Delft Student Columnist - International Students

Why this job is perfect for a student living in Delft
Delft is a city that blends historic canal-side streets, the lively Beestenmarkt terrace scene, and green escapes like Delftse Hout with a serious engineering and tech-focused student crowd from TU Delft. If you enjoy people-watching between lectures, debating campus life, and turning local observations into strong opinions, this role suits you. It’s one of the more creative Delft student jobs that fits around your schedule, connects you to campus culture, and lets your voice be heard by peers and internationals exploring student life here.

The role
As a Student Columnist for Delta (TU Delft) you will produce one monthly opinion column (approximately 500 words) about TU Delft or student life in Delft. Your responsibilities will include:

• Writing a clear, engaging 500-word opinion piece each month focused on TU Delft/student life.
• Submitting well-edited copy that reflects your perspective and is suitable for publication.
• Providing a short sample column (maximum 500 words) when you apply — this helps us get a feel for your voice and ideas.
• Meeting the submission deadline for your sample: before 23 Feb 2026.
• Working with the editorial team as needed to refine content prior to publication.

Payment & deadlines
Delta pays per published word. Exact salary details are not specified in this listing; please ask during the application process if you need a concrete figure. Expect to commit approximately 3–5 hours per month for writing, editing, and communication with editors.

International-friendly & English-friendly
This position is English-friendly and suitable for students who prefer to write in English. It is an attractive option among student jobs in Delft for english speakers and for those seeking jobs in Delft for international students. We welcome English-language submissions and perspectives that reflect Delft’s diverse student community.

Practicalities & location hints
The role is remote-friendly in practice (writing from your room, canal-side café, or the library). You’ll be part of the TU Delft media community, so proximity to campus and the main student hubs (Beestenmarkt, faculty buildings, and nearby study spots) is useful but not required. This is one of the flexible part time jobs Delft english speakers often pursue alongside studies.

Who should apply
If you’re a TU Delft student or live in Delft, enjoy opinion writing, and can capture the student-city vibe — from engineering debates to café culture — this is a great role. It’s ideal for students looking for flexible, creative Delft student jobs with exposure to the campus community.
