The University of Twente is where technology, people and society come together. As the entrepreneurial university, we educate innovators, conduct pioneering research and work closely with businesses, governments and societal organisations to create solutions for the challenges of today and tomorrow.
Our starting point is simple: technology has the greatest impact when it serves people. That is why engineers, social scientists and natural scientists work side by side across disciplines. Together, they develop innovations that contribute to healthier lives, a more sustainable world, safer societies and a stronger digital future.
Our education and research are closely connected. Students learn by working on real-world challenges, while researchers translate scientific discoveries into practical applications with societal impact. Entrepreneurship is embedded throughout the university, enabling ideas to grow into innovations, start-ups and collaborations that make a difference beyond our campus.
Located on the only all-in campus in the Netherlands, the University of Twente offers a unique environment where studying, research, entrepreneurship, culture, sports and student life come together. Our international community creates an open and collaborative atmosphere in which students and staff are encouraged to explore, innovate and make an impact.
