MSc in Offshore and Dredging Engineering More than 70 percent of the earth’s surface is covered by water. Offshore engineering is all about applying technologies to the difficult offshore environment: developing systems for the resource recovery from the earth’s seabed, laying underwater cables, and designing fixed and floating platforms for the oil and gas industry, dredging vessels for the dredging industry, dredging equipment for land reclamation projects, and offshore wind farms. At TU Delft, the MSc programme in Offshore Engineering prepares skilled professionals for careers working on the design and development of all sorts of manmade structures and equipment for offshore use. Offshore Engineering offers specialisations in Bottom Founded (Fixed) Structures, Floating Structures, and Dredging Engineering Career prospects The offshore and dredging industry is an expanding sector with a presence all around the globe. Most employment opportunities are in the private sector with companies such as Shell Oil, Heerema, All Seas, Bluewater, Gusto Engineering, Huisman Itrec, Boskalis Dredging, IHC, and Van Oord Dredging and Marine Contractors. Admission requirements Students with a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Marine Technology or Civil Engineering from a Dutch HBO are eligible for admission, but will be required to complete a bridging course. Students with BSc in Mechanical Engineering, Marine Technology, Civil Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics or equivalent from a Dutch university of technology, and international applicants with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Marine Technology, Civil Engineering, Ocean Engineering or equivalent will be considered for the programme, but international students must meet TU Delft’s general admission requirements and will be evaluated on an individual basis. Students with degrees in other fields should consult the programme coordinator. For more information www.oe.msc.tudelft.nl Dr. S.A.

MSc Programme in Science Education and Communication The Science Education and Communication programme bridges the gap between science and technology on the one hand and society on the other. There are two separate tracks within the programme. The Science Communication track prepares you for positions facilitating the transfer of knowledge between scientists and key players in industry and government, or between scientists and the general public. You will deepen your knowledge of science and technology through advanced studies and learn to apply principles of communication theory to situations where effective communication of complex scientific concepts is required. This track is taught in English. The Science Education track prepares you for a career as a teacher of mathematics, physics, chemistry or computer science, and is only taught in Dutch. In the programme, you will deepen your knowledge of the subjects you will teach, and gain extensive teaching skills. The programme also covers the development of educational programmes and materials, and includes a period of practical training. Career prospects Because they serve as bridges between science and technology and society, Science Communication graduates have key roles to play in industry and business, government, the media, research institutes and universities, and NGOs. The Track in Science Education focuses primarily on a career in Dutch upper secondary general education institutions (HAVO and VWO). Admission requirements Dutch applicants should check the website for requirements. International applicants should have at least a Bachelor’s degree in one of the sciences or in engineering, and proof For more information www.sec.msc.tudelft.nl For national applicants Martin Jacobs Programme Coordinator T +31 (0)15 27 85594 E info-sec@tudelft.nl For international applicants Ms Tamara Bacsik International Recruitment Officer T +31 (0)15 27 88180 E msc-tnw@tudelft.nl of English proficiency.
