The University of Twente mediates housing for SCHOLARSHIP PhD candidates who require a visa.
If you are looking for a house or apartment instead of a room, for example, because you wish to relocate with your family, we advise you to broaden your search to other housing possibilities. The University of Twente doesn't offer housing services for one's family, UT staff members, researchers or guests.
Please select whether you require an entry visa and/or a residence permit to stay at the University of Twente.
