Welcome events

Welcome to Delft event

On behalf of the TU Delft and the City of Delft ACCESS has been organising  ‘Welcome to Delft’ events  for new and recently arrived internationals in Delft. These events are free of charge, but pre-registration is required. We have been doing these sessions since 2017, and are delighted that it has been rated as ‘excellent’ and ‘very good’ by 90% of participants since then.

Should you wish to be informed, when a new date – in 2026 is set – kindly complete this form.

There is no better way, to get settled, than to hear some tips & tricks, have a chance to ask some general questions, and, meet others in a similar situation. For this reason, the TU Delft and the City have asked ACCESS to plan and manage a ‘Welcome to Delft’ session.

Testimonials have been:

“Thank you so much for wonderful event.”

“I can’t think of any (missing topics). All the topics I had in my mind were covered.”
