Note: examinations are usually called ‘tentamens’ in Dutch. Formally an ‘examen’ in Dutch is the degree audit taking place at the end of a programme phase such as a
Propaedeuse (end of first year), a Bachelor or a Master phase. These ‘examens’ are formalities in the Dutch university system. There are no end-of-year examinations!

TU Delft – University Facts and Mission
Founded in 1862, Delft University of Technology is the oldest, largest, and most
comprehensive university of technology in the Netherlands. With over 13.000
students and 2100 scientists (including 200 professors), it is an establishment
of both national importance and significant international standing. Renowned
for its high standard of education and research, the University collaborates
with other educational establishments and research institutes, both in the
Netherlands and overseas. It also enjoys partnerships with governments, branch
organisations, numerous consultancies, the industry, and companies from the
small and medium business sectors. Delft University of Technology has eight
faculties offering a host of engineering programmes, many of them unique in
the Netherlands.
Working together with other educational establishments, various research
institutes, international business partners and the industry, TU Delft aims to
provide students with all the necessary tools for a successful career: an excellent
education, relevant, practical experience, and the broadest possible knowledge
base. Detailed information can be obtained from the website www.tudelft.nl
INTERNATIONAL OFFICE
Going abroad to study is a big step. Living alone, away from your family, a
different country, with a different way of learning can be quite tough sometimes.
The International Office will be your first point of contact at the University.
The International Office staff handles the application procedure, financial and
housing matters, and the distribution of student ID cards. The International
Office comprises the central TU Delft Student Registration Office, which registers
you as a student when you are admitted to TU Delft.
Should you have any problems or questions the International Office can provide
all the help you need. Several departments can advise you on a wide range of
issues such as accommodation, university enrollment, insurances, residence
permits and legal questions. If you have personal problems you can make an
appointment with one of the university psychologists. For students who are
disabled the International Office is the place to get in touch with a specialised
counsellor.

TU DELFT LIBRARY
Your digital window!
All the relevant science and technology information you need
The TU Delft Library is the largest science and technology library in the
Netherlands. The Library selects, manages, processes and provides relevant
information for your studies from in and outside the Netherlands. Much of the
information is digital.
Stop searching, start finding!
During your course, you will find that the Virtual Knowledge Centre (VKC) of
your programme will come in very useful.
The VKC is the ideal place to start when looking for information in your field, as
it provides ‘virtually all knowledge in your field’. Learn about your VKC at http://
vkc.library.tudelft.nl .
The digital window
At www.library.tudelft.nl you will find not just information on specific subjects,
but also practical information about the Library, the online catalogue, databases,
works of reference, internet sources, instructions and maps. There are also
articles, PhD theses, reports, graduation dissertations, lecture notes, patents
and other TU Delft publications at http://repository.tudelft.nl.

If you use a computer that is connected to the TU Delft campus network, you
can use, digitally, virtually every service provided by the Library. The Central
Branch on Prometheusplein 1, behind the Aula Congress Centre, is open during
the daytime, evening, and at weekends, for browsing through the books,
studying with or without a computer, meeting, and making copies. The opening
times of the Library are extended yet further during examination periods.
The Central Branch is also where you will find the Trésor, the treasure
house with unique, fragile and valuable items. The Trésor can be visited by
appointment (http://tresor.library.tudelft.nl). The Map Room is housed in the
Architecture faculty library. Some faculties have their own library, but everyone
is welcome in the Central Branch!
REGULATIONS
There are a number of formal regulations for the faculty organization, the
programmes and their execution.
These are:
• The Faculty Regulations
• The Course and Examination Regulations (‘Onderwijs- en Examenreglement’)

[email protected].
Student Health Care
The university-contracted physicians are part of the Student Health Care
organisation (in Dutch the SGZ). The SGZ is an independent organisation, which
also offers preventive medical care for students. The university-contracted
physicians also serve as ordinary general practitioners. The SGZ is located in the
SGZ healthcare centre.
Address:
Surinamestraat 4
2612 EA Delft
To make an appointment, call +31 (0)15 212 1507. The healthcare centre also
has a physiotherapist and an ordinary physician’s practice.
Opening times: 8:30 to 12:15
You may report to the university physicians for vaccinations, medical check-ups
and medical declarations. University physicians also help and advise students
who have physical or psychological problems that could be detrimental to their
studies.

