The University of Twente is a leading international research university in the Netherlands. Our many English-taught programmes and our unique profile and campus attract many non-Dutch students. We provide high-quality teaching and research with an approach we call ‘High Tech Human Touch’, uniquely combining social sciences and engineering. Our university is ideally situated in Europe, roughly centred between Paris, London and Berlin. Amsterdam is just two hours away by train.
Almost 30,000 students, are enrolled either at Saxion Hogeschool Enschede (Saxion University of Professional Education, Enschede), the Academy of Music, the Academy of Art, or the University of Twente. That is 30% of the total population! That makes the city alive. And international as well. Thanks to the international profile of the University of Twente and being near to the German border, there are many international students.
Studying in the Netherlands is a great way to develop an open-minded, international outlook. Dutch education is highly interactive, focusing on teamwork, independence and a proactive approach. And being a small country with global ambitions, the Netherlands has always attracted people from many different cultures and countries. This makes it a colourful, multicultural society with plenty of room for living life your way.
The University of Twente. We stand for human sciences and technology. High tech and human touch. Education and research that really matter. New technology as a driver of change, innovation and progress in society. Personal development is encouraged and talented researchers are given the opportunity for groundbreaking scientific research. The UT offers an inspiring, challenging, flexible and enduring environment to work in. The campus is where staff and students meet.
As stated in Vision2020, the UT has ambitious goals. Deliver outstanding graduates, generate ground-breaking ideas and world-class innovations, and let our staff be outstanding experts in their field. We know the real needs of the UT-customer and are fulfilling his needs. Rapidly responding the changing world around us, not once, but continuously.
To realize this vision we need to use all our knowledge and energy in those things which really contribute to this ambition. Don’t spoil time and knowledge on minor details, don’t waste our time.
To realize this situation, an organization without any waste, we really need to know our customer value. We have to create value-creating processing with each step adding to customer value, and get rid of all the waste in the organization processes. The lean philosophy, and especially the way of working and behaviour this according to this philosophy supports an organization culture that is needed to really become an organization without any waste. For that reason it was decided in January 2015 to start with “lean doing”, to make a start with continuous improving, to become an organization of serious improvers.
The University of Twente focuses on developing technology and on studying the impact technology has on people and society. We always challenge you to look beyond the boundaries of your own field of study to establish links with other disciplines. This multidisciplinary approach encourages scientific and social innovation and reflects the entrepreneurial spirit of the University.

Het terrein van de UVT is groot en heel erg groen. Je kan er uren over wandelen en zelfs door het bos naar Hengelo lopen. Mooie omgeving en vriendelijke bevolking.

Awesome university. I really enjoyed studying there. Buildings are brand-new, lots of international people plus lectures are interesting and you don't feel bored like in any other university. They have a student bar, Starbucks, barbershop, grocery store and other facilities on campus.

The campus area is quite big and environmental friendly. During spring and summer you can have a picnic as there are a lot of spaces in the campus area. A lot of events and concerts are held here during the summer.
