  • If you are able to work or are otherwise active alongside your studies really depends on the work and your ability to plan; it’s at your own responsibility and risk to plan your work alongside your lectures, group work, and exams. Please keep in mind that we do not facilitate a part time study programme:

    • lectures will be scheduled on every work day;
    • not all lectures are equally planned every week;
    • exams are planned by the Programme and cannot be rescheduled;
    • the study load to successfully complete the courses is approximately 42 hours a week.
  • The academic calendar of the UT shows which weeks during the year educational activities are (potentially) scheduled. If you plan your holiday during these weeks, this is at your own risk and responsibility, no educational activities will be re-scheduled because of your holiday. There are plenty of weeks available during the year that are allocated for Holidays, feel free to book your holiday in those weeks.

  • All students need to meet a requirement on English language skills before being admitted to the Programme, so the Programme administration is confident all students are able to study all materials. However, you can always experience a struggle with English skills, in that case you can contact the ‘UT Language Centre’ to see what you can do to improve your English language skills (www.utwente.nl/tcp).

  • During your studies you can already do a lot to prepare your future career, next to studying. Of course, content-wise you can choose the specialisation track of your interest, elective course(s) and the topic of your thesis in such a way that you are connected to up-to-date knowledge as wanted by employers. Furthermore, your set of skills can be trained and developed as best suiting your preferred employer and/or type of job. At the UT a lot of connections with future employers can be made, we advise you to check at an early stage of your studies the opportunities via alumni,  LinkedIn, Student Union, Bedrijvendagen, etc. Also please check www.utwente.nl/careerservices.
