How to apply to the University of Twente

You have decided that you want to apply for a MASTER's programme 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 use the website Studielink.

You may be admitted to a (pre-)master's programme 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 programme of your choice.

GO TO STUDIELINK

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:

UT Students
Students who are currently studying at the University of Twente or obtained a Bachelor's or Master's degree from the University of Twente in the past.
Subsidiary students (in Dutch: Bijvakker, Kies op Maat, Gaststudent)
Students applying during their HBO Bachelor in the Netherlands and want to follow the pre-Master programme during their HBO Bachelor's degree.
International and Dutch students
Students holding an international or national degree or students who will graduate for their degree before the start of the academic year.

Do I need to apply for a pre-master's?

If you do not meet all of the requirements for admission, you may be admissible to a pre-master's programme. You don't need to apply for a pre-master's directly. You always apply for a master’s programme and the University of Twente will change this to a pre-master’s registration if this is required for you.
