To make sure that Electrical Engineering is the right fit for you, the programme organises an optional matching procedure. This enables you to see if the programme suits your talents, motivation and interests. The matching procedure for Electrical Engineering consists of a digital questionnaire and a matching event.
THE MATCHING PROCEDURE
Once you have registered in Studielink and have received a provisional admission from the Admissions Office, you will be sent an email containing detailed instructions on how to fill in and submit a questionnaire. After submitting the completed questionnaire, you will be invited to the matching event.
All students, both Dutch and international, will be invited for the matching event on 11 April online, or 30 May 2024 at the University of Twente. Additionally, students whose personal situation requires further attention will be invited for a personal appointment with the study advisor.
