Get to know the countless opportunities for exploring the campus – both online and offline.
Exploring a campus that’s the size of around 200 football pitches is no easy feat, so it’s not surprising that it can take a while. Fortunately, there are plenty of opportunities to get to know the campus, both remotely and ‘in real life’.

Art & architecture walk
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.
The special campus walk we have mapped out for lovers of art and architecture allows you to find this out. Download the booklet in Dutch or English or collect a printed copy at the service desk of the Spiegel building.
Would you prefer to do a tour of the campus with a professional guide? We can arrange that. The costs for a guided tour are €70 per hour. The maximum group size is 25 persons per guide. A campus tour takes about 1 to 1,5 hours. Larger groups require more guides.
Due to the variable availability of (student) guides, please contact us two weeks in advance.
