Who it fits
- You want to design physical or digital products and combine design decisions with technology and engineering.
- You are interested in prototyping, experimentation and emerging fields such as AI, sustainable design, smart materials or digital fabrication.
- You can show both people-centred design work and technical depth in your portfolio.
Academic eligibility
- A relevant design or engineering degree. Accepted backgrounds can include industrial, product/service or human-centred design, as well as selected engineering fields.
- Evidence across design, people-centred, technology and engineering, prototyping, communication, research and sustainability competencies.
- IPD is the most technology-oriented of TU Delft's three IDE master's programmes; every application is assessed individually.
Portfolio
- Present 3–5 projects in one PDF of no more than 30 pages and 20 MB; page size must not exceed A4 and landscape is preferred.
- At least one project must show the process, including sketches, iterations, abandoned directions and what changed your thinking.
- At least one project must show technical depth such as CAD, electronics, code, materials or mechanisms, with your own contribution stated clearly.
- Add a short reflection of no more than 100 words to each project: what you would do differently now.
Application procedure
- You may submit only one TU Delft MSc application per academic year, so choose the programme before applying.
- Apply yourself: first register in Studielink, then complete the application in TU Delft’s Osiaan portal.
- All required documents must be received by the deadline. Incomplete applications and documents sent by email or post are not processed.
