Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)

• Quick facts: TU Delft (Technische Universiteit Delft) is the Netherlands’ oldest and largest technical university (founded 1842), with ~27,000 students and a large international staff—a leading global engineering school. • Campus vibe & highlights: The compact urban campus centres on Mekelpark, the striking TU Delft Library with its grassy roof and cone, and the Aula Conference Centre—all popular photo and walkabout spots. • What to see & do: Walk the campus to enjoy modern architecture, student life and public spaces; visit the Science Centre Delft (interactive exhibits & workshops) — note that some museum spaces now require pre-booked tickets. • Faculties & research: Eight faculties cover almost 40 technical disciplines (Aerospace, Civil, EEMCS, Architecture, Mechanical, Applied Sciences, Industrial Design, TPM) with world-class engineering research and labs. • Access & transport: Campus is very bike-friendly and well-served by buses from Delft station; paid campus parking exists (visitor bays & P-lots). Use the interactive campus map and visitor centre for directions and accessibility info. • Visitor services & tours: TU Delft runs self-guided and guided campus tours (including a gamified “VisiTUs” tour) and a Guest Centre for delegations—good options if you want an organised visit. ⸻ What to keep in mind • No free run of labs & classrooms: Public walking on the campus is allowed, but research labs, classrooms and some buildings are restricted—attend official tours or events for behind-the-scenes access. • Science Centre & special exhibits ticketed: The Science Centre and certain Tech-Studio activities often need pre-purchased tickets or have limited opening times—check the centre’s visit page. • Bikes everywhere — stay alert: Expect heavy bicycle traffic and many bike racks—use cycle lanes and watch when crossing paths. • Events & building hours vary: The Aula and faculty buildings host conferences, ceremonies and classes—some areas can close for events; check opening hours before you go

Even if you don’t study it deserves a visit, one of the best campuses in the world, unfortunately it’s taking a few years for the tram construction works that disturb a bit the view and the overall feeling of the campus.

... This technical university is the oldest in the Netherlands, founded in 1842 by King Willem II. It currently specializes in engineering, technology, computing, design, and the natural sciences. It is located in Delft, the Netherlands, where much of the city offers support facilities for its approximately 26,000 students, including dormitories, apartments, and other facilities...

I went there as a visitor and I ended up mouth open with the wonders. Everything there was at its perfection. The buildings, the facilities, the library, the environment and its fabulous environment. Visited every section of the university and I was really delighted about this place. You can feel that there are so much science hanging there. The students studying intensely make you have a good feel about future. If you u go to Delft, visit this place, absolutely astonishing.

I spend 3 days at this University in a workshop on the urban management department. Actually, it is a dream. The University is very well equipped with laboratories, machines and other equipment. The staff is very nice and over qualified. You can feel science in every corner. Only problem was that coffee bars are to be used with cards only and this was a little problem. Three are a number of food trucks within the campus with vegan food.

It's quite good, all modern buildings with nice plantation. Good for a walk pr jog with your close ones. Weather now( August ) is perfect.

Nice view campus - 4 stars After experiencing TuDelft system going through HR team, legal service team, etc - 1 star or less Encountered a serious corruption issue as well in a hiring process Quite far from its high reputation
