STEP-BY-STEP PLAN
FROM WONDERING TO REGISTERING A lot depends on what you decide to study. That’s why you need to take the time to discover which university and degree are best for you. Do you need help deciding? Follow this step-by-step plan!
STEP 1 DISCOVER YOUR TALENT WHAT ARE YOU ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT? WHAT ARE YOU GOOD AT?
Take note of your findings, take a study choice test, and talk to your teacher(s). Did you know that UT organises orientation study choice activities for secondary school students?
STEP 2 START GETTING ORIENTED COLLECT ALL THE AVAILABLE INFORMATION ON PROGRAMMES, COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES.
See which bachelor’s match your interests. You may want to visit fairs: utwente.nl/mag/fairs Then answer this question: what is really important to you in a programme? utwente.nl/en/bachelor Ask your questions via chat, telephone or email, or visit the Study Information Centre utwente.nl/mag/contact-en
STEP 3 LOOK AND COMPARE
HAVE YOU FOUND ONE OR MORE PROGRAMMES THAT APPEAL TO YOU? COMPARE THEM! Visit Open Days and talk to students and teachers. Are you seriously interested in a particular programme? Then sign up to be a Student for a Day, and come share in a typical day in the life of a UT student. utwente.nl/studentforaday
STEP 4 MAKE YOUR DECISION BY NOW YOU WILL BE READY TO DECIDE WHICH PROGRAMME SUITS YOU BEST.
Follow your own gut feeling – after all, it is your choice. Whether or not you will have direct admission to a specific programme depends on your profile and electives. Before signing up, ask yourself these questions: ✔ Have I prepared myself adequately? ✔ Do I have the right profile? ✔ Does admission to my programme of choice involve a draw, or decentralised selection?
