You have decided that you want to apply for a MASTER's at the University of Twente? Great!
Applying can be a time-consuming procedure. If necessary Student Services will gladly assist you further. To arrange your enrolment or re-enrolment at an institution of higher education in the Netherlands, you have to start at the website Studielink.
You may be admitted to a (pre-)master's on the condition that you still have to pass. Therefore please know that you can apply even though you have not yet completed your degree. Check the admission requirements for a specific programme on the site of the master's of your choice.
Your admission result may take longer than usual
The Admission Office of UT is doing its utmost best to make sure your application is being handled carefully. At this moment, our Admission Office is handling a lot of applications. Your application may therefore take longer than usual. We will inform you about your admission result within two to five weeks after you started your application. We hope for your understanding.
Choose your application route
There are different types of applications, so please make sure you choose the right route below based on your educational background, nationality and personal situation:
Do I need to apply for a pre-master's?
It is not possible to apply directly for a pre-master's programme. You need to put in an application for the master's programme of your choice through Studielink. We will take your application under consideration and will then proceed to transfer it to a pre-master's programme in case you are not directly eligible for a master's programme.
Please note: subsidiary students can apply for a pre-master's. See the above-mentioned route.
