The University of Twente organises various recruitment activities to inform, enthuse and convince prospective bachelor's and master's students to study at UT.

There are two types of open days: online and on-campus open days. The Online Open Day in May focuses on converting international students from admissed to enrolled and the Open Days in March and November focus on orientation.

Student for a day (individual orientation days)
The Student for a Day option is for both bachelor's and master's programmes. For master's the focus is on Skype calls (online), for bachelor's the focus is a campus-experience when possible. Alternatively, there is the option for a Skype call when an on-campus meeting is not possible.
What | Bachelor's & master's Student for a Day |
Target group | Prospective Dutch and international students |
Date | October – June |
As a student for a day, prospective students get a taste of student life at UT and gain first-hand experience of a bachelor’s or master’s programme by attending lecture or sitting in at workshops or practicals. They will have plenty of opportunities to ask questions about the programme and the university to their buddy (meeloopbegeleider). Being a student for a day supplements a visit to an open day and focuses on personal contact. It is recommended for students after visiting an open day.
