Opportunity criteria
The Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands is offering a three-year bachelor's degree program in Computer Science and Engineering for students interested in learning how to develop software and data processing for the intelligent systems of today and the future.
Program Overview
During the Computer Science and Engineering degree program, the student will learn how to develop software and data processing for the intelligent systems of today and the future. That could include; medical systems, security, and perhaps even the new YouTube.
Mathematical analysis and modeling, logical reasoning, programming algorithms, and working with concepts of programming languages are all important here, and so is collaboration. That's why, at least once a year, the student will work on a project with a group of fellow students, designing ‘things’ like an intelligent bot in a computer game.
Admission Requirements
The BA in Computer Science and Engineering is the right degree program for you if you are an inquisitive problem solver and pro-active team worker with a thorough analytical mindset.
To be admitted into the BA of Computer Science and Engineering program, applicants must fulfill the following:
- Having a secondary school diploma; an equivalent to the Dutch pre-university ‘VWO’ diploma.
- The mathematics course “Analysis & Approaches HL” is a required subject for students with the international baccalaureate.
English Language Requirements
- A TOEFL iBT with an overall band score of at least 90. TU Delft does not accept TOEFL MyBest scores; the required scores should be obtained in one single test.
- IELTS (academic version) with an overall band score of at least 6.5
- Cambridge Assessment English. Only the following certificates are accepted:
- C1 Advanced (Certificate of Advanced English) with an overall score of at least 176.
- C2 Proficiency (Certificate of Proficiency in English) with an overall score of at least 180.
Course Structure
The Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering is a three-year program consisting of 180 EC with a mix of teaching methods, such as lectures, instruction, projects, and self-study.
The projects help the students to apply their knowledge in a group and experience the practical use of various subjects and how they interrelate. Students will also practice their presentation and reporting skills.
The Computer Science and Engineering degree program consists of six modules:
- Mathematics
- Systems
- Models
- Software
- Data
- Media & AI
Through these modules, students will learn how computers, networks, and embedded systems work. They will study algorithms, addressing questions such as what is arithmetic, what can computers do and what they cannot do, and how can software be presented mathematically.
Students will also work with concepts of various programming languages, study data structures, learn about software quality, how to model complex systems and how users interact with such systems. They will try to solve problems logically.
In the first year, the students will have compulsory courses with theory and laboratory courses (projects). They will be taught programming, reasoning, and logic, computer networks, data management, and mathematics. The second year is built of 75 percent compulsory courses and 25 percent electives. And the third year is mainly some electives and a Research Project.

Third Year
In the first half of the third and final year of the Bachelor’s degree program, students will start with a minor. They can select one from existing minors, such as Finance or Electrical Sustainable Energy Systems, but they can also decide to assemble their combination of courses, do an internship, or study abroad.
The degree program finishes with the Research Project. This project is carried out individually at TU Delft or another university and involves research into a subject related to computer science. For example, this could involve implementing a new algorithm, and the necessary experimental tools to evaluate it against existing alternatives.
Tuition Fees
Tuition fees for international students in the Bachelor of Computer Science and Engineering at the Delft University of Technology are around USD 27,688 per year.
