For students
At D.S.A. Kalman, we aim to foster a welcoming and connected community within DCSC by organizing a variety of social events throughout the academic year. From social drinks, barbecues, pub quizzes, and community dinners to alumni meet-ups and outdoor activities, our events provide opportunities for students, PhD candidates, staff, and alumni to relax and connect beyond the classroom. Every academic year, we also organize a Study Tour giving students the chance to spend two to three weeks abroad visiting universities, research institutes, and companies while exploring new cultures and creating unforgettable memories with their fellow students.
Beyond social activities, we represent the interests of DCSC students and serve as the link between students, faculty, and the administration. Through regular student feedback, discussions with the student body, and our participation in the Board of Studies meetings, we communicate students’ experiences, suggestions, and concerns to help improve the quality of the programme. By ensuring that students’ voices are heard and by keeping the community informed, we contribute to maintaining a high-quality educational experience for everyone at DCSC.
For businesses
D.S.A. Kalman actively pursuits activities related to business relations. Our major events are the yearly Control Career Fair and the Start-up Drinks. With these events we manage to bring companies with a need for some of the brightest Master’s students at TU Delft into contact with our fellow Systems & Control students. At these events, students have the opportunity to find either short or long term internships, graduation projects, and even job opportunities. You can find out more about the Control Career Fair here.
Besides these two major events, we organize lectures, workshops, in-house days, case studies, and more in collaboration with our partners and the international office of the TU Delft. Our aim is to bring our students into contact with exciting companies that offer real challenges for them to crack! Want to get involved? Find out more here.
