Campus & outcomes
Class size, graduation and freshman retention rates, sticker tuition vs. what students actually pay after aid, how many receive it, post-graduation employment, research output, and a few real, commonly-cited top recruiters. Everything except ratio and enrollment is US-specific or approximate — papers/year and top employers in particular are rounded/illustrative, not exhaustive or precise database exports. Earnings figures and what they imply against cost are in their own section below.
Studying in Netherlands as an international student
Two-tier fees: a government-set statutory fee for EU/EEA students, and a much higher institutional fee for everyone else. These are country-level figures for a typical bachelor's at a public university (2025–26 academic year) — not a quote for this university, which sets its own fees.
- Who pays less
- EU/EEA students pay the statutory rate, roughly €2,600 a year.
- Post-study work rights
- One-year 'orientation year' (zoekjaar) permit to find work.
- Funding routes
- Holland Scholarship; NL-Scholarship; university excellence awards.
Graduate & professional schools
TU Delft has 1 ranked professional programme. These admit separately from the university and are ranked separately from it — a band here says nothing about the university's overall position above, or the reverse (2025–26 rankings cycle).
