University of Twente. We are living in an ever-changing world. With the increasing role of technology our society is constantly evolving and facing many new challenges. As a technology-driven research University we are preparing our students for the future as tomorrow’s global citizens. We provide excellent education and research, in the fields of Biomedical-, Nano- and Information Technologies, combined with relevant Governance and Behavioural Sciences. High Tech, Human Touch!

For most of our postgraduate programmes there is an online eligibility check available to help international students find out if they are eligible for a specific master’s programme. It will take about five minutes to complete. Please note that this is not the official admission procedure and that no rights can be derived from the outcome of the eligibility check.

We distinguish ourselves from other universities by the impact we create through the transfer of scientific knowledge and the number of our spin-off companies; we are the most entrepreneurial university of Europe. That is what the University of Twente (UT), home to 10,000 students and 3,200 employees, stands for.

Upon completion of the majority of our master‘s programmes, students will have gained the title Master of Science (MSc). Our master’s programmes are accredited by the Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders (NVAO). Read more about the organization of education at University of Twente, the quality of education and regulations.  

The programmes are offered on and off Campus, not only in the Netherlands, but also abroad or online and are provided by the University of Twente or the University of Twente in collaboration with prestigious universities from all around the globe (joint programmes).
