This checklist will help you as a student who requires a visa or residence permit to get ready for your stay in the Netherlands and at UT.
Want to know how to make the most of your start at UT? Check out the Get Started Guide, which applies to all new and upcoming students at UT!
Especially for non-EEA students, we made a short checklist for you before and after arriving at UT. Check it out below!
When arriving in the Netherlands, you can get to the University of Twente by different means and from different places of departure. Whichever way you arrive, don't forget to get a public transport card.
Upon arriving at Schiphol airport, make your way to Schiphol Plaza, the airports’ main entrance. Locate the NS ticket desk (open 24/7) and buy a one-way train ticket to Enschede. Take a train from Schiphol to Amersfoort, then another train from Amersfoort to Enschede. If you want to go to the university campus directly you have to get off in Enschede. From there you can either take bus #9 with direction 'Enschede CS' and alight at bus stop 'Kennispark/UT' or take bus #1 with direction 'Hengelo CS' and alight at bus stop 'UT/Hoofdingang'.
