1 The Industrial Design Engineering faculty
In 1969, the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) founded the faculty of Industrial Design
Engineering (IDE) to educate students to design better products and services for people around the
globe. Today, IDE has 25 full professors, 120 faculty employees and over 120 PhD candidates. The
faculty has over 5500 alumni, and 2,000 Industrial Design Engineering students are enrolled in our
Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes. IDE is one of the eight faculties of the Delft University of
Technology.
1.1
The mission of the faculty Industrial Design Engineering: Design for our future
Flexible production plants, a device that prevents athletes from getting sprains, an umbrella that
withstands the strongest winds, community sanitation centres for slums in India, games that help
people with dementia: these are just a few of the products designed by TU Delft’s industrial design
engineers. Their work makes the future better for all of us, wherever we are and whatever we do.
Industrial design engineers operate in an ever-more dynamic and complex world. Technologies are
changing rapidly and offer a range of new possibilities. A few years ago, there were only a few mobile
internet users. Today, nearly everybody uses a smartphone to stay connected 24/7.
At the same time, society is facing major new challenges: the world’s population is increasing rapidly
and people are living longer, resources are becoming scarce and the burden on healthcare systems is
expanding exponentially.
At the faculty of Industrial Design Engineering, students and researchers learn to approach these
challenges proactively. We encourage them to be curious, tolerant, cooperative, determined, inspiring
and creative. They can cut through complex problems and identify viable solutions. Industrial design
engineers know what people want now and what they might need and desire in years to come. Our
industrial design engineers design for the future – our shared future.
1.2
Education
The IDE faculty offers one BSc and three MSc-programmes.
The MSc-programmes are:
•
•
•
Master in Design for Interaction (DfI)
Master in Integrated Product Design (IPD)
Master in Strategic Product Design (SPD)
In November 2014 the accreditation of the three MSc-programmes has been extended until December
2020. This extension is based on a visit from an external accreditation committee who assessed all our
programmes as ‘good’ on all areas and levels.
1.3
Research
The mission of the faculty shows that both education and research contribute to the realization of the
objectives of the faculty. Education and research are closely interwoven.
The academic faculty staff has both a role in providing education but also participates in one or more
research programmes of the faculty.
5 | Master Programmes Industrial Design Engineering
Research and its results are implemented in the courses and education so that students always keep
informed of the latest scientific findings and developments.
In addition, students participate, where possible, in research projects of the faculty (eg minors,
electives, projects and / or graduation).
In the coming years there are four areas where we will do research to contribute to the needs of the
profession and society:
•
Unlocking people:
How can we unlock the power of people by changing behaviour?
•
Meaningful interactions:
Finding ways to improve usability and acceptability of new technology: turn emerging
technologies into widely accepted and used technologies.
•
Let’s RE(d)USE:
How can we make better use of the resources on earth, concerning consumer products,
services, beliefs and behaviours?
•
Care for our health:
Looking for better ways to care for the aging population, the rise of healthcare costs and the
quality of care in the whole chain.
In 2014, the faculty's research programmes in the period 2007-2012 were evaluated by an
international committee as 'very good to excellent'. The faculty's report on the research ('selfstudy')
and the verdict of the committee ('research assessment report') can be found on the faculty website:
http://www.io.tudelft.nl/en/news/article/detail/kwaliteit-onderzoek-bij-faculteit-zeer-hoog-aldusonderzoeksvisitatie/

