On this page you can find everything you need to communicate effectively within UT, enhance your communication skills, as well as support during times of change and crisis.
Communication channels
In addition to work meetings, the newspage on the Service Portal is the main digital channel if you need to communicate with students and employees and to keep yourself informed about UT actualities. To submit news/events for the Service Portal (for employees) or Student Services site use the news/event submission form (also available as a Dutch form).
UT style and language
To ensure an open, inclusive and consistent British English tone, UT follows a number of guidelines and principles that result from UT's language policy.
Tailored support
Whether you want to refine a text, share news or events, launch a podcast, display messages on building monitors or coffee machines, or strengthen community building, the Service Portal is your starting point. For more tailored support, the communication adviser of your unit is always happy to help you.
- Change communicationImplementing any change requires more than simply informing people. On this page you can find more information about how to make impact with the right mix of communication channels.

- Effective text and email creationMarketing & Communication and UT Language Centre have put the most important tips for you here. In addition to practical tips for writing an effective article or email, we also give tips on using images and the UT house style. We give an overview of which UT templates are available and where you can download the UT logo. Writing guidelines How do you write a good e-mail In this section, we will consider the specific aspects that are important for writing a good email. Just to be clear, the practical tips set out in the style guide still apply, of course, to writing a clear email. Thus, where necessary, the tips for email traffic will also include references to the style guide. Subject The subject is an important part of any email. Based on the subject, the recipient can select and filter the messages in their mailbox before reading them. If nothing else, a good choice of subject will make it more likely that your message will actually be read. Thus, use a clear subject line that reflects the contents of the email
- Improving communication skillsEffective communication is essential for the success of your work and our university. To support you in this, MC offers various training courses, workshops and practical tools.
