Course equivalency Formula

TU Delft uses the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) shared by all universities in the European Union. One academic year consists of 60 EC. One EC is equivalent to a study load of 28 hours (including lectures, laboratory courses, practical work, assignments, projects, private work, examinations or other assessment activities). Bachelor programmes at TU Delft consist of 180 EC and Master programmes, 120 EC.

Course load Information

• Students are allowed to choose their courses.
• An advisable course package should comprise between 24 and 30 EC (European Credits) per semester. Less than 24 EC is not acceptable, even if allowed by your home university
• TU Delft programmes are academically challenging and rigorous, therefore students are expected to be motivated and dedicated throughout their studies. Should the results of an exchange student appear to be unsatisfactory, they will be discussed with the student and the home institution.

Transfer credit

The transfer credit process takes approximately 16 weeks following each submission deadline. You should allow sufficient time to meet important deadlines that may affect you (e.g. application for graduation, registration in courses that require prerequisites that you took on exchange, entry to a major/honours program, etc.)
