@@yurichtube1162 hi if you visit the university's official website they have the course and i would like to ask you if you are applying for september 2024 intake and if you would be up sharing some insights
For a maybe more updated overview (from a first-year student in 2023-2024): Quarter 1 (easy quarter): *Object Oriented programming* - quite easy, just the basics of programming. My tip is: as soon as you know you're accepted, just enroll for the course on brightspace and you can spend the last two weeks of summer vacation going over the whole course (watch the Lectures on Collegerama for example) and you will already know everything for this course before the bachelor even started *Computer Organization* - also relatively easy because of a lot of bonus assignments. Studying for the exam is a bit harder as you will probably have to actually read the book if you did not make a redstone computer in minecraft, but the course is very doable and very well organized. *Reasoning and Logic* - as the name suggests, this is formal logic, not too hard, nice teacher and they have their own book for this which you already used to prepare for the selection test, so you can also just prepare for that in the summer or not, it's very doable Quarter 2 (quite doable, a bit more work): Algorithms and data structures is now moved over to Quarter 3, and the Object Oriented Programming Project (now called Collaborative software engineering project or something) is in Q2 *Object Oriented Programming Project* - Just do your work, and you should pass as long as your team also participates enough. This is a lot of work but not a lot of 'studying'. It's a fun project, you'll get to learn lots of technologies there. *Calculus* - some find this hard, some don't... it's quite up to personal taste. Personally I found it quite doable and not too hard, just do the grasple exercises and you should be good. *Web and Database technologies* - super easy, this is about the basics how databases and web apps work (think about html, css, react, nodejs, expressjs and sql) Quarter 3 (hard, but doable): *Algorithms and Data Structures* - as Ahmet said, this is BY FAR the hardest subject of the first year, if you don't have any background in doing leetcode or some coding puzzles, please prepare for this. Read the book during the course (BEFORE coming to the lecture), and practice a lot as on the exam there's a lot of time pressure and debugging is really not easy. Go to the shared labs, and ask lots of questions. *Linear algebra* - again, as Ahmet said, just do grasple and you should be fine. *Information and Data management* - a continuation of the databases part of Web and Database technologies, quite doable, but it is harder than Web and Database technologies, so do pay attention but it's not super hard. Also try to learn a bit more advanced SQL for this course while doing Web and Database and you should be more than prepared. Quarter 4 (personally I found this an easy/moderate quarter): *Probablility theory and Statistics* - They changed the course a while after this video, so it's way more doable now. The pass rate here is way higher and just overall nice improvements have been made. For this: do your grasple, but it's quite abstract so go to labs and ask your questions there. This is the subject you want to spend most of your time on this quarter *Computer Networks* - The basis of how the internet works. Read the book, and make flashcards as you will learn a billion protocols and they ask about some things on the exam. You have to know them, but be aware that you also do lots of calculations on the exam which you can practice by doing the so called "Tutorials" on brightspace during the labs. It's quite doable but make sure you don't fall behind. *Software Quality and Testing* - as Ahmet said, by far the easiest subject and it is very true that you can study and pass for this course 2 days in advance. You just read the book (as they use a flipped classroom structure for the course, meaning that you have to read the book and theory lectures aren't really worth visiting if you do not have any questions), do the Exam Practice exercises on WebLab (you even might get a sticker for doing all exam practice exercises with 100% spec tests), and you don't have to do more to pass this course (believe me, I didn't start studying 2 days in advance, but 1.5 weeks, I did all the exam practice and got an 8.6 without too much work, it's really easy). I hope this helps newer students. I am aware that I used a lot of terms that might not be immediately known to you, but after the first two weeks you should know what everything here means. Good luck with your first year, and be sure to ask lots of questions throughout the course to the Teaching Assistants at labs! Also maybe some other fun fact: I didn't know how to program before the bachelor, so it is doable, but you will have to ask lots and lots of questions. If you put in the work, you won't be at a (big) disadvantage. It just might take a bit longer to understand a few things as they might be new to you, but if you put in the work, you eventually will get them.
Hey! Ik zit in de 4de vwo. Ik wil informatica studeren op TU delft. Heb je misschien tips voor mij als voorbereiding? Ik denk dat ik dit erg leuk ga vinden dus wat ik nu doe ik vooral voor de lol.
Merhaba Ahmet, Thanks for this helpful video!! My question to you is: Which laptop do you have and if you recommend it for the first year? As I will start my journey in Delft this september I really struggle to find "the one". :)
Hey Ahmet love your videos. Keep up the good work!👍 Maybe upload videos with fellow students from CSE and other bsc's, must have items for TU Delft/CSE students.
