Computer and Embedded Systems Engineering

CESE (pronounced /'keɪsiː/), or Computer and Embedded Systems Engineering is a master programme of the TU Delft. In it, we mix Embedded Systems with Computer Engineering. The programme consists of a broad base covering both topics, together with specialization tracks. This is the internal website with course information for students. For more information about the programme, see the TU Delft website.

Although we split elective courses into specializations, that's mostly a convenience so you know which courses belong together. You can mix and match courses in the elective space, of Q2, Q3, Q4 and three in Q1 of year two. However, you must make sure that, in total, at least 3 of your elective courses come from the set of CESE specialization courses, as shown on this website.

This website is for your convenience. The study guide is always leading, and although we'd appreciate it if you report mistakes on this website, you cannot gain any rights because of those mistakes.