2 The DfI, IPD and SPD Master programmes
2.1
General principles of the MSc programmes
The MSc programmes are based on a number of general principles on matters relating to content
and teaching, including:
• Education in design is the guiding principle throughout the curriculum,
• The design projects bring together theory from the different disciplines, methodical aspects of
the design process and skills from training exercises,
• The basic knowledge imparted in the various disciplines is practiced and applied in projects
and assignments,
• Education centers on the student and encourages self-activity and independence on the part
of the student.
2.2
General structure of the DfI, IPD and SPD Master programmes
Each Master programme comprises two years of study of two semesters each. Students can start
a Master programme either in the fall semester (September) or in the spring semester (February).
The TU Delft uses the European Credit Transfer System. Therefore, the study load of
each course is expressed in EC’s: European Credits. 1 EC equals a study load of 28 hours.
A Master programme consists of 120 EC; 60 EC per year and 30 EC per semester.
Each Master programme encompasses:
• Three shared courses and the Joint Master Project for students of all three Master
programmes (21 EC)
• Master-specific courses and projects (48 EC)
• The graduation project and thesis (33 EC)
• Electives (18 EC)
The first two semesters each comprise:
• Shared courses for students of all IDE MSc-programmes
• Theoretical courses
• A project in which the theory is elaborated in a design or research assignment
• Electives
The third and fourth semester comprise:
• The Joint Master Project, in which students of different MSc programmes work together in
small groups
• Master-specific courses and/or electives
• The graduation project. It is possible to choose for an internal- or external project with a
focus on design or research. Furthermore, it is possible to choose for a project based on the
student’s own proposition.
The first week of each semester starts with a compulsory GPS (General and Professional Skills) week.
These weeks are, among others, a preparation for the coming semester.
7 | Master Programmes Industrial Design Engineering
2.3
Electives
The IDE Master’s courses include an ’electives’ examination component of 18 EC. Electives enable
students to individualise their study programmes, for example by deepening their understanding of
particular aspects of the subject area or by filling in gaps in their knowledge or skills, or by broadening
their knowledge to include related disciplines.
The following qualify as electives:
• ‘Free’ elective courses offered by the IDE faculty.
• ‘Tied’ electives; these are compulsory courses of the other two Master programmes.
Note: it is not possible to participate in the compulsory projects of another Master
programme,
• Master courses from other TU Delft faculties: go to http://studyguide.tudelft.nl,
• Master courses at other universities in the Netherlands
• Master courses at foreign universities at a level comparable to that of TU Delft
In chapter 9 an overview of the ‘free’ elective courses is presented. In this IDE elective course table
the courses are allotted to themes/disciplines. This table can be helpful in choosing from the rich
palette of IDE elective courses. The table can also be found on the IDE Subway map on the
studentportal.
To take an elective at another university, a student must be enrolled at that institution and must
supply proof of enrolment to TU Delft. Also, each university has it’s own rules and working methods
student should inform properly. In general, no additional tuition fees are to be paid.
2.4
Research orientation in a Master programme
Students wanting an extra focus on research in their Master programme can do so by:
• Focusing on research in one of the two Master-specific projects in the first year. In the
SPD programme the project in the spring semester is a research project;
• Focusing on research in the Joint Master Project;
• Choosing research-oriented electives (see the table of IDE MSc electives);
• Finishing their Master programme with a research oriented Graduation Project in one of the
research groups of the faculty or in a research institute outside the faculty.
2.5
Medisign specialisation in the DfI- and IPD-programme
DfI- and IPD-students can choose to follow the Medisign specialisation (see also:
www.io.tudelft.nl/medisign). If the following conditions are fulfilled, students will receive an
endorsement on their diploma supplement:
1. The student shall organise the following courses in a way specific to this specialisation:
• One of the master specific projects or the Joint Master Project (ID4045),
• The Graduation Project.
2. The student shall obtain at least 9 EC of specialisation-specific electives of which minimal 6 EC
should be electives offered by the faculty IDE (course codes with IDxxxx).
Register for this specialisation? Send an email to [email protected].
See chapter 8 for an index of the specialisation-specific electives.

