英文导读
Delft University of Technology (Dutch： Technische Universiteit Delft)， also known as TU Delft， is the largest and oldest Dutch public technical university， located in Delft， Netherlands. Delft University of Technology was founded on January 8， 1842 by King William II of the Netherlands as Royal Academy for the education of civilian engineers， for serving both nation and industry， and of apprentices for trade. On June 20， 1864， Royal Academy in Delft was disbanded by a Royal Decree， giving a way to a Polytechnic School of Delft (Politechnische School van Delft). Yet another Act， passed on May 22， 1905， changed the name of the school to Technical College (Institute) of Delft (Technische Hoogeschool Delft， from 1934 Technische Hogeschool Delft)， emphasizing the academic quality of the education. It was an Act which took effect on 1st September， 1986， that officially transformed the Institute of Technology into Delft University of Technology， also known as"TU Delft". Academic year is divided into two semesters： first semester from September until January and second semester from the end of January until July. TU Delft closely cooperates with many educational and research institutes， both in the Netherlands and abroad. The quality of research and teaching is renowned. TU Delft has numerous contacts with governments， trade associations， consultancies， industry and small and medium-sized companies.
System： TU Delft comprises eight faculties including： Aerospace Engineering； Applied Sciences； Architecture； Civil Engineering and Geosciences； Electrical Engineering， Mathematics and Computer Sciences； Industrial Design Engineering； Mechanical， Maritime and Materials Engineering； Technology， Policy and Management. TU Delft students obtain their degree after a three-year study. The test project finalizes the BSc studies. All BSc programmes are taught in Dutch， except for Aerospace Engineering programme， which is taught in Dutch and English. The MSc studies take two years to complete. First year is devoted to theoretical studies， assignments and laboratory work. Second year is dedicated to research work， internships and thesis preparation. Doctoral studies at TU Delft are divided in two phases. First phase， one-year long， serves as a test during which doctoral candidate must prove that he is capable of performing research on a doctoral level. If the candidate passed the evaluation performed by his/her promotor， then during the next three years candidate performs research which must be finalized by submitting a doctoral dissertation.
City show： Delft is a city and municipality in the province of South Holland (Zuid-Holland)， in the Netherlands.
