Onderwerp: some questions about admission for the coming year

dear sir/madam,

I am a student in my MSc2 now. Some of my friends in my country (I come from Taiwan) contacted me and asked about the admission for the next academic year. They've sent out their applications to TUDelft, and some of them confirmed that their applications were delivered to Faculty of Architecture already. Just want to ask if the procedure will be continued? (For those who already got their admission letters, those who are still waiting for the results, and those who maybe want to apply in the future.) They're quite worried about the situation, because their documents may be destroyed in the fire as well. Will the faculty will accept new students for the coming year? If yes, for those whose documents were destroyed already, will they have any chance to re-apply within new deadline? Furthermore, for some people who got the admission letters already, they applied for more than one schools at the same time, and now is almost the time to make a decision. If TU Delft won't accept new students for the coming year, they need to reply to other schools as soon as possible. The situation is a bit urgent for them... Thank you very much. And looking forward to hear from you soon.

best regards,
Wan-Yu Liu


Dear Yu Liu, (...... 亞洲人的姓/名有這麼難分嗎......)

All the students that applied at TU Delft and were admitted, were put on the waiting list or were still in the process of being evaluated have received a letter in which we explain the situation and tell them what they need to do.
We will continue to admit students as usual and we can assure that the quality of our education will be as good as always.

Attached I send you a copy of the general letter which was sent. Some applicants may have received a letter with additional information about how to resend their portfolios if it got lost.

I hope this answers your questions. Should any of your friends be in doubt about his or her personal application, please state name and MSc number (if known) so that we can look into the problem.

Best regards,

Madeleine de Morree

Dear student,

As you may have heard in various news broadcasts, the Faculty of Architecture at Delft University of Technology was destroyed in a serious fire on Tuesday May 13. Although this is unfortunate, we are very glad that no personal injuries have occurred. Also we have been able to save valuable collections of scale models and chairs by famous architects such as Rietveld.

Thanks to the help of numerous colleagues and relations in the field of education, architecture and business, our education, research and examination activities will be continued as from next Monday. Lecture rooms, instruction rooms and offices have partly been found at other faculties. Also large tents have been erected to house our teaching activities during the last few weeks of the spring term. We are confident that we will close this academic year without any delays.

The academic year 2008-2009 will start in September, as planned, both for our Dutch and our international students. We can assure you that the quality of our education will be of the high standards that characterize our faculty.

We can assure you that we will find alternative accommodation for our faculty within two weeks.

Our international office staff have been allocated new offices already and they have resumed work since Wednesday. In principle all our procedures and deadlines will be applied as planned. Should anything out of the ordinary arise concerning your specific situation, we will inform you individually by email.

You can reach us as usual:

Address: Jaffalaan 9A, 2628 BX Delft, The Netherlands

We hope we have sufficiently informed you. Should you have any questions, please contact us at int.office@bk.tudelft.nl. or read the latest news on www.bk.tudelft.nl