Yes. Dunno if you're dutch, but I never programmed before coming to the bachelor of CSE. I do have to work a bit harder than most people but it's doable. If you're willing to take the time for it it's worth it. Do note that ADS will probably be very hard however, and be sure to have a plan B for if you do not pass ADS. Since I'm in Q2 now, I must say so far 5/6 subjects have gone pretty well for me. So it's doable! And always remember that there are resits.
To add to that, I did mathematics A and you need mathematics B to enter the course. If you're an international this doesn't matter much but I have never heard of integrals in high school and am still doing relatively well. It's a bit more work but it's definetly doable if you're willing to spend the time, just don't expect to do any side job during Y1 if you wanna get your BSA (obtaining 45EC out of 60 in year 1)
How did you get in if you didn't even know what integrals were lol, or you mean you had to self-study? I'm also Dutch and the exercises they provided to prepare for the CST seem harder than VWO Wiskunde B, so I'm curious how you did! (ranking or z-score)@@maxispeeltspellen4892
Yes for sure, but during second year, you are going to run into issues with the Computer Graphics course where you will need to use a virtual machine. Its doable but not optimal. But for first year, you should be perfectly fine!
@@milescothran4560 It should be fine but I had friends struggle with Virtual Machines on their Macbook Pro 16 Inch M1. Its personal preference really, its just for one course so you should be fine.
It depends on which track you choose in second year. I personally chose the Data track, so I was more data oriented, but you can choose the Systems track, in which you go more into the hardware of computers. I'm not too sure if you learn how to build a computer with parts but I am pretty sure you get into the hardware and build a robot etc.
Hi! I'm a spanish student and i was wondering if the CSE selection test was done via the internet as i'm not from the netherlands or if it was necessary to travel to the university to take the test?
Hey! I am not too sure, as far as I know, there is a limited number of people that can do it from the internet, and the rest have to do it in the Netherlands. At least it was like this in 2020, so please check TU Delft’s website for the most up to date information!
Hi Ahmet! I have a question. Is the BSc Computer Science and Engineering degree still considered a Computer Science degree but with more stuff about the practical(engineering) side of computers? I mean am I still considered a computer scientist if I take this bachelor, while also having knowledge about computer engineering too?
Yes of course, just look at the curriculum. The Engineering part isn't that much, it is still mostly technical (theoretical) CS. Computer Scientist is not a protected term btw, so your question about if you'd be considered a Computer Scientist doesn't make much sense. You can be considered a Computer Scientist if you self-study with no degree, so why would just the word "Engineering" in "Computer Science & Engineering" make you disqualified to be a Computer Scientist lol
Hey! I am also studying on IBDP - I want to enter TU Delft as well. But I confused about IB result which I need to have to enter this particular university. Maybe you know where I may look at the list of students who have entered BSc Computer Science and engineering and their results. Thank you!
@@AhmetHDonmez HL in maths is declared when in IB? I'm in myp4, entering five and I qualified for HL last year in MYP3. Also, I've been interested in programming since five, im 15 now and I've done programming my whole life Im well aware of the logics of computers, how everything works and Im diverse in basically every language, does this up my chance to get into Delft?
@@iamhrzn8396When you get to IB after you finish myp it's mandatory to make maths. You have a choice between Math AA or AI and a choice between SL and HL (standard level or higher level). Math AI is far easier and Delft does not accept it. Math AA is more calculus based and Delft only accepts Math AA HL. To get accepted to do the exam at Delft you only need to be taking Math AA HL, thats it. Afterwards your placement depends on how well or poorly you do on the CST exam he talks about in another one of his videos. The CST from what I've heard is manageable if you study for it well. From any amount of applicants Delft will accept the top ~500 scorers on the exam. So if that year only 600 people apply its a lot easier than if 2000 people apply. Do keep in mind that Math AA HL is probably the hardest IB subject and even if you're good at programming your maths is just as important, if not even more important. Good luck :) Side note: Stop lying, you don't know "basically every language" there are over 50 commonly used programming languages each with different structure and syntax and some sources say even close to 9,000 total languages.
I always thought tu delft was hard, but i see an hard course you say, has a passing rate of 77%, here in italy, same bachelor, the hard courses have 10-20% rate
That doesn't necessarily say much about how hard a course is though. A poorly-taught easy course oftentimes has a lower passing rate than a well-taught hard course. TU Delft is a top school in many disciplines, so hard courses can have a relatively high passing rate. Definitely doesn't go for all courses though, as the guy above me is saying
No. Even you hardly have good life. Normal student will have 3: good score (study well), happy social life, and enough sleep. In TUD, you will end up with only 2 at max if study is mandatory. Sometimes 1.5, good study with no life and lack of sleep 😂. Cant imagine if you add work on top of it. Haha..
Great video! It was very informative and helpful. I was wondering if you could also provide the prices of the different room options for students, if possible? It would be really useful for anyone considering studying there.
