Welcome to our unique campus

WELCOME TO

OUR UNIQUE CAMPUS

As a student, you will feel right at home within the close UT community on our magnificent campus: a fascinating learning, living and working environment that has as many facilities and activities as a small city would have to offer. Here, more than 12,000 students and 3,800 scientists and staff members, representing around 100 nationalities, come together to use the latest knowledge and technology for a better future. And you can become of one them!

OUR COMMUNITY

At the University of Twente, we want to make sure you grow to your full potential, and we know that growth doesn’t just come from studying. Becoming part of our inspiring community will help you achieve interdisciplinary and intercultural connections and personal development. There are plenty of options for extracurricular activities and within a vibrant student community with over 100 associations you can join, varying from sports, culture, study, social and international, you will surely make the most out of your student life. More than that, an open approach is a key value within our relatively small-scale university. So don’t be surprised when a professor knows you by your first name – and that you can call them by theirs!

EVERYTHING FROM NANOLAB TO STARBUCKS

One of University of Twente’s crown jewels is undoubtedly our campus. A green, sustainable, and lively environment that covers 146 hectares – approximately 200 football fields. Here, you can find everything you need to learn, work and live. From libraries and laboratories to fitness facilities and sports fields. How about performing experiments in one of our robotics labs, or the Nanolab within MESA+, one of the world’s largest nanotechnology research institutes? More than that, you can play almost any sport imaginable here, such as baseball, beach volleyball, archery and even muggle quidditch. Once a year, the campus is the finish line of the biggest relay race in the world, the ‘BATAVIERENRACE’, which is followed annually by Europe’s largest all-night student party!