Studying abroad
It is possible to complete a part of your studies abroad. TU Delft participates in
a number of cooperative arrangements with many universities worldwide, the
existence of which facilitates international exchange. Because of visa problems,
international exchange is not open to foreign MSc students.
For more information, please visit www.tudelft.nl/buitenland. You may also
come by the CiTG International Office and ask Maaike Kraeger-Holland for
assistance concerning international exchange.
Additional information on completing internships, graduation projects or
supplementary graduation work abroad can be found in the manual Studeren in
het buitenland Civiele Techniek (Studying civil engineering abroad), which can
be obtained from the CiTG International Office.
Each year, the International Office cooperates with the Fellowship for Practical
Studies to organise a ‘Study Abroad’ event, which provides information on
studying abroad. During this event, coordinators will discuss the possibilities,
and students will tell about their experiences with international exchanges,
internships, graduation projects and supplementary graduation projects abroad.
CiTG International Office
Room 2.73
Tel: +31 (0)15 27 81174
Open: Monday (9:00-13:00), Tuesday (13:00-17:00), Wednesday (9:00-12:00),
Thursday (13:00-17:00) and Friday (9:00-13:00), unless announced otherwise.
Internship Office (CT4040)
The Internship Office provides information and support on all matters
concerning internships. Please come to the International Office for general
information, registration (in writing, not via Blackboard) or to obtain the course
manual. Maaike Kraeger-Holland will be glad to assist you. If you would like to
discuss your preferences or plans concerning internships, she can also arrange
an appointment for you with the Internship Coordinator, Peter van Eck.

Emergencies before or during exams
You may have a problem reaching the venue where you are due to sit an
examination. You may be confronted with unexpected traffic jams, a railway
power cut or something else entirely beyond your control, causing you to be late
or to have to miss the exam altogether.
In such cases it is always wise, if possible, to contact one of the academic
counsellors directly, Karel Karsen (tel. +31 (0)15 27 83337) or Pascal de Smidt
(tel. +31 (0)15 27 81068).
They will then contact the lecturers responsible for the examination immediately
and try to find a suitable solution. Bear in mind that such steps can only be
taken in the event of real emergencies and that a perfect solution cannot always
be found.
Students who arrive late for the examination because of travel delays are
obliged to report immediately to the invigilator. He or she will then decide on the
best plan of action.
Obviously all this only applies to students who have registered in time for
examinations through the usual channels and
according to the usual procedures.
Quality assurance
Students’ opinions are important in determining the quality of the education.
This feedback allows bottlenecks to be identified. For this reason, a quarterly
course evaluation is held with the director of studies, the quality assurance
employee and the student societies.
S T U DY G U I D E 2 0 0 7 / 2 0 0 8
2-Civil_Engineering.indd 23
23
25-07-2007 14:57:32
Because course evaluations are intended to improve the quality of the
education, they address both positive and negative matters. When necessary,
measures are taken to improve the course. All of this information is published
on Blackboard.
The summary of the course evaluations is compiled from information obtained
from the following sources:
• Course evaluations with the director of studies, the quality assurance
employee and any disputes
• Instructor reactions
• Sensor survey reports
The student societies play an important role in these evaluations. They often
contribute information that plays a fundamental role in the surveys.
Graduation
Before you start your graduation project, go to the Service Desk (across from
PS on the first floor) to complete the ‘Request for Graduation Commencement’
form. If it is determined that you meet the requirements, the ‘Authorisation to
Take Your Degree’ will be ready for you after approximately one week.
You should then make an appointment with your thesis coordinator to present
this authorisation, discuss your examination programme and complete a
graduation card. Your thesis coordinator will ensure that the graduation card is
processed.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Complete the ‘Request for Graduation Commencement’ form at the Service
Desk.
2. Take the ‘Authorisation to Take Your Degree’ form to your thesis coordinator.
3. Complete your graduation card with your thesis coordinator.
4. The thesis coordinator will submit the card to the Shared Service Centre for
processing and inspection.

