Not a really meaningful topic, but lately I was interested in studying in Delft because of its prestige and job opportunities. Because of the competitiveness of such a university, I thought that getting in would be quite challenging (I am a civil engineering student in Spain), but I was looking into the list of countries for the minimum grade application and it was surprisingly low; virtually every country had MINIMUM an equivalent of a 7.5/10 (3 GPA equivalent).

This information motivated me to try to apply for a master's in civil engineering in the future, so I would like to ask how competitive the civil engineering master's programs are (I know that AE and MECH are one of the most competitive ones).

. Also, my current average is a 7.4, but I am 100% confident that I can elevate that to an 8 or even further in the future

Hello,

I am a materials engineering undergraduate 1st year student, and it's been years since I was interested in the nuclear industry.

My first year has been a bit of a disaster; I failed 2 courses out of 10 (Algebra and Calculus II), but my GPA remains at 2.5 because, luckily, I did better in other courses.

I am certain I can push that GPA to at least a 2.9+ by the time I finish my degree, but those 2 failed courses (and knowing myself, I don't think I can push it more than a 3.1 or so) look very bad if I try to apply in a future.

To compensate, how could I strengthen my portfolio if I want a career in the nuclear industry?

Also, I am considering taking an Erasmus in my second or third year, because I'm interested in working abroad, and I think it could be good to get familiarised with studying outside.

(I am currently studying at Catalonia's polytechnic university, apparently, it is a solid technical university in the south of europe)

Thank you if you leave me any insights!

Hi, I am a freshman in engineering, and I was wondering if, by general rule, universities exclude you from master's if you have failed a general subject such as Calc II.

I am very certain that for well-regarded universities, it is a guarantee to deny you. What is the general rule?

(Assuming I pass Calc II and not failing any other course again)

Hi, I am a Spanish undergraduate freshman in material engineering, and I am interested in the nuclear sector.

Since i'm not a mech or electrical engineer, I am probably going to work in design (thermal or mechanical stress) or possibly in maintenance in nuclear installations.

The thing is, considering my situation, I would say it is very difficult to go abroad to study nuclear engineering, so the most feasible option is studying nuclear engineering at Catalonia's Polytechnic University.

My concern is that in the long term I would like to work abroad, possibly in the UK, France or Poland, countries I consider have potential to find plenty of work in the next decade/s, so I what I wanted to ask is whether this university might hold me back working abroad because of the mediocre reputation my university has?
