Extra challenges and support

In addition to studying Aerospace Engineering there are numerous opportunities for extracurricular activities to develop yourself. From expanding and applying your technical knowledge, to practising sports on a professional level. If you need guidance while studying, student support is widely available as well.

New experiences

Internship

An internship is not a standard part of the BSc Aerospace Engineering curriculum. It is still possible to do a ‘voluntary’ internship during the bachelor. However, it is not possible make it a part of the BSc programme or to achieve credits for this. 

If you decide to do the MSc Aerospace Engineering, an internship forms a mandatory part of the MSc curriculum. The Internship Office can be contacted through internship-ae@tudelft.nl. An alternative for doing the internship is the Joint Interdisciplinary Project (JIP). JIP is an interdisciplinary project set up and takes place between faculties inside TU Delft. Alternatively you can take part in an entrepreneurship project. 

In search of industry contacts for internships? Feel free to reach out to the study association VSV ‘Leonardo da Vinci’. The VSV is also part of the Delft Career Platform, an online career platform for TU Delft students.