2.6
Annotations
Specific electives, combined with specific content in the Master Graduation Project, may lead to
a TU Delft annotation to the Master exam. An annotation leads to a specific certificate.
For IDE students there are two options:
• Annotation in ‘Technology in Sustainable Development’
See the website: http://www.tudelft.nl/tisd
• Annotation in ‘Entrepreneurship’
See the website: http://www.dce.tudelft.nl (choose English)
2.7
Entrepreneurship
The TU Delft offers diverse options for entrepreneurial students who want to start their own company.
Whether you have a brilliant idea or just want to explore the possibilities. From business lectures and
start up visits abroad, to hackathons and courses in writing a business plan.
If you are curious about starting up a company, but you don’t know how, the TU Delft organises
several inspiring activities that help to fan the entrepreneurial flame. These activities are worth
joining, not only because they are mostly free of charge, but also because you get the chance to meet
people who already started their own company.
TU Delft issues the TU-wide Entrepreneurship Annotation for which one has to fulfil some
requirements contingent to the master programme followed by the student. For IDE students it is
relatively easy to attain this annotation. Please contact Frido Smulders ([email protected])
who is responsible for the Entrepreneurship Annotation within the faculty of Industrial Design
Engineering. Please have a look at Blackboard under the tab ‘Organisations’ and under the heading
of: TUD Annotation Entrepreneurship @ IDE and then ‘Information’ for the master specific
requirements for this annotation.
-
Besides the annotation, is it also possible to follow a single Entrepreneurship course. All students may
apply for the courses, sometimes with a requirement to hand in an idea for a business. More
information can be found on:
www.yesdelftstudents.nl/YESDelftStudents/Activities
www.tudelft.nl/en/business/entrepreneurship-education
Finally, IDE MSc-students are allowed to graduate on the development of their own idea for a new
venture. Depending on the master program the student follows this could range from the design of
your own integrated product (e.g. Senz Umbrella), your own experience rich product (e.g.
Babybloom), your med tech product (Nightbalance), etc. Depending on the master program of the
student the graduation project could be focused on subjects like developing the product,
performing market research and need assessment or working towards a proof of concept. All in line
with the learning goals of the student’s master programme. Contact your master coordinator or
Frido Smulders.
For IDE students three MSc. activities/courses are worth mentioning:
1) Startup Voucher: get max. 2.500,- euro of the TU Delft to build your prototype to startup
your business. Contact: [email protected]
2) WM0506TU, Ready to Start up. Runs twice a year.
3) ID5657 & ID5658 (C)lean Tech Launch Pad (Part 1&2): learn from a serial entrepreneur how
to launch your company. Contact: [email protected]

2.8
Honours Programme Master (HPM)
The faculty offers excellent students who have finished their Bachelor programme with an average
mark of 7.5 or higher, and/or nominal running students who have shown an excellent performance
during their first master’s semester, the opportunity to follow an Honours Programme in addition to
the regular Master programme.
Students who meet the criteria for participation in the Honours Programme Master can apply by
sending in a letter of motivation within their first MSc semester (deadline dates will be announced
during the semester). The selection procedure furthermore consists of an oral interview.
The Honours Programme at master’s level is very much student-let, meaning that the HP-student is
basically working towards the realization of his/her own vision. Students who are selected and
admitted to the HPM will, in consultation with the faculty, work on this individual project of 16 EC.
Furthermore, participation in the TU Delft-wide component of the HPM (consisting of the course
‘Critical Reflection on Technology’ (5 EC) and an active participation within the HPM community) is a
compulsory element of the programme.
Altogether, IDE’s Honours Programme Master comprises a study load of 21 EC, to be completed in
parallel to the regular Master programme and within the regular programme’s time.

Communication between students and IDE faculty
For (important) announcements, the faculty uses Blackboard and your TU Delft email address. Make
sure you check this email address regularly.
For the faculty, the input and feedback of students is important. Therefore, the Faculty has several
consultative bodies in which students participate:
• Faculty Student Council (FSR), representative advisory board, consisting of 7 students who
are annually chosen. Monthly meetings with the IDE Dean.
• Educational Advisory Committee (OKIO), counseling body, consisting of 5 students and 5 staff
members. Monthly meetings.
• Board of Education (OD). One student participates in the two-weekly meeting of the Board of
Education in which a.o. the Director of Education and the Program Coordinators participate.
• Consultation between the O&S department with representatives of the FSR, the i.d student
society and the OD student member; every three weeks.
The education committee of the student society i.d serves as a platform for all student
representatives in the above-mentioned bodies.
3.4
Study association i.d
Study association i.d looks after the interests of Industrial Design Engineering students. It does so by
offering students opportunities to enrich their studies, for example by strengthening contact between
IDE students and staff, and by improving contacts with other faculties and programmes. IDE students
also get the opportunity to acquire knowledge about their specialist field and the industry.
The study association also has a committee focusing on educational issues: i.d-Education is dedicated
to listening to students’ ideas and comments, and attempting to solve students’ problems. i.dEducation represents the IDE students and the committee participates in educational decisions.
The association organizes all kinds of extracurricular activities for students, geared to adding value to
the program and the field of IDE. These activities are inspiring, fun and could add some diversion to
your study. Doing a committee yourself is, besides being fun, a very educational experience.
More information about the activities offered can be found on: www.id.tudelft.nl. You can also contact
the association by e-mail: [email protected] or by visiting via the i.d-Counter.

