Keuzegids: Open University best university, TU in twelfth place

According to the Keuzegids Universities 2026 published on Thursday, the Open University’s bachelor’s programmes generally score the highest. TU Delft’s score has changed little compared to previous years.

With a score of 58 points, half a point higher than last year, TU Delft is on a par with Erasmus University. Only the two Amsterdam-based universities receive a lower rating.

In its press release (in Dutch), the Keuzegids uses symbols to indicate how well an institution scores in a particular area. It is striking that TU Delft does not score particularly well in any of the areas. However, one area stands out negatively: earth and environment.

Clinical Technology is Top programme

Only the Clinical Technology programme call call itself a Top Programme in the coming year, the designation awarded by the Keuzegids to the best programmes in the country. Anyone wishing to compare all programmes can purchase the Keuzegids on the website. TU Delft staff and students with a campus licence can view it free of charge.

The Keuzegids is based on the National Student Survey (in Dutch). In this survey, 91,000 university students (approximately one in four) gave their opinion on the content of their programme, the lecturers, the assessment, the atmosphere and the preparation for their career. In addition, the Keuzegids takes into account how many students progress to the second year and how many graduate within four years.
