Apply with a Dutch or international degree

Did you already choose a master's? If yes, please continue with step 2. Otherwise, select a master's of your choice.

The University of Twente has different admission requirements for students with an international degree and admission requirements for students with a Dutch degree when applying for a (pre-)master's. In addition, some master’s have specific admission requirements. That's why you should always check the admission page of your desired master's. Also check the language admission requirement. Make sure you comply with all these admission requirements. 

For most of our (pre-)master’s, there is an online eligibility check (e-check) available to advice international students if they are eligible for a specific (pre-)master’s. It will take about five minutes to complete. Please note that this is not the official admission decision and that no rights can be derived from the outcome of the eligibility check.

For students with an international degree, it is mandatory to complete the e-check. After you have submitted your e-check you will receive an email with a code, you need to fill in this code within your application later on.

Different application deadlines apply to different types of applicants.

If you intend to apply for some form of sponsorship, you will be required to meet the deadlines imposed by the sponsor. In many cases, these may be as early as nine months before the start of the master's. Also read the information about financing your study.

To start your online application procedure you will need several documents. We have prepared example documents so that you can check the type of the document on your own. Please note that you will submit these documents digitally. If any certified photocopies are required from you the University of Twente will notify you of this and tell you where to send them.
