Translated from Il sole 24 ore:
“Three other things characterize Twente: its large number of double degrees with foreign universities (including Italian ones, such as Parma, Trento or L'Aquila), its “humanistic” approach to technology from way back in the day, and the high number of startups it generates (there have historically been more than 1,200 in all, including Booking.com and Just Eat).”
International Environment and Career Opportunities
UT is a highly international university, with students and faculty from all over the world. Studying in such a diverse environment helps students develop a global mindset, which is essential in modern engineering. Thanks to strong connections with leading companies like Demcon, Philips, and Thales, UT provides excellent internship opportunities and immediate job prospects after graduation.
