University Corporate Office - Education & Student Affairs

‘Educate the World and enhance the quality of TU Delft campus and online education’. This is the mission of the TU Delft Extension School for Continuing Education. A mission that has been determining in all thinking and acting within our innovation-oriented educational organisation since its foundation in 2014.

We focus on online university further education. Along with external partners and the faculties of TU Delft, we develop and provide courses and short programs for external target groups. Think of international students with a Bachelor's or Master's degree, who want to develop further through online education. And to people who have been in the labour process for a while and want to brush up on their skills. Upon completion, our students receive an officially (accredited) certificate for the educational module(s) they have taken.

The Extension School has recently become an independent organisation within TU Delft. Our management team reports directly to the Executive Board. We work with about thirty colleagues from our own office on the university campus. An international team with expert and passionate employees with more than ten different nationalities. Our culture is therefore very diverse!
