Enrolment

Generally, enrolment into your course takes place during the TU/e Introduction Program. You enrol for one academic year at a time, 1st September to 31st August. You should try to make sure you have enrolled before the academic year begins. You will receive all of the information regarding enrolment in May, along with the other information packages giving you practical advice and guides about coming to TU/e as an international student.

TU/e Introduction Program (TIP)

TIP is a compulsory program for all new international students. It provides you with a lot of information about moving in and living in the Netherlands and Eindhoven as an international student, as well as information about your studies. There are many events planned that will help you with this, as well as give you a great opportunity to meet new people and start making friends. Many students state that they found the TIP to be incredibly valuable in clarifying and helping to make easier the whole process of moving to the Netherlands and starting studies.

The TIP includes:

• Help with insurance, opening a bank account, and enrolling at the TU/e;
• A chance to meet all kinds of student associations and societies, and to get a student’s introduction to both campus and the city center of Eindhoven
• A Dutch language introduction workshop;
• An introduction to your faculty, with information on your academic program, research activities and procedures and rules.

The TIP typically starts in the middle of August, around the 15th, and runs for two full weeks. The TU/e advises to arrange to arrive in Eindhoven a week before the TIP or at the latest, during the weekend before the TIP starts. You can confirm your participation through your confirmation email.
