Partner universities | Student mobility (EN)

In order to allow students to go to other partners for courses, a so-called 'bilateral agreement' needs to be in place. Without such agreement, students are typically required to pay tuition fees to the university of choice, even though tuition has been paid to the University of Twente. More information regarding the pros and cons of going to a partner institution as well as the different types of agreements we currently have, can be found in the Canvas-site "Study abroad for ET students" (UT students only). Below you can find an overview of our partner universities with whom we have arranged these bilateral agreements. Do note that not all partners offer courses for all our programmes! For more information about this, please consult the above-mentioned Canvas site. In this Canvas-site you will also find additional information per partner university, such as the subject areas you can choose from, how flexible the partner university is in your course selection, etc.

In addition to the overview of partners as given in de sections below, you can also use the search portal of Mobility Online. This portal lists all the UT partners currently defined within Mobility Online. For each partner information is given regarding the international website, procedures, deadlines, etc. The level of detail of that information might differ per partner.