Blackboard (http://blackboard.tudelft.nl)
Blackboard is a digital learning environment. It is a website where instructors offer study
materials and assignments for individual courses and a place where students can communicate
with other students and instructors.
Blackboard also offers each student a “virtual hard drive” of 200 MB. You can access the
documents on this drive from any computer.
The following information is available on Blackboard:
• Preliminary course information,
• Information about the course: Schedules, literature announcements, information about the
instructor(s),
• Study tasks: assignments, self tests,
• Communication and cooperation: e-mail, discussion boards, group work, chat, delivery of
assignments,
• Study materials: study texts, lecture sheets, practice exams,
• For group work: form groups and choose assignments,
• Course results (grades),
• (Free) download of software.
Blackboard is used for communication to students by the faculty. Therefore check the general
news and the announcement sections of your courses regularly.
You can access Blackboard at http://blackboard.tudelft.nl, use your NetID to login.

Prevention of fraud
The Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering pursues an active policy in preventing and detecting
fraud. By fraud, we mean copying, committing plagiarism, freeriding and using fictitious research
data. In more general terms, fraud means: all cases in which you suggest that something is your own
work when in fact that is not the case.
More information on the fraud policy of the Faculty can be found on the website:
www.io.tudelft.nl/fraud. On this website more information on how to prevent fraud and which
instruments the faculty is using in detecting fraud can be found.
3.5.6
Readers / lecture notes
The course descriptions in the digital study guide (http://studyguide.tudelft.nl) specify the materials
that are needed for each course. During the introductory lecture of each course, the instructor will
update this information and provide any additional details. Because book assignments may change
from year to year, it is a good idea to delay purchasing your books until your instructor confirms

4 Procedures and rules
The procedures and rules regarding the education, teaching and examinations are registered in
the Teaching and Examination Regulations (TER) and the Rules & Guidelines of the Examination
Board (R&R). The TER contains a general part which is applicable to all Delft UT-students, and
Implementing Regulations (IR) in which the IDE Programmes are described. The TER, IR and R&R
containing the full and legitimate text, are included in this guide.
See also Student portal IDE >Education > Rules and Regulations.
Below some important articles are briefly described.
4.1
Passing rules governing the master degree audit
The student has passed the master degree audit when the following requirements have been met:
• A result has been earned for all program courses as mentioned in the Implementing
Regulations to the IDE TER MSc: a mark, a pass (V) or an exemption (VR); and
• none of the marks is lower than 6.0.
A student can receive the predicate ‘with distinction’ for the master degree audit if the Board of
Examiners decides to grant that predicate and several requirements have been met. These
requirements can be found in the R&R section 9.
4.2
Enrolment for all IDE courses and electives
The IDE faculty uses a central registration system, Osiris, for registration for courses. The purpose of
this system is to determine how many students will attend a particular course. This allows instructors
to anticipate the number of students in order to arrange for their classes (e.g., size of lecture or
examination rooms, number of readers that need to be printed, enough staff members for coaching
and guidance).
Students must use Osiris to register for all courses and electives. Registration takes place for a whole
semester, meaning for two quartiles at once. NOTE: Do not forget to register on time, students who
do not register before the deadline cannot participate in courses!!!
The faculty will send an email to your TU Delft email address as well as place announcements in
Blackboard to announce Osiris is open for registration. This will be approximately 8 weeks before the
start of each semester.
Read all information concerning registration and withdrawal for IDE courses and electives carefully.
You can find all information on www.io.tudelft.nl/osiris and find access to Osiris through Blackboard or
at http://osistud.tudelft.nl/.
If you have problems with registering for courses in Osiris, contact the teaching coordinator at
[email protected] before the registration deadline.
It is the student’s own responsibility to register for examinations and courses!
Registration deadlines for IDE courses and electivesDeadlines for registration for courses can
be found in the academic calendar on the inside of the cover of this guide and on the website:
www.io.tudelft.nl/osiris.
The lists of participants in courses and electives become available on the IDE Student portal >
Education > Participation lists, 2 weeks before the start of the semester. Check the participation list to
make sure your registration has been processed correctly.
23 | Master Programmes Industrial Design Engineering
4.3
Enrolment for all exams
Also for exams, registration in OSIRIS is necessary. Based on the amount of registrations the exam
rooms are reserved and the exams are printed.
It is the student’s own responsibility to register for exams!
Registration deadlines for examinations
Registration opening: 56 days before the exam concerned.
Last date for registration: 3 days before the exam concerned.
First deadlines for registration for exams can be found in the academic calendar on the inside of the
cover of this guide.
Last withdrawal date: 3 days before the exam concerned.

