For teachers

When you take a group of students abroad (field trip, excursion, etc.; even for a one day trip!), please do not forget to make sure that your students check this website to ensure that students

• are insured properly and travel safely
• get informed about Green Travel

In case a vaccination is required or advised, International Office BK signs vaccination forms for students to get discount. To sign the form for the students, the accompanying teacher must send a list to internationaloffice-bk@tudelft.nl with all names and study numbers of the students joining.

The Erasmus+ for staff aims to stimulate international collaboration and to support the professional development of teaching and non-teaching staff within (certain countries of) Europe.

More detailed information on the requirements, the application procedure and allowances can be found on TU Delft intranet (for outgoing staff) under “Staff Mobility”. To know how to proceed it’s important to define what kind of mobility you are dealing with:

1. Teaching assignments at a Higher Education Institution (HEI) with an Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE)
   • This institution must have an Inter-Institutional Agreement with the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment of the TU Delft.
   • At least eight hours of teaching required.
   • Signing a bilateral agreement means that exchange is possible in two directions: sending and receiving.
2.   Staff training: training events at relevant (public or private) organisations, like:  
   •  courses
   •  job-shadowing
   •  observation periods

            NB. conferences or workshops are not considered as training!
 

  General requirements teaching assignment / training:

1. Mobility should be within EU/EFTA.
2. Employee has a TU Delft contract.
3. Period is minimal 2 days with a maximum of 14 days, including travel time.
4. You do not receive another allowance for this teaching assignment/ training.
5. A written approval of the Departemental Director (= afdelingsvoorzitter).
6. For a Teaching assignment an Erasmus+ bilateral staff agreement signed by our Dean and the partner is required. For a prefilled contract or to find out whether there is already an existing contract, please email InternationalOffice-bk@tudelft.nl.
7. For a Teaching assignment please start your application at least 6-8 weeks before the exchange period! For a staff training please inform erasmusgrant@tudelft.nl at least 2 weeks before departure.
8. Check the faculty requirements for business trips.

International Office BK aims to develop a policy for Internationalisation based on the year plan/ goal of the faculty. This needs to be done together with the Dean, the departments, teaching staff, students and team education & support.

International Office BK can support staff with:

1. Setting up a Memoramdum of Understanding (MoU),
2. Giving information whether there is a current (staff and/or student) Erasmus+  Exchange Agreement.

You can help us by sharing information about good partners with equivalent teaching level and additional value to our education or for our students.

The International Office stimulates and facilitates mobility of incoming and outgoing students. We have bilateral agreements with partners all over the world. Our students can go to these partners for one semester and we receive their students (in general) for one semester.

Incoming students get offered fixed course packages and

• the enrolment (for their first semester) is arranged by International office BK,
• it is not possible to write a thesis, or to do a graduation project at our faculty,
• it is not possible to come to our faculty for traineeship, internship, or a short research project, even not if the (graduated) student receives an Erasmus+ scholarship.

In case of problems or questions:

• From (potential) exchange students: please forward or refer these to us: InternationalOffice-bk@tudelft.nl.
• PhD candidates can be referred to following website.
• Internships are not facilitated by International Office BK; students can contact the internship coordinators.

For the full (post)master International Office BK facilitates the admission and selection process for students with a Non-Dutch BSc degree. This is done together with the ESA central and the admission committees of our Faculty.
Please contact us in case you want to join the admission committee or one of these students contacts you directly.

International Office BK arranges:

• a soft landing by means of a MSc kick off programme and a MSc mentor programme,
• the enrolment for the courses of the 1st semester.
