===Research schools===
Important part of [[Dutch universities|Dutch university system]] are research schools. They combine education, training and research for PhD candidates and [[postdoc|postdoctoral researchers]] in a given field. The main goal of the research schools is to coordinate nationwide research programs in a given area. Research schools of TU Delft cooperate with other universities in the Netherlands. Research schools are required to have an [[accreditation]] of [[Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences]]. TU Delft is taking the lead in ten research schools, and participates in nine. The full list of research schools affiliated with TU Delft is available on TU Delft website,<ref name="TU Delft Research Institutes"/> see for example [[TRAIL Research School]].

===Media===
During an [[academic year]] the TU Delft publishes a weekly magazine: ''Delta'',<ref name="TU Delta">{{Cite web|url=https://www.delta.tudelft.nl/|title=Delta|publisher=TU Delft|access-date=2010-06-17}}</ref> which aims at the student and employee community of the university.

Board of doctorates appoints supervisors for [[PhD]] students, forms promotion committees, determines promotional code, and confers PhD and doctorate [[Honoris Causa]] degrees. Committee for the application of the allocation model reports to the executive board regarding allocation model. Further, it controls output data supplied to the executive board.
