ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE

 

University of Twente - High tech, human touch
The University of Twente is a research university which focuses on the development of technology and its impact on people and society. This can be seen in the range of Bachelor’s degree programmes which the university offers in the field of technology and behavioural and social sciences. Our students are challenged to look beyond the boundaries of their own field and establish links with other disciplines. This multidisciplinary approach, known as the Twente Education Model, encourages scientific and social innovation and reflects the entrepreneurial spirit of the university.

 

A world top 200 University ⋅ 170th in the Times Higher Education World University rankings 2013/14

 

In keeping with its entrepreneurial spirit, the University is committed to making economic and social contribution to the region of the Netherlands where it is based. The UT collaborates with Delft University of Technology and Eindhoven University of Technology under the umbrella of the 3TU.Federation, and is also a partner in the European Consortium of Innovative Universities (ECIU).

 

The University was founded in 1961 as the Technische Hogeschool Twente, the Netherlands’ third higher vocational institute of technology later to become a university (the other two being Delft and Eindhoven). Accordingly, in 1986, it changed its name to Universiteit Twente (University of Twente). The Dutch government’s decision to locate the new institute in Enschede, the main city of Twente, had much to do with the north-eastern province’s rich industrial history. Another important consideration was the fact that the local economy needed a boost to compensate for the dwindling textile industry.
