- About UT Education (general)Education at UT is unique. This page provides useful links to get started at UT and understand our educational vision. Employee onboarding You receive an invite for the introduction meeting for new employees from the central Human Resources (HR) department. On top of that, there is a category on the Service Portal (our employee environment online) for New employees. If your faculty has faculty-specific introduction meetings/information, you will find that information in the the New employees > Faculty specific information section. Dutch Educational system The Dutch education system differs from all education systems in the world and is therefore unique. For example, in the Netherlands we give grades ranging from 1 (very bad) to 10 (very good), but getting a 10 at a university is really quite an achievement. Furthermore, our education is structured in such a way that we activate students to master the material, which they do under the guidance of the teacher, but also independently. Another big difference with

- Twente Educational Model (TEM)All bachelor's programmes at the University of Twente are designed based on the Twente Education Model (TOM). The TOM model emphasises project-based learning, student-driven education, and the development of T-shaped professionals, who are both deeply knowledgeable in their fields, skilled in collaborating across disciplines, and are aware of the impact this has on society. This foundation will enable UT graduates to make an impact by designing sustainable solutions and working on ground-breaking research. Why TOM? TOM prepares students to: Become 'T-shaped' professionals: Our students are strong within their respective disciplines but also can use their knowledge in a broader context, in partnership with other disciplines and wider society. Take responsibility for their learning: Our students take responsibility for their development. Our education is designed to actively promote students’ intrinsic motivation. Develop diverse skills: Students build competencies as researchers, designers, and organisers, ready
- Vision on Learning and TeachingHow can education at UT empower students to contribute to a better world? And how can UT’s commitment to making a positive impact on society through technology, strengthen that contribution? The ‘UT Vision on Learning and Teaching’ offers guidance, outlining how we can equip students with ‘more than a degree.’ Taking the challenges of our time as starting point, it places three goals at the heart of our education: learning by doing, building inclusive communities and self-development. Interconnected like the rings of a Borromean knot, these three goals form a roadmap to achieve our UT mission: to be a people-centred university of technology that empowers society through sustainable solutions. The UT Vision on Learning and Teaching provides a basis for strategy, investments, and the implementation of educational activities.
