During HBO

An HBO Bachelor’s degree does not qualify you for direct admission to a TU Delft Master’s degree programme. To start a Master’s degree programme, you will first need to complete a supplementary programme in order to bring your knowledge to the required level. You can do this during your HBO programme by completing a bridging minor (advantage: no study delay!), or by means of a bridging programme after securing your HBO diploma.

The bridging minor is offered at the participating HBO institutions only. Depending on the Master’s degree programme, you may, in addition to these 30 ECTS, also need to include certain subjects in the Master’s degree programme as part of your electives; these subjects are known as ‘catch-up courses’ (homologatievakken, in Dutch). This total package of subjects will then be equivalent to a bridging programme. The content of bridging minors and bridging programmes therefore varies according to the different Master’s programmes. Details can be found via the Master’s pages.

Entrance requirements for mathematics and English apply for both the bridging minor and the bridging programme. See the admission requirements section for further information.
