MSc Programme in Marine Technology TU Delft’s MSc programme in Marine Technology (MT) – the only one of its type offered in the Netherlands – gives engineers the knowledge and skills they need to handle the entire process of design, construction, production and operation of these ships and marine systems. Students choose between the Design, Production and Operation track and the Science track and select an area of specialisation from topics such as ship hydromechanics, ship and offshore structures, marine systems design and ship production. Career prospects MT graduates find outstanding opportunities with firms active in the offshore oil industry, heavy cargo transport and salvage, engineering, shipbuilding, research, and safety and the environment. Numerous graduates have accepted positions with the Royal Dutch Navy, while others continue on at TU Delft with studies leading to a PhD. Admission requirements Graduates with a Bachelor’s degree in Marine Technology or Naval Architecture from a Dutch University of Applied Sciences (HBO) or the Royal Netherlands Naval College (KIM) are eligible for admission after completing a bridging course. Applicants holding a degree in Marine Technology; Civil, Mechanical, Aerospace, or Industrial Design Engineering; or Applied Physics from a Dutch university of technology automatically qualify for admission. Applicants from Imperial College London, ETH Zurich, RWTH Aachen and Paris Tech holding a BSc degree in Computer Science also qualify for admission. Other applicants must meet TU Delft’s general admission requirements and will be evaluated on an individual basis.

Peter Naaijen Science Programme Coordinator T +31 (0)15 27 81570 E P.Naaijen@tudelft.nl MSc Programme in Materials Science & Engineering Materials Science & Engineering is concerned with the design of innovative new materials for the continuously evolving needs of society, and with the manufacturing processes that convert basic materials into products. The MSc programme in Materials Science & Engineering combines studies of the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of materials with training in production techniques and the selection of appropriate materials for a wide range of applications. Covering subjects from atoms to applications and from design to disposal, the Material Science & Engineering programme is well-suited to meet the expectations of students with a more theoretical background and those with backgrounds in applied science or engineering. Career prospects Graduates of the programme have accepted positions at firms such as Corus, Stork, DAF, Bosch and Philips. They are working in materials production, development and research 36| Master Prospectus in the industrial sector, and especially in steel and aluminium, as materials experts in high level consultancy and management positions, and in such diverse fields as polymers, recycling, biotechnology, archaeology, and academic research. Admission requirements Applicants must have a basic understanding of mathematics. University graduates with a BSc in fields such as Materials Science Engineering, (Applied) Physics, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Marine Technology, or Aerospace Engineering are eligible for admission. Graduates with a Bachelor’s degree from a Dutch HBO are eligible for admission, but will be required to complete a bridging course comprised of mathematics and materials science modules. Applicants from non-Dutch universities will be evaluated on an individual basis. For more information www.mse.msc.tudelft.nl Dr. Michael Janssen Programme Coordinator T +31 (0)15 27 85866
MSc Programme in Mechanical Engineering Mechanical engineers design, develop and build an enormous range of technical systems and mechanisms for industry and consumers. At TU Delft, the fundamental goal of the MSc programme in Mechanical Engineering is to give students both a broad and an in-depth understanding of all mechanical engineering disciplines. The programme trains engineers to handle the entire process of innovative thinking, design, manufacturing and operation. Students select a track from among the six choices. Programme Tracks • Transportation Engineering focuses on the sustainable and effective development, design, construction and operation of marine and ground transport systems. Often this includes the integration of different modes of transportation. • Control Engineering is about the analysis and design of reliable high-performance measurement and control strategies for a wide variety of dynamic technological processes. The track places particular emphasis on two fields of industrial application: advanced process control and motion control for electromechanical and servohydraulic systems. • Sustainable Processes and Energy Technologies gives students the technological knowledge and the theoretical, numerical and experimental skills to play an active role in the development of innovative new energy and process technologies. Students study key basic disciplines, including thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, process modelling and simulation, and process equipment design. • Precision and Microsystems Engineering trains students in such disciplines as advanced simulation, mechatronics, smart Microsystems and high-precision production techniques – all of which play an integral role in the design and development of extremely small devices. • BioMechanical Design focuses on systems designed to interact with biological systems (such as the human body), or systems that follow the principles of biological systems (biomimetics). Examples are telemanipulation systems (surgical robots, offshore and space robots) and steerable endoscopes for intestinal examination using principles found in octopus tentacles. • Solid and Fluid Mechanics focuses on the fundamentals of contemporary mechanics for applications in the design, modelling and control of all manner of structures and systems essential in our daily lives. Consistent with trends in the field, the emphasis in the programme is more on numerical models and techniques for the analysis and design of equipment and systems, rather than analytical approaches. • Materials Engineering and Applications covers the functions of existing materials and the design of new materials. Knowledge of materials is essential to optimise structures and to drive technological innovation. In the programme, students learn to utilise their knowledge in applications across a range of sectors: for example, light weight materials for the automotive industry, strong materials for offshore platforms, and materials capable of functioning normally in a radioactive environment. Career prospects Graduates of the programme have wide latitude in their career choices. Graduates of the programme have found positions with large multinationals such as Shell, AkzoNobel, Philips, Siemens, Stork, the Port of Rotterdam, NS, and various engineering firms. Many others continue at TU Delft with studies leading to a PhD. Admission requirements Dutch applicants holding a BSc degree in Mechanical Engineering are eligible for admission. Other applicants may be admitted but may be required to enrol in a bridging programme, like graduates with a Bachelor’s degree from a Dutch HBO. International applicants should meet TU Delft’s general admission requirements and will be evaluated on an individual basis. For more information www.me.msc.tudelft.nl Academic counsellor: Drs.
