    Information for Dutch university and HBO students and for international students.

    ADMISSION FOR UT BACHELOR'S STUDENTS

    Several technical UT Bachelor's programmes that are closely related to the IDE Bachelor’s programme provide admission to the Master's IDE if a standard pre-Master's programme of maximum 30 EC is successfully completed within 12 months. It is also possible to follow the IDE pre-Master's programme as a minor.

    The list below shows which UT Bachelor's programmes grant admission to the IDE Master's programme after successfully completing the standard pre-Master's programme.

    • Advanced Technology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Creative Technology
    • Industrial Engineering & Management
    • Mechanical Engineering

    You can find the pre-Master's courses per programme's under the heading "Study progammes for UT Bachelor's". 

    If you have completed a UT Bachelor’s programme from another programme that is not listed here, such as University College Twente (ATLAS), there may also be possibilities to transfer to the IDE Master’s programme. However, your pre-Master's programme will be more complicated and will usually not fit in two quartiles. For more information, please contact the pre-Master Coordinator IDE (premastercoordinator-et@utwente.nl).

    • There is a maximum of one re-sit per course
    • Students who are unable to complete a pre-Master’s programme successfully are not re-admitted to a pre-Master’s programme in a following study year.
  • Practical information

    Pre-Master's finished: what to do?

    • Students who will finish the pre-Master's at the end of quartile two (January), should apply for the Master's programme through Osiris.
    • Students who will finish the pre-Master's at a later stage, should inform the pre-Master coordinator as soon as they have received their final grade. The coordinator will inform the student administration that the student should be enrolled in the Master's programme.
