Yet another Act, passed on 22 May 1905, changed the name of the school to ''Technical College (Institute) of Delft'' ({{lang|nl|Technische Hoogeschool Delft}}, from 1934 {{lang|nl|Technische Hogeschool Delft}}), emphasizing the academic quality of the education. Polytechnic was granted university rights and was allowed to award academic degrees. The number of students reached 450 around that time. The official opening of the new school was attended by Queen [[Wilhelmina of the Netherlands|Wilhelmina]] on 10 July 1905. First [[Dean (education)|dean]] of the newly established college was [[Ingénieur|ir.]] J. Kraus, [[hydraulic engineer]].

[[Legal personality|Corporate rights]] were granted to the college on 7 June 1956. Most of the university buildings during that time were located within Delft city centre, with some of the buildings set on the side of the river [[Schie]], in the Wippolder district.

Student organizations grew together with the university. The first to be established on 22 March 1848 is the ''Delftsch Studenten Corps'' housed in the distinctive ''Sociëteit Phoenix'' on the Phoenixstraat.  This was followed by the ''Delftsche Studenten Bond'' (est. 30 October 1897) and the ''[[Sanctus Virgilius|KSV Sanctus Virgilius]]'' (est. 2 March 1898). In 1917, ''Proof Garden for Technical Plantation'' ({{langx|nl|Cultuurtuin voor Technische Gewassen}}) was established by [[Gerrit van Iterson]], which today is known as Botanical Garden of TU Delft. In that period, a first female professor, Toos Korvezee, was appointed.