C I V I L E N G INEERING MSC
25-07-2007 14:57:32
Later, when you are ready:
5. Register on time for the MSc examination (obtain the form from the Service
Desk or download it from the Internet).
6. Should you find that you have a time problem, do not forget to withdraw
(obtain the form from the Service Desk or download it from the Internet).
When embarking on the graduation programme, it is also important to observe
the procedures that are specified in the Board of Examiners’ Rules and
Regulations with regard to the following:
Article 17: the graduation work
Article 18: composition of the examination committee
Article 19: the examination committee’s approach

General Information
General Information on Structural Engineering
Structural mechanics, materials science and structures play a very important
role in the education of civil engineers. In combination with the science of
concrete, steel, wood and composite materials, structural mechanics is applied
for the design, construction and maintenance of structures. These structures
range from typical hydraulic engineering structures and bridges to tall buildings,
roads and railways.
The Structural Engineering track has eight specialisations: Structural Design,
Structural Mechanics, Materials Science, Concrete Structures, Steel and Wood
Structures, Structural Design, Road and Railway Engineering and Hydraulic
Engineering Structures. Depending on the student’s interest, thesis projects
may focus on functional or structural design, or on the construction or
maintenance of a structure. Thesis projects may also be devoted to theoretical
or experimental research.
Thesis projects may involve the investigation of a subject in broad perspective, although
specialised projects that focus on very specific topics are also possible. Graduates of the
Structural Engineering track are employed in a wide variety of functions (e.g. structural
design, construction, maintenance, research) in many organisations, including public
authorities, consultancy firms, contractors and research groups.

General Information on Building Engineering
The Building Engineering track is primarily concerned with the technological and
physical aspects of buildings. The appreciation of buildings depends not only
on their architecture, but also on the quality of their functioning, the building
46
2-Civil_Engineering.indd 46
C I V I L E N G INEERING MSC
25-07-2007 14:57:37
physics and building technology. This track emphasises the solution of buildingengineering problems, and this demands precise scientific knowledge.
To obtain the required insight and skills to address these problems, students are
expected to have substantial knowledge of the utility aspects of building, building
physics, materials science, structural design, building services and finishing works.
The Building Engineering track (120 ECTs) includes several established courses
(24 ECTs). Students are allowed to tailor their Master’s programmes by choosing
courses from the pools of Building Engineering courses (16 ECTs), specialisationrelated courses (22 ECTs) and free electives (16 ECTs). The Building Engineering
track concludes with a thesis project (42 ECTs).
The Master’s track in Building Engineering offers four specialisations:
• Building Physics
• Building Technology
• Structural Design
• Design & Construction Processes

General Information on Hydraulic Engineering
The Hydraulic Engineering track offers two specialisations:
• Hydraulic Engineering & Environmental Fluid Mechanics, including Coastal
Engineering (coastal morphology, coastal inlets, methods of coastal
protection, design of breakwaters, dredging technology), River Engineering
(flow in rivers, sediment transport, river morphology), Ports & Waterways
(ports, waterways, simulation techniques of logistic aspects of ports,
terminals and locks), Environmental Fluid Mechanics (free surface flows and
related transport processes, turbulence, density currents, surface-waves and
fluid-structure interactions)

• Hydraulic Structures (relatively rigid structures, including water locks,
weirs, piers, storm-surge barriers and quay walls; the design of sub-soil
infrastructure, including immersed or bored tunnels and underground spaces.
Although probabilistic design methods play an important role in the design of
sea defences, they are currently implied in all fields of hydraulic engineering)

The Study Guide for Hydraulic Engineering is available on Blackboard (MSc
Specialisation in Hydraulic Engineering) and from the MSc coordinator (Dr P.J.
Visser, Room 3.96).
General Information on Water Management
Water is essential to humans and nature, but it can also present a threat. For
example, rivers provide drinking water and water for irrigation, but they may
also cause devastating floods. The Water Management track is concerned with
understanding water flows (i.e. surface water flows and groundwater flows)
as they occur naturally, and with regulating these flows for societal purposes.
Water managers are concerned with practically relevant issues, including
flood and drought predictions, drinking-water supply, sewage and wastewater
treatment, water quality control in lakes and streams and the operational control
of water in rural and urban areas.
Water Management plays a dominant role in:
• Environment (the quantity and quality of surface water and groundwater)
• Urban and rural development (irrigation and drainage)
• Design of infrastructure for drinking-water supply, sewage and wastewater
treatment, with particular emphasis on the protection of both public health
and environment
48
2-Civil_Engineering.indd 48
C I V I L E N G INEERING MSC
25-07-2007 14:57:37
The Water Management track has several specialisations:
• Sanitary Engineering: designing, building and operating installations and
infrastructure for drinking water supply, sewage and wastewater treatment
• Hydrology: description and quantification of water systems in the natural
hydrologic cycle, as well as the effects of humans on these natural systems
• Water Resources Management: designing, building and operating water
management systems and accompanying management organisations
Modelling, laboratory work, fieldwork and pilot-plant testing play an important
role in each focus area. Master’s degree students are thus actively involved in
the research projects of the department.

