University of Twente
speciality: Computer Science

I believe that the University offers high-quality education, lots of academic support, and is full of international students from all over the world who are very friendly. The campus is big and has everything a student needs such as a supermarket and sports facilities. Many students live on campus and that is very convenient. There are also plenty of opportunities for personal and professional growth as there are so many study, sports, and culture associations that students could join as well as courses that the UT language center offers such as Dutch courses. Moreover, I like that the university puts a strong emphasis on learning through doing, as students participate in a project every module which I believe is a very practical way of applying knowledge and skills into practice to learn more effectively. However, if you don’t organize your time effectively and consistently put many hours into self-studying, it could get too overwhelming as things keep adding over time and some programmes are very fast-paced. In my opinion, I would definitely recommend this university for someone who would like to live in a small city with lots of international students, can manage their time effectively, and is passionate about the study programme that they are going to join.

University of Twente stands out for its commitment to academic excellence, renowned tutoring system, and state-of-the-art facilities and laboratories, ensuring students’ comfort and conducive learning environments. The campus boasts a unique infrastructure that prioritizes student welfare and studying conditions, setting it apart from others. With highly qualified faculty, often holding doctorate degrees, students experience a world-class education akin to international standards.

As a student at the University of Twente, I can say that this experience is geared toward an interdisciplinary approach, self-study, and project-based learning.

I did two master’s courses in computer science. I would like to add that although the level is quite high, the workload is manageable. The curriculum is well thought out and the teachers have excellent English skills. some of the tools used in the course are no longer “popular”.

I study Computer Science. What is nice about the program is that it is very practical. In every module, you always have to do at least one group practical project, sometimes with a company. That’s why I gain quite a lot of experience during my study.

The university is very big and there’s a lot of green on campus. There are multiple houses and rooms on campus. The professors speak decent English and understand their topics. The university spends a lot of time on personal development making sure you have more than a degree. The student life in the city is great and there are four big student associations located in the ‘Pakkerij’. Next to that there are dozens of study, sport and cultural associations.
