About

History

The University of Twente, which at its founding in 1961 was still called the Twente Technological University of Applied Sciences, managed to distinguish itself early on by integrating technology with social sciences. In the summer of 1986 the Twente Technological University of Applied Sciences received her current name: University of Twente. 

Education

The University of twente offers bachelor's and master's programmes. The University of Twente's Twente Education Model (TOM) means challenging themed project education. The education consists of 10-week periods, each with one central theme. As a student you therefore learn to look beyond the boundaries of your own field of study and to establish links with other disciplines.

Students form multidisciplinary teams in order to look at the assignment at hand from several different perspectives. For example, technical solutions also present social, economic and design dilemmas that are part of the social context of the issue.

Research

Our strength lies in our capacity to combine. We engage in leading research in technologies we believe are vitally linked to behavioural and social sciences. A key element in our social impact is our strong emphasis on commercial knowledge valorisation, or the ability convert complex knowledge into viable economic activity and social applications. 

Our world today is facing major environmental, economic, social and political challenges. Scientific research has a pivotal role to play in creating conditions that will sustain life on this planet. Our research institutes are committed in areas ranging from nanotechnology to technical medicine, behavioural sciences and geo-information science and earth observation.

Career

Inspiring education, groundbreaking research and relevant innovation are all at the heart of what we find important at the University of Twente. Over 3,000 scientists and supporting professionals are responsible for this. As the UT is part of the constantly and rapidly changing international academic environment, it is important that our members of staff continue to develop themselves, for example to be able to provide education in keeping with modern standards or to draw up a grant application likely to lead to a successful outcome.

Student Life

Campus life

The campus of the University of Twente was constructed during the 1960s in a park-like area between Enschede and Hengelo. It was an experiment: the Netherlands did not have another example of a campus university yet.

Since it was built more than 50 years ago, a lot has been changed and rebuilt at the University of Twente, although some of the original architectural or urban ideas have remained unaffected by the ravages of time.
