Our campus
Daily, about 27.000 people travel across our campus: students, scientists, visitors, and employees of the university and the companies on campus. Stretching over 161 hectares, the campus is larger than downtown Delft, and one of the largest university campuses in the world.
The campus has been equipped with an extensive bicycle and pedestrian road network. The TU Delft campus has a green, parky character. Large parts of the campus are therefore only accessible on foot, by bike, or public transport. For motorists there is the campus ring road, which circles the entire campus. Clear signage on the campus ring guides you easily to the central parking lots. From there, every destination is reachable on foot.

Delft and surroundings
Living in Delft is a bit like being on a permanent holiday, or so our inter- nationals sometimes describe it. It must be the picturesque city center with its many historic buildings, its canals and its beautiful market square that do it. History is never far away in Delft. As nostalgic and charming as Delft’s city center can be, as forward-looking and high-tech are its surrounding districts.
At the heart of everything
You couldn’t be more centrally located than in the City of Delft. It’s situated in the Randstad, the metropolitan and industrial conurbation between Amsterdam, Utrecht and the Hague that houses some 7.5 million people.
Excellent train connections will get you from Delft right into most Dutch city centres, as well as to the outskirts of the country. An hour or two by plane – from nearby Rotterdam/ the Hague or Amsterdam Schiphol airports – will find you in many of Europe’s major cities, like London, Paris or Milan. Nearby Delft are the cities of Rotterdam and Leiden, home to the Erasmus and Leiden Universities and their medical centres. Together we form a strategic alliance where- in we closely cooperate on science and education, including a number of joint study programmes.
