397 students have already applied to join the 2002-2004 Master of Science programmes.As of February 15th, the Student Service Center’s Admissions Office had received 397 applications for MSC programmes, a 56 percent increase over last year’s 255 applications.
At the close of the application period last July, five hundred applications had been received. Ultimately, 136 MSc students began their studies in Delft in September 2001.
Electrical Engineering has received the most applications thus far (87 applications), followed by Systems Engineering, Policy Analysis and Management (85 applications).
Dr. Annemarie Rima, head of the MSc office, believes the increase is partly due to the growing numbers of self-financing students. Additionally, Delft’s English-language education is more widely known among students at foreign universities than it was four years ago. This is partly owing to the good work of Nuffic, the Netherlands Organization for International Cooperation in Higher Education. “Nuffic does a lot work abroad, helping to attract students to Holland and TU Delft,” says Rima. “For example, Chinese students, who used to automatically apply to English-speaking countries, now know that TU Delft offers courses in English.”
Rima isn’t surprised by the increasing interest: “Only one-third pass our selection process, and of these students, only half will eventually study in Delft. For 2002, I expect 150 students.” .aut Ingrid Leeuwangh
