Admission/ Enrollment

The applicant is requested to apply only to the university of preference, because registration at one university automatically means admission and co-registration at the other two.

Dutch students
Please check on http://www.doorstroommatrix.nl/ whether your Bachelor's degree is sufficient for admission, or whether you need to follow a pre-master programme.

International students
The minimum required English language competence level is IELTS 6.5 or equivalent. The applicant should possess a BSc degree from an accredited institute in Computer Science/Engineering, Electrical/Electronics Engineering or a related field.

The general requirements for admission to a Master programme are:

·	A relevant BSc degree* (or equivalent) based on a programme of sufficient academic level and quality to be able to complete the MSc degree course you intend to pursue at the University of Twente.

·	For applicants whose mother tongue is a language other than English:

1.	Academic IELTS**, overall band score of at least 6.5.

2.	TOEFL**, internet based (TOEFL-iBT) of at least 90. Please note that we do not accept “Institutional TOEFL” tests except for the one organized and certified by the Netherlands Education Support Office in Jakarta

Nationals of the People’s Republic of China please note: A “NUFFIC-certificate” must be sent to the University of Twente as proof of validity of your qualifications. In order to obtain the NUFFIC-certificate you will need to take the IELTS test or an internet based TOEFL (TOEFL-iBT). Note that, as of 1 June 2010, certificates will be issued by the Nuffic in the Hague instead of The Netherlands Education Support Office in Beijing.
