1.

Apply before 15 April 2013 through this link (in Studielink).

2.

You will receive on your emailaddress (given in Studielink) a confirmation email of the University of Twente, which contains information on delivering additional documents.

3.

The requirements for these additional documents (guidelines of a good portfolio and what we expect from a CV) you will find here.

4.

Once you have registered for Creative Technology in Studielink, you will be invited for an application interview between January and June 2013. You will be expected to ‘pitch’ your creativity and your affinity with technology to the Selection Committee. International students will be able to attend an application interview on Skype.

5.

The Creative Technology programme ranks applicants and submits this list to DUO (Dutch governmental organization, responsible for study grants to students), which then selects students for 2013-2014. Ranking is based on the following selection criteria:

a.

Affinity with creativity: you are interested in or have experience with creative processes (generating ideas and creating impact).

b.

Affinity with technology: you want to learn how products work and why they work. You want to understand how technology works at an abstract level. You also want to build prototypes by linking components and applying your knowledge of technology.

c.

Working in teams: you enjoy working in teams, you understand the pros and cons of working in a group, you are aware of your contribution and you are open to improvement.

d.

School results: the committee will consider your overall results at school. Indicators that show a lack of affinity with technology will not work in your favour.

e.

Programme orientation: you have prepared yourself thoroughly for the Creative Technology programme. You have gathered information about the programme (e.g. from the website, brochure) and you have attended the Open Day or participated in an individual orientation day (Meeloopdag) (does not apply to international students).

6.

We will submit the rankings to DUO on 15 June. We will subsequently inform you of your specific ranking on the list. In the second half of July, once the results of the final examinations are processed, DUO will complete the allocation of places in the programme, and you will receive a certificate of admission if you are selected. You will then be able to enrol in the programme. (Note: if you have foreign qualifications, your certificate of admission may be delayed depending on verification of your diploma or certificate.)
