Bachelor's programmes (Bsc) - An overview of all our undergraduate courses. On the individual websites of the study programmes, you can find details such as the admission requirements for the specific programme, a modules and courses overview.
Master's programmes (Msc) - An overview of all our postgraduate courses. On the individual websites, you can find details such as the admission requirements for the specific programme, the module and course overview, start moments, language and duration, and details about specialisations.
Many of the master's come with their own pre-master's for university students and/or university of applied sciences (HBO) students. If a student cannot gain direct access to the master's in question, but do have a related Bachelor's Degree and meet the admission requirements, they migth be eligible to do the pre-master's to still gain access to the corresponding master's programme.
A pre-master's can support a slight switch between study programmes. It is not a mean in itself to switch from completely different study backgrounds.
Student do not apply to a Pre-Master but directly to the Master. After the assessment of the completed application by the study programme, the student will get contacted with direct admittance, rejection or the offer of doing a Pre-Master.
The offer, start moment (September and/or February) as well as the access for students with an international Bchelor's degree varies per study programme. This information can be found on the individual Master's websites.
In the Netherlands, only research universities like the University of Twente offer the third cycle of higher education leading to a PhD. A PhD involves spending four years of in-depth studying and researching in a particular area. This can be done within one of the research groups.
To become a researcher at UT first make sure to meet the admission requirements. Then PhD candidates may either apply for an available PhD position at one of the research groups or have a scholarship or funding of their own.
Next to pursuing a career in scientific research, leading to a PhD degree, we offer the option to opt for a more practical, design-oriented Professional Doctorate in Engineering (PDEng). Find out more about the design-oriented PDEng programmes.
The specifications of requirements (as need of Physics, Chemistry, Biology) with an international diploma can be found on the individual programme websites (under enrolment, admission requirements).
The first step: the eligibility check. The first mandatory step to apply is the online eligibility check. Please note that this is not the official admission procedure and that no rights can be derived from the outcome of the eligibility check.
The admission office will evaluate the documents and eligibility upon receiving a completed application. UT does not provide guaranteed admission upfront.
Master For the Master's, the application fee of €100 is applicable solely for the Master's of the faculty ET and EEMCS. Please find here the list of applicable programmes. The application fee is an institutional fee, which means it has to be paid only once even if the student applies to several Master's at UT. This FAQ provides answers to your potential questions.
Bachelor All students holding a non-Dutch educational degree have to pay an application fee of €100 for an application to a bachelor's programme. This means that the application will only be reviewed once the application fee has been paid and the money has been received by UT. The application fee will not be refunded. Students who wish to apply for more than one programme only need to pay the application fee once.
There are several scholarships that students can apply for when following a Master (Msc) programme at the University of Twente. For a complete overview of the scholarships, please follow the link to the scholarship finder to search per country or find country specific scholarships.
