Please note

If you pass the Twente Pathway College International Foundation Year successfully, you have guaranteed admissibility to the Bachelor’s programme you chose. During this year, there will be possibilities to retake any failed exams and the support team will carefully monitor your study progress and offer guidance when required. Students are only allowed to stay in the Netherlands for one year of preparation education. After this you need to be enrolled at a higher education institution in the Netherlands otherwise your visa to study will no longer be valid. When you do not pass your Twente Pathway College International Foundation Year successfully, there will be no option to start your studies at the University of Twente.