General Information on Transport & Planning
The lecturers of the Department of Transport & Planning teach general and
introductory courses in transport and planning within the Bachelor’s programme
in Civil Engineering. They are also responsible for the MSc track in Transport
& Planning. This track addresses such topics as the modelling of spatial
developments, activities and trips in networks, the analysis of traffic flows on
roads and intersections, the application of informatics and communication
technology for transport and traffic management, the design and control of
public transport systems and the evaluation of the effects of traffic on the
economy, road users and the environment.
Through elective courses, students can choose their own emphases within
this field (e.g. they may choose to focus on infrastructure planning or traffic
engineering).
Graduates of the MSc track in Transport & Planning have found jobs with
the government (e.g. the Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water
Management; the Dutch Directorate for Public Works and Water Management;
transport and spatial planning departments of provincial and municipal
governments), public transport companies, research institutes and consulting
firms. They hold positions as planners, designers, researchers, consultants and,
after several years of experience, managers.

General Information Geo-Engineering
The soil and subsoil, on and in which people live and work, is the basis for
keeping the land safe, convenient and accessible. Building structures, bridges
and quays cannot function well without good foundations. Without knowledge
50
2-Civil_Engineering.indd 50
C I V I L E N G INEERING MSC
25-07-2007 14:57:37
of soil behaviour, civil engineers would not be able to bore tunnels or design
building pits well. Properly functioning roads and dikes, which are constructed
with soil on soil, would also be impossible without specific knowledge of
the subsoil. Furthermore, it would be impossible to intensify the use of the
substratum without modern, hybrid construction techniques in which safety
plays an important role. In short, without soil and subsoil, there would be no
land. Because the geo-engineering is involved in all building practices, it is one
of the basic fields within the discipline of civil engineering.
The Geo-Engineering track has the following specialisations:
• Geomechanics (GM)
• Geotechnical Engineering (GTE)
• Underground Space Technology (UST)
• Geo-Environmental Engineering (GEE) [under construction, not available]
• Engineering Geology (EG)
The Geo-engineering section, which coordinates the MSc track in Geoengineering, is part of the Geotechnology department, and it is involved in the
Master’s degree programme in Civil Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences.
While students focusing on Engineering Geology obtain the MSc degree in
Applied Earth Sciences, those choosing one of the other four specialisations
obtain the MSc degree in Civil Engineering. The degree that a student will
ultimately acquire thus depends upon a focused choice.
Because the entire span of the Geo-engineering track can be classified into two
fields (i.e. Civil Engineering and Applied Earth Sciences), two MSc coordinators
are appointed, one for each sub-field. These coordinators consider the
programme and supervision of the graduate students in detail with regard to
their respective subfields. The administration and organisation of all graduate
students in Applied Earth Sciences is the responsibility of Dr D. Ngan-Tillard
(Room 00.520, Laboratory for Geo-engineering, tel. +31 (0)15 27 83325). The
coordinator for graduate students in Civil Engineering is J.P. Oostveen (Room
00.480, Laboratory for Geo-Engineering, tel. +31 (0)15 27 85423).

Technology in Sustainable Development annotation
In addition to the Master’s degree, students of the Delft University of Technology
can acquire an annotation for Technology in Sustainable Development. Three
tasks must be fulfilled in order to be eligible for this annotation:
• Participation in a two-week course on recent developments in SD and the
‘Sustainable Technological Development’ method
• Passing SD courses for 11 credits, chosen from two clusters
• Completing a thesis project related to SD (45-60 credits) (The SD referee
advises students on the content of their work on SD.)
This programme broadens and deepens the knowledge and skills that students
will need in order to contribute effectively to sustainable technological
development. Depth is guaranteed by the thesis project, which must focus on
sustainability. Before and after each engineering programme, a ‘Sustainable
Development referee’ will determine whether Sustainable Development has been
sufficiently elaborated in the research question and in the final thesis.
Broadening of knowledge is achieved by the Technology in Sustainable
Development course (WM0922TU) and a number of electives. WM0922 consists
of two full weeks of study (including a one-week boat trip), in addition to
independent study. It is offered twice each year: once in English (in the fall) and
once in Dutch (in the spring).
Electives
Students are required to earn at least 11 credits from courses oriented towards
SD. These courses are divided into two clusters:
A. Design, Analysis, Tools
B. Organisation, Policy & Society
A full list of electives is available on the following website: http://www.odo.tudelft.nl.