5 Master in Design for Interaction (DfI)
5.1
DfI profile
The Master in Design for Interaction (MSc DfI) is specialised in analysing, conceptualising, and
designing for human-product interactions. Students of DfI learn that the nature of these interactions
results from an interplay between properties and behaviour of the product, and abilities, goals, and
practices of the user, in relation to the personal and social context of interaction. In this two-year
programme, the emphasis is therefore on understanding human-product interactions, and on
envisioning how these interactions can be supported or enhanced by new products using existing and
emerging technologies.
5.2
Mission
Designers from this Master programme help clients to design innovative and appropriate products
(including also services) by placing the key aspect of human-product interaction, i.e. the way people
use, understand, and experience products, central in the design process.
5.3
Relationships with IDE-Research Programme
DfI works together with the following IDE-Research programme:
• User eXperience (UX)
5.4

6 Master in Integrated Product Design (IPD)
6.1
IPD profile
Integrated Product Design (IPD) focuses on the designing of innovative products for people, also in
the form of product-service combinations, based on balancing the interests of users, industry and
society. It covers the entire design process, starting from a design brief and ending with the complete
product, fit for mass production or small series. Thus the emphasis of the IPD master is on
conceptualisation and embodiment design, where it applies systematic state-of-the-art theories and
methodologies, integrating user and technology aspects as well as business aspects. These aspects
are strongly coupled. The identity of the IPD master lies in exactly these couplings: products can only
be successfully/optimally designed if these aspects are addressed in coherence.
6.2
Mission
Masters of Integrated Product Design help clients to develop/create innovative and appropriate
products and services, from concept to implementation. They master both creative and engineering
knowledge and skills with an international scope.
6.3
Relationships with the IDE-Research Programme
IPD works together with the three applied IDE-Research programmes:
• Healthcare
• Personal Mobility
• Living/Work

7 Master in Strategic Product Design (SPD)
7.1
SPD profile
Students choosing a MSc in SPD will be educated as strategic product developers, that is, designing
conceptual products/services at the strategic level of the company. Therefore, the emphasis of the
MSc is on the strategic front end of the new product development (NPD) process, although strategic
issues of the commercialisation phase will also be addressed. This two-year programme teaches
students how to develop promising product concepts based on insights from the external environment
(market analysis, market and consumer research, trends analysis and future scenarios, environmental
concerns and new technologies) and the wishes and possibilities of the company ((product) strategy,
brand identity, product/brand portfolio, mission/vision, resources). The translation of the chosen
strategic product direction into proposals for product/service concepts (including engineering and
design guidelines and implementation issues) will also be of central concern.
7.2
Mission
Strategic product designers help companies to initiate, create and introduce strategically sound,
sustainable and commercially successful products and services for clients and customers who live and
act in an international competitive environment.
7.3
Relationship with the IDE-Research Programme
SPD works together with the following IDE-Research programme:
• Strategic Design

