Overview of our bachelor's programmes  - An overview of all our undergraduate courses (20 in total, of which 16 are taught in English). On the individual websites you can find details such as the admission requirements for the specific programme, the module and course overview. 

Overview of our master's programmes (Msc). 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 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.

University College Twente is the Liberal Arts and Sciences college of the University of Twente. It offers a three-year, international Honours programme for motivated and ambitious students: the Bachelor’s in Technology and Liberal Arts and Sciences, or ATLAS in short. UCT is based on the American model of liberal education, which means you get the freedom to design your own study programme. As a student, you learn and live together with your fellow students on campus. The programme is characterised by challenging encounters with important issues and more a way of studying, rather than studying a specific course or field of study.

Twente Graduate School (TGS) - Integrated master’s and PhD programmes

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 the University of Twente 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 they may have a scholarship or funding of their own.

Professional Doctorate in Engineering (PDEng)

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.
