Aerospace Engineering Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)

Overview

About this Degree

This Aerospace Engineering degree programme at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is unique within Europe and has an excellent reputation worldwide. We have high-tech facilities, such as an advanced flight simulator, our own aircraft which is used as a flying classroom, a clean room for the development of our own satellites, subsonic, supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnels and a large laboratory for the development, manufacture and testing of materials and structures.

In addition to the technical foundation, you will learn how to guide processes in order to develop new products. You will also become acquainted with projects made possible through this combination of knowledge, such as the Delfly  dragonfly drone with flapping wings and the NUNA solar car.

As you progress through the programme, the emphasis shifts from theory to application. The academic year is divided into four ten-week periods. This means that you will have examinations four times each year. Lectures are alternated with tutorials, laboratory courses and projects, in which you apply the knowledge acquired. The emphasis during project-based education is on learning to design in teams.
