Exam: Photovoltaic (PV) Technologies

Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is the Netherlands' leading technical university, founded in 1842 and located in the historic city of Delft. Renowned for engineering, technology and applied sciences, TU Delft combines rigorous academics with a strong culture of innovation. With 145 degree programs across bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral levels, the university attracts ambitious students worldwide seeking hands-on, research-led training and modern laboratory facilities.

The university is especially strong in sustainable energy, water management, urban planning and mobility, and is an active member of European research networks such as CESAER and the IDEA League. Interdisciplinary laboratories, maker spaces and industry partnerships give students access to real projects, from prototype development to city-scale simulations. Many programs are offered in English and include international exchange, internships and entrepreneurship support to help translate research into practice.

Student life in Delft blends historic town life with a vibrant campus community: student associations, design teams and start-up incubators help convert classroom ideas into careers. Career services maintain close ties with European employers, supporting internships and graduate recruitment across sectors. Prospective international students should prepare a strong academic record, a concise portfolio for design or engineering programs where required, and check scholarship and visa guidance early to make the most of TU Delft’s practical, globally connected education.

This exam focuses on photovoltaic technologies and is open to students of all levels. It's a non-degree program that takes one week to complete and is taught in English. The program provides students with a solid understanding of photovoltaic technologies and their applications.

The curriculum covers subjects like photovoltaic cell design and solar panel installation. Students will develop skills in areas such as energy efficiency and system performance analysis. The program includes practical exercises to help students apply their knowledge in real-world contexts.

After completing this program, students can pursue careers such as PV System Installer, Solar Panel Technician, or Renewable Energy Engineer. They can work in industries like manufacturing, installation, or maintenance, and for employers such as solar panel manufacturers, energy companies, or construction firms.