Teaching and Examination Regulations (TER) 2015-2016
Section 4 – (Component) Examinations and
completing practicals
Article 15a – Number, times and frequency of (component) examinations
1. There are two opportunities in each academic year for sitting written
(component) examinations:
a. at the end of the quartile for the course to which the (component)
examination in question relates,
b. at the end of the following quartile, and for courses in the 4th quartile during
the re-sit period in August.
Notwithstanding the said above, based on educational and/or organizational
reasons, the Director of Education may determine that in another week of the
regarding quartile the opportunity is given to take written exams. Students
involved will be informed by mail and via Blackboard.
2. A student shall in principle have one opportunity each year to complete practicals.
More opportunities shall be possible only if stated in the description of the course
contained in Study Guide. See also article 17.7 of the Rules & Guidelines from the
Board of Examiners.
3. Yearly a (preliminary) timetable of all the opportunities for sitting written
(component) examinations is drawn up. At the latest before the start of each
semester, the timetable is distributed. Examinations are taken in principle on a
working day. The times and dates referred to in this clause shall be determined
with a view to avoiding simultaneous (component) examinations as far as
possible. Examinations of two successive academic years shall not be conducted
simultaneously. A time or date within the meaning of this clause shall not be
changed except in the case of force majeure or changes approved by the Board
of Examiners. Students will be informed per e-mail in case of such a change. Also
a message will appear in Blackboard.
4. If an examinee must submit practical work (e.g. a portfolio) for marking, the time
of submission shall be made known at the start of the course or practical
concerned. The examiner may decide not to mark practical work not submitted by
the prescribed time.
5. Oral examinations shall take place at a time determined by the examiner, if
possible after consulting with the examinee.
6. The provisions of clause 3, 4 and 5 shall apply mutatis mutandis to (component)
examinations conducted other way than in writing, orally or by submitting
practical work.
7. If there is no indication as to the number of times a particular (component)
examination can be taken in any one academic year because it relates to a course
not taught by the programme itself, the relevant stipulations in the Teaching and
Examination Regulations of the other programme will apply. The Board of
Examiners reserves the right to make decisions that deviate from the norm
regarding this matter.
8. In exceptional cases, the Board of Examiners may permit a deviation from the
standard number of times that certain (component) examinations can be taken
and practicals can be completed, based on an individual request of a student.
13 | Master Programmes Industrial Design Engineering
Teaching and Examination Regulations (TER) 2015-2016
Article 15b – Sequence of examinations
Provisions on the sequence in which students are required to sit (component)
examinations and participate in courses are laid down in the Implementation
Regulations 2015-2016, article 17.
Article 16a - Registering for written examinations
1. Registration to take part in a written examination is done by entering the required
data into the examination registration system no later than 14 calendar days (that
is, not working days) before the examination. The student will receive a
confirmation as per e-mail (examination ticket).
2. Students may submit a request to register for an examination after the deadline
mentioned in clause 1 has passed but no later than 3 calendar days before the
examination in question, at the central examination desk. The request will be
honoured providing that seats are available in the room or rooms where the
examination is scheduled to take place. The student will receive a confirmation as
per e-mail (examination ticket).
3. In the case of circumstances beyond a student’s control, whereby the student is
unable to register for the examination, the Board of Examiners can still permit the
student to participate in the examination.
4. The following applies upon entering the examination room:
a. only students with valid proof of identity will be admitted to the
examination. The following will be accepted as proof of identity: campus
card, passport, identity card or driving licence.
b. students will only be admitted to the examination with a valid examination
ticket and/or if they are included in the list of participants.
5. A students who has not registered for the examination and is therefore not
included on the list of participants may report to the invigilator on the day of the
examination from 15 minutes before until the start of the examination. In so far
as seats are available, students will be admitted to the examination room half an
hour after the start of the examination in the order they reported to the
invigilator. The lack of half an hour examination time cannot be compensated.
Students who have thus gained access to the exam will be added to the list of
participants. The student takes the exam, subject to the reservation that it will be
investigated whether he/she is entitled to participate in the examination.
6. In case the investigation leads to the conclusion that the student was not entitled
to participate in the examination, the examination work is invalid, will not be
evaluated and does not lead to a result.
7. The student can submit a substantiated request to the Board of Examiners to
have examination work that is considered to be invalid to be declared valid and to
have it assessed.
8. The Board of Examiners will only agree to the request as said in clause 7 in
exceptional circumstances.
Article 16b - Withdrawal or absence from written examinations
1. It will be possible to withdraw from an examination via the examination
registration system up to 3 calendar days before the examination takes place.
2. Any student who has withdrawn from an examination should re-register on a
subsequent occasion, in accordance with the provisions of Article 16.
14 | Master Programmes Industrial Design Engineering
Teaching and Examination Regulations (TER) 2015-2016
Article 17 – Validity of examinations
1. The result of an examination is valid for an unlimited period. However, in cases
where the examination result dates from over four years ago, the Board of
Examiners may impose an additional or substitute examination.
2. The terms of clause 1 likewise apply to component examinations, unless is stated
differently.
3. For the courses in the master programme Integrated Product Design following
clauses a and b are applicable:
a. The result of a summative assessment of a course is valid for the academic
year the student follows the course concerned. If a student does not achieve a
sufficient result for the course concerned in the academic year that he started
it, then basically all results expire for summative assessments of the course
that have been achieved, see also clause b.
b. If in any academic year one or more components of a course at the discretion
of the examiner to content and/or form are unchanged from the previous
academic year, the validity of the result of the component in which a student
in the previous academic year has achieved a sufficient result (at least 6.0 or
V), will be extended until the end of that academic year. The extension of the
validity takes place only once.
Article 18 – The form of examination and method of assessment
1. (Component) examinations are set as described in the Implementation
Regulations, with reference to Study Guide.
2. The Board of Examiners may deviate from the provisions of clause 1 of this
article, in favour of the student.

