About Delft University of Technology
TU Delft is the Netherlands' largest and highest-ranked technical university, globally recognized for engineering, architecture, and applied sciences.
Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is the largest technical university in the Netherlands, founded in 1842. It enrolls approximately 27,000 students across eight faculties, with international students making up around 35% of the student body. The university focuses exclusively on engineering, design, and applied sciences.
TU Delft is strongest in civil and structural engineering, aerospace engineering, electrical engineering, architecture, computer science, and water management. Its faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences is among Europe's most respected, and the university runs programs in English at both bachelor and master level, including bachelor programs in Computer Science and Engineering and Aerospace Engineering taught entirely in English.
The campus is located in Delft, a mid-sized city in South Holland, approximately 15 minutes by train from The Hague and 30 minutes from Rotterdam. The campus is a self-contained urban precinct with research labs, student housing, and facilities within walking distance. The Netherlands has a long tradition of international openness, and Delft functions as a major hub for technology-sector employment in Europe.

For Nepali students
- TU Delft's engineering and water management programs are directly relevant to Nepal's infrastructure and development needs; a TU Delft degree carries strong recognition among international development organizations and engineering employers globally.
- International students (including Nepali nationals) are eligible for the TU Delft Excellence Scholarship and targeted MSc scholarships for students from South Asia in programs such as Management of Technology and Engineering and Policy Analysis, the university explicitly lists South Asia as an eligible region.
- After graduating, non-EU students including Nepalis can apply for the Netherlands Orientation Year permit (zoekjaar), which grants 12 months of unrestricted access to the Dutch labour market to find work or start a business, making the post-study transition more viable than in many competing destinations.
- Annual international undergraduate tuition is approximately €17,310 (around $19,000 USD), higher than some Asian destinations but lower than equivalent-ranked universities in the US or UK, and the Netherlands has relatively affordable student housing and living costs compared to other Western European capitals.
