Preparatory courses
Is it important that all students enrolled in the (regular or research) MSc Water and Sustainable Development programme are capable of following the course and completing assignments, based on their existing background knowledge. To enable students to bring their knowledge to a sufficient level, if necessary, a set of preparatory eLearning courses are made available. The topics relate to the entry level needed to be able to follow the content dealt with in the modules.
Relevant bachelor degrees and preparatory courses
We strongly advise you to review the courses for your preferred track and profile. If possible, complete the diagnostic tests, as this will allow your coach to guide you better in your choice of modules.
After IHE Delft has received financial confirmation (through scholarship or other funding), you will interact with a coach to explore which individual study trajectory best fits your learning ambitions.
Depending on your background and your preferred track and profile, one or more preparatory courses are relevant. You can self-assess your knowledge via diagnostic tests. These test results are shared with your coach and inform the process of selecting a study trajectory.
