University of Twente (reviews)

The school has a very large and beautiful campus. The surrounding environment is quite clean and peaceful. There are many outdoor activities with various sports and good facilities. The curriculum is interesting but relatively difficult and involves a lot of assignments.

The MSc in Electrical Engineering at the University of Twente offers a highly flexible and research-oriented learning experience that allows students to shape their own academic path based on their interests. The programme covers a wide range of modern electrical engineering fields such as electronics, power systems, semiconductor technology, communication networks, and embedded systems, making it both broad and future-focused.

What stands out most is the freedom to specialize deeply while still having the option to combine different areas of study. This makes the programme especially valuable for students who want to explore advanced topics like integrated circuits, power electronics, or biomedical applications. The strong emphasis on research, combined with an international learning environment and close links to industry, helps students develop both technical depth and practical problem-solving skills.

Overall, it feels like a well-balanced master’s programme that not only strengthens core electrical engineering knowledge but also prepares students for innovation-driven careers in academia, research, and high-tech industries.

I would say the university life at Twente is hard and busy. I struggled and cried a lot, but I developed a lot as a person and as an academic researcher.
I would say, if you go to this university as an international student (coloured race), be bold and prepared enough.

I studied at the Faculty of Geoinformation Science and Earth Observation (ITC) at the University of Twente. It is a very multi-cultural faculty and opportunity to interact with other students from varied background. Curriculum is progressive with latest developments in research and industry. The education system is very open to feedbacks from students n how to improve quality of education and overall student well-being. I do recommend the university
