Curriculum start year 2023/2024

This image shows your curriculum for this academic year. You can find the different curricula for each generation of students on the Forms and Files page. For more information on the different types of courses, check out the information pages on this education guide.

For first year students: keep in mind the Binding Study Recommendation (BSR). Without a positive BSR you cannot continue your study at TU/e Industrial Design. After having received a positive BSR at the end of your first year, you can continue your program. In case you did not pass one or more courses, you might need to change the planning of your curriculum. You can always contact your Academic advisor to discuss your situation. 

You will need to make choices when defining your own curriculum. 

You need to choose your own the themes or squads of your projects and your electives. You are guided in this choice process by your student mentor and by your PI&V / Teacher Coach. During the learning line you will also work on developing your professional identity and vision, which play a huge part in your motivation for how you plan your study program. Your Personal Development Plan will also guide you in your program planning, as it helps give it direction. 

When planning your courses it is important to take into account that they are taught in specific timeslots. In the PlanApp you can also plan your courses and make sure their timeslots do not overlap. My TimeTable is also useful to assist you in your planning; you can find your own timetable there. 

Each quartile or semester you need to register for all courses, electives, projects and examination moments yourself. For the registration deadlines, check the Year Planning op Forms and Files page. Make sure to register well in time as some courses have a maximum capacity. In case a course is full you can ask CSA ID to be put on a waiting list in case a spot opens up.  

Projects, including the Final Bachelor Project have different registration deadlines and procedures. Check the project pages to find out more. The External Learning Activity in the third year also has different procedures, depending on the activity that you choose. Check these pages to find out more. CSA ID registers you for the Professional Identity and Vision learning line throughout the years. 

The TU/e uses an Administrative Costs Regulation for all courses in Bachelor College. If you do not enroll for (a) course(s) before the quarter before the regular registration deadline, you have the option to pay administrative costs. A fee of €20,- will be charged for each course enrolment after the deadline. 

Studium Generale (SG) promotes the social, intellectual and cultural interests of students. Together with students, SG organizes lectures, discussions, concerts, exhibitions, excursions, theater and film performances and workshops for students. SG also has the task of strengthening the cultural role of the university in the city and the region, and of supporting and promoting student amateur art. 

Participating in at least five Studium Generale activities marked with an ITEC-logo is part of the ITEC trajectory and thus an mandatory part of your bachelor’s program. You can sign up at Studium Generale to participate in these activities. SG will register these activities when you visit them. The trajectory is successfully completed when you have participated in at least five activities before the end of your Bachelor program. Of course, you are welcome to join in more SG activities in the meantime. These are social, intellectual activities and a way of broadening your cultural interests. 

Check the number of completed SG lectures and more information about this through this page.
