Housing
Accommodation at each university will be arranged or assisted through the corresponding university. Still, accommodation cannot be guaranteed at all three university locations.
Note that there is usually a shortage of suitable accommodation in Delft. Housing should be reserved as soon as possible. Please carefully read the information in the link above. Note also that the housing options are limited in Aachen.
Student resources
Students are informed well in advance before beginning the programme and when moving from one partner university to the other about logistics and practicalities such as how to arrange housing. In cases of questions, the international student offices at the three partner universities provide support.
