Future-proof education model
Our bachelor’s programmes have a broad setup: you learn to connect technology with the social sciences to create solutions that truly matter. We help you understand the interplay between technology, people and society, and how to apply scientific knowledge in real-world contexts. Our education model focuses on both knowledge and skills in entrepreneurship, research and design. As a UT graduate, you’ll have grown both academically and personally.
Study guidance
At university, you study independently and the pace is high. From the very beginning, you’ll receive support from a study adviser and project tutors. Within six months, you’ll know whether the programme suits you. If you’re unsure, there’s still time to switch to a different approach or degree.
Each programme is designed to give you a clear understanding of the content and academic level within the first six months. If you earn fewer than 45 EC by the end of your first year, you’ll have to discontinue the programme. Seeking help early can help prevent this. The Student Guidance & Well-being team offers support with personal or mental health issues, choosing the right study path, student finance, or coaching. Psychological support is available free of charge.

Did you know that WiFi was invented by UT graduate Cees Links, and that major international companies like Booking.com, Demcon, and Thuisbezorgd were all started by UT students? We are here to help you turn your scientific knowledge into practical solutions for people and society. Your innovative ideas, creativity and courage will be rewarded with us.
Do you have a great idea for your own business? At UT, you get the space and support to make it happen.
