Go beyond borders

Do you want to broaden your horizon and explore different cultures, experience different styles of education, and expand your worldview? Whether you are a student from outside the Netherlands looking for a master’s or exchange programme at the University of Twente, or you want to study abroad during your Master’s at UT: there are plenty of options for you to gain international experience and grow as a global citizen.

As a student at the University of Twente, you can access our many top-notch, international partner universities, as well as companies and governmental organisations around the world. Depending on your programme, you can make use of exchange and internship opportunities in most European countries and many non-EU destinations, such as Australia, Brazil, Canada, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, and South Korea. Some of these countries are home to our International Strategic Partners: University of Münster (Germany), University of Science and Technology (China), University of São Paulo (Brazil) and University of Waterloo (Canada). You can also tap into our network of leading organisations and international companies, such as ASML, Boeing, Google, Microsoft, Unilever, AkzoNobel, Shell, Siemens, BP, and Philips.

You will also have easy access to the education and research facilities of our network of entrepreneurial and innovative partner universities across Europe, thanks to our role as founding member of the European Consortium of Innovative Universities (ECIU). ECIU has founded the ECIU University, which is the first European university where learners, teachers and researchers cooperate with cities and businesses to solve real-life challenges.

If you would like to join us as an exchange student, make sure your home university has an exchange agreement with us before applying. Our Exchange Study Packages are a set of balanced, coherent, well-structured, and comprehensive courses at academic level. Another option may be to do an internship or research assignment with us.