examinations will be held in public and by two examiners preferably.
3. Prior to an oral (component) examination, the examiner must ask the student to
provide proof of identity.
Article 20 – Determining and announcing the results
1. The examiner is required to determine the result of an oral (component)
examination as soon as it is finished and to supply the student with a written
statement of the result. The examiner registers the result in Osiris within 15
working days. The student administration (SSC-O&S) then ensures that the
results are registered and published within 16 working days of the examination
date in Osiris. The registration date of the result of the oral examination is the
date of sitting the examination.
2. In the case of written (component) examinations, the examiner is required to
determine the result as soon as possible after the (component) examination but
within 15 working days at most. The examiner registers the result in Osiris within
15 working days. The student administration (SSC-O&S) then ensures that the

8.
results are registered and published within 16 working days of the examination
date in Osiris. The registration date of the result of the written examination is the
date of sitting the examination.
The examiner shall determine the result of a practical as soon as possible and in
all instances within 15 working days of the end of the practical, providing that the
student has handed in the works of his practical on the date set before the start
of the course. The examiner registers the result in Osiris within 15 working days.
The student administration (SSC-O&S) then ensures that the results are
registered and published within 16 working days of the examination date in
Osiris. The registration date of the result of the practical is the date of handing in
the works of the practical.
In the event that within a course consecutive summative (component)
examinations have to be taken and the knowledge gained within a previous
(component) examination is important for being able to take a subsequent
(component) examination, the examiner shall determine the result of the previous
(component) examination prior to the subsequent (component) examination.
Should this not be possible, then the examiner shall on time execute a debriefing
about the previous (component) examination.
If the result of a component examination or practical is not to be registered in the
registration system, the examiner publishes the results on the Blackboard site of
the course within 15 working days.
Publishing the results will always happen taking due account of the student’s
privacy.
If the examiner is not able to meet the requirements stated in this Article, due to
exceptional circumstances, he or she must inform the Board of Examiners, stating
the reasons for the delay. The examiner will then inform the students and the
student administration (SSC-O&S).
When receiving the result of an (component) examination or practical, the
student will be made aware of his or her right to inspect the results as referred to
in Article 21, as well as the opportunity to lodge an appeal with the Committee of
Appeals for the Examinations.
A student who appeals against the marking of a practical shall leave the work
pieces in the custody of the examiner or surrender them to the examiner without
delay.
Article 21 – The right to inspect the results
1. For a period of at least 20 working days after notification of the results of any
written (component) examination or practical, the student has the right to inspect
his marked work, on request. If a student intends to lodge an appeal regarding
the marking of his work, he will on his request be supplied with a copy of the
marked work.
2. During the period referred to in clause 1, student who sat the exam may acquaint
themselves with the questions and assignments set in the examination, as well as
with the criteria used for marking.
3. The Board of Examiners may determine that the right to inspection or perusal
referred to in clauses 1 and 2 will take place at a location specified beforehand
and at no less than two specific times, also decided on beforehand.
16 | Master Programmes Industrial Design Engineering
Teaching and Examination Regulations (TER) 2015-2016
4. If the student can prove that he is or was unable to be present at the location at
the set time due to circumstances beyond his control, then another opportunity
will be provided, if possible within the period stated in clause 1. The location and
times mentioned in the first sentence will be announced well in advance.
Article 22 – Discussing the examination results
1. As soon as possible after the results of an oral examination have been
announced, an opportunity can be arranged for the examiner to discuss the
results with the student, either at the student’s request or at the instigation of the
