Students who are nominated for an exchange semester at TU/e by the exchange coordinator of their home institution will receive a login link to the online application form from the departmental exchange coordinator at TU/e. Please contact the exchange coordinator of your home institution first, if you are interested in a semester abroad at our department.
Your application will be managed from start to finish in our online registration system Mobility Online. All the required steps, documents, and requests for services we offer are integrated in this system. For example:
- Download forms and upload required documents in Mobility Online, such as a learning agreement, proof of your English language proficiency level, your transcript of records and ID card or passport.
- Via the system you can inform us if you would like to make use of certain services related to visa procedures, accommodation and insurances.
You can find further practical information regarding an exchange on the pages of TU/e’s international office. To get a good idea of what you can learn during your stay at Industrial Design, we advise you to thoroughly read the information on our external website and this Online Education Guide. Below you can find some additional information about the application process at the Department of Industrial Design.
Learning agreement
Your application includes a learning agreement in which you propose a study program for your exchange semester. We need this for administrative purposes. Please note that a signed learning agreement is not a definite approval of the courses and project.
When looking at the offer of elective courses for exchange students please note that a semester is divided into two quarters. Q1 and Q2 are part of Semester A (Fall - intake in September) and Q3 and Q4 are part of Semester B (Spring - intake in February). You are required to participate in three electives.
The learning agreement for the master exchange program must contain:
- DPM115 Project 1 Design
- 3 elective courses
Preference form and course registration
After you have been accepted as an exchange student, you will receive an e-mail from our Center for Student Administration (CSA) confirming the courses you will be registered for and asking you to fill out a preference form for the project. You can give two preferences and a short motivation. Preferences in forms submitted after the deadline cannot be considered and you will be allocated to available courses. Before the start of the semester, you can check your course registrations in Osiris.
Be well prepared
We advise you to arrive in Eindhoven before the start of the semester. An introduction day for new students will be planned during the week before the start of the semester.
TU/e's International Office offers a range of services for exchange students. Please read the information thoroughly to ensure you arrive well prepared and make sure you follow up on all necessary paperwork to start your exchange period.
If you have any other questions that cannot be found through this website, you can contact the Exchange coordinator. Her contact information can be found on the Contact page.
