy.
