TU Delft has been pushing the boundaries of technical innovation for more than 180 years. Ever since its foundation in 1842, the university has continuously served the interest of Dutch society. TU Delft is today known around the world as a prominent university of technology that boasts an impressive technical-scientific and innovative capacity, as well as clear-sighted  societal relevance.

The reputation of TU Delft rests on the individual  and collective achievements of many generations  of researchers, designers, lecturers, and countless students who have become ‘Delft engineers’. 

TU Delft houses a diverse community from around the world, for whom we strive to be a welcoming place of learning. While our community harbours a wide range of expertise, experiences, and aspirations, a common denominator is a shared passion for science, engineering, and design.