examiner. At this meeting, the reasons behind the marks awarded will be
explained.
2. For a period of 20 working days after the results have been announced, students
who have taken a written (component) examination or handed in the works of a
practical may submit a request to discuss the results with the relevant examiner.
The discussion will take place within a proper time span and at a place and time
determined by the examiner.
3. In cases where a collective discussion is organised by or on the instructions of the
Board of Examiners, a student may only submit a request, as described in the
preceding clause, if he was present at the collective discussion and if he provides
a good reason for the request or if, due to circumstances beyond his control, he
was unable to attend the collective discussion.
4. The provisions of clause 3 are similarly applicable if either the Board of Examiners
or the examiner first gives the student the opportunity to compare his answers
with model answers.
5. The Board of Examiners may permit deviations from the provisions of clauses 2
and 3 of this article.
Section 5 – Studying with a disability
Article 23 – Adaptations to help students with a disability
1. Students who have a physical or sensory disability are entitled to adaptations in
teaching, examinations and practicals, on written request. These changes will be
geared as much as possible to a student’s individual needs, but they must not
affect the quality or the degree of difficulty of a course, practical or a programme.
The facilities provided to this end may involve adapting the form or duration of
examinations and/or practicals to the student’s individual situation or making
practical aids available. Examples of adaptations can be found in Appendix 6 to
the Implementation Regulations 2015-2016.
2. The request as said in clause 1 must be accompanied by a valid medical
certificate from a doctor or a psychologist. If case of dyslexia, the request should
be accompanied by a document issued by a recognised dyslexia-testing bureau
(i.e. registered with BIG, NIP, or NVO). If possible, this certificate should also
estimate the extent to which the disability forms an obstacle to study progress.
3. Requests for the adaptation of teaching facilities will be decided upon by the
Director of Education. The Board of Examiners will decide on requests for
adaptations to examinations. The student involved sends a request to
[email protected] after consulting the student counsellor.

5. If the marks are rounded off to half and whole figures, three-tenths, four-tenths,
eight-tenths and nine-tenths will be rounded up and one-tenth, two-tenths, sixtenths and seven-tenths will be rounded down.
6. If a course consists of more than one component, the course overview in Study
Guide will indicate how the final mark will be determined. The following provisions
apply in this respect:
a. The marks of the different components of a course may be expressed in one or
more decimal figures. Marks for components are not to be rounded off.
b. A result for a component examination may be included in the determination of
the final mark only if it is expressed in a numerical value and equals at least
5.0.
c. The marks of the different components of a course can mutually compensate
for each other.
d. The mark of a component of a course which is not expressed in a numerical
value shall equal at least a V (voldoende = pass).
7. With a view to upgrading a mark, the examiner may set a compensatory
assignment insofar as the nature of the course or practical allows this.
8. A student passes for a course if the weighed average of the marks of the
components equals 6,0 or higher and the components which are not expressed in
numerical values equal at least a V (voldoende = pass).
9. Final marks that are earned in another degree programme at this or another Dutch
university will be adopted as they have been given, as a whole figure or half figure
or as a decimal figure. The meaning that the other degree programme attributes to
those marks will also be adopted. The provisions contained in Article 31 apply to
final marks that are earned abroad.
10. If more than one result is earned for a course, the highest result that has been
earned will be included in the assessment of the examination.

completed.
3. If a course consists of components and the results are not to be registered in
Osiris, the examiner will publish the results on Blackboard.
4. The examiner may lay down further rules with respect to the final date on which a
practical may be completed. Such rules must be indicated in the course description
in Study Guide and must be announced at the start of the course, e.g. on
Blackboard.
Article 19 – Dating of examinations
1. The date of an examination will be the date on which the written examination has
been held or the oral examination has been taken.
