Many of the master's come with their own pre-master's for university students and/or university of applied sciences (HBO) students.

At University College Twente we firmly believe it should be. In order to understand today’s world, you have to understand technology. And solving today’s problems means you have to have design skills. Therefore, our bachelor's programme focuses on science, mathematics, engineering and social sciences. Our unique approach to engineering education is aimed at raising a new and different kind of engineer and global citizen.
