As an international student, you have taken on the challenge of leaving your home and country to study in our faculty. Although everything may seem strange at first, you will soon find your way around and meet new people. You will find that the Dutch language is not an obstacle, as English is the working language. You will also find that the student community in Delft is internationally oriented, comprising many different nationalities. In addition, there are people to help you with housing, health insurance, computer access and course readers. Whether you have come to Delft as an exchange student or to pursue a Master’s degree - whether you will be studying here for three months or for two years - your time here will offer you the opportunity to experience the Dutch way of life. Most importantly, you will be able to experience the Dutch academic way of life. Who are we? The curriculum of the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management (TPM) is unique in the Netherlands, offering Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Complex Systems Engineering and Management (CoSEM), as well as Master’s degree programmes in Management of Technology (MOT), Transport, Infrastructure & Logistics (TIL), Industrial Ecology (IE) and Engineering & Policy Analysis (EPA). EPA is located in The Hague. The mission of TPM is to combine principles of technology and management to provide fresh perspectives on complex issues such as energy, sustainability, security and mobility. All of our educational and research programmes reflect a multi-disciplinary and multi-national approach. The faculty aims to provide sustainable solutions to a wide range of problems that entail technological, political, and societal aspects. The courses you take will reflect our perspective on these issues and will train you to become a multi-disciplinary engineer. I hope that you will find the challenge rewarding, and I wish you an unforgettable stay and study experience in Delft. Prof.dr.ir. J.W.F. Wamelink Dean, Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management 3 Contents Disclaimer ..................................................................................................................................... 2 What can you use this guide for?
