To help you do this, you will follow a Professional & Personal Development (P&PD) course during your studies.
Started your studies in 2022/2023 or before? This is important for you.
The Bachelor College curriculum is being adjusted. All students starting their bachelor’s program at TU/e after September 1, 2023, will follow the new curriculum. The degree to which the curriculum will change will vary by program. In some programs, a lot will change; in other programs, the changes will be smaller.
If you started your bachelor’s program before September 1, 2023, you will continue your program according to the current curriculum. If you are or will be delayed in your studies, a transitional arrangement will usually apply.
You can find the complete transitional arrangement here:
