Το UT (συντομογραφία του University of Twente) συνεργάζεται με το [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delft_University_of_Technology Delft University of Technology] και το [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eindhoven_University_of_Technology Eindhoven University of Technology] υπό την ομπρέλα του 3TU.Federation και είναι επίσης μέλος του Ευρωπαϊκού Συνασπισμού Καινοτόμων Πανεπιστημίων ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Consortium_of_Innovative_Universities European Consortium of Innovative Universities] -ECIU).
==History==
The University was founded in 1961 as the Technische Hogeschool Twente, the Netherlands’ third higher vocational institute of technology later to become a university (the other two being Delft and Eindhoven). Accordingly, in 1986, it changed its name to Universiteit Twente (University of Twente). The Dutch government’s decision to locate the new institute in Enschede, the main city of [[Twente]], had much to do with the north-eastern province’s rich industrial history. Another important consideration was the fact that the local economy needed a boost to compensate for the dwindling textile industry.<ref>{{cite web|title=History of the University of Twente|url=http://www.esntwente.nl/content/history-university-twente|accessdate=26 January 2014}}</ref>
==Campus==
[[Image:Universiteit Twente Torentje van Drienerlo 2005-07-10.jpg|thumb|right|[[Torentje van Drienerlo|Drienerlo tower]] on the campus.]]
The University of Twente was built on the former country estate of Drienerlo, situated between Hengelo and Enschede. On this beautifully landscaped 140 hectare estate, comprising woodland, meadows and water, architects Van Tijen and Van Embden designed the Netherlands’ first - and so far only - campus university along American lines. Students and staff live, work and pursue their leisure activities on campus. Through the years, several other important architects and artists have made their own contributions to the design of the campus.
Students and staff at the University of Twente continue to form an active academic community. The beautiful campus of the University has excellent sports and cultural facilities that have stimulated the development of a rich mix of student societies, student social events, and a constant flow of new initiatives. The Student Union, which is run entirely by students, promotes the interests of all student societies and also manages several premises, including the student social centre in the heart of Enschede.<ref>{{cite web|title=History of the University of Twente|url=http://www.esntwente.nl/content/history-university-twente|accessdate=26 January 2014}}</ref>

===Education===
The degree programmes at the University of Twente range from [[business administration]], [[psychology]] to [[applied physics]], [[engineering]] and [[biomedical technology]]. The curriculum is broad, flexible and relevant to the labour market. Most students combine coursework in their major subject with a coherent set of minors in another discipline. A growing number of foreign students are finding their way to the UT. Almost all postgraduate programmes (and several undergraduate programmes) are taught in English. Half of all PhD students at the UT now come from outside the Netherlands.
The University of Twente has a world class research programme. In the applied sciences, the emphasis is on nanotechnology, process technology, engineering, information & communication technology, and the biomedical sciences. The University also has a strong track record in management and behavioural sciences.
The University of Twente sets great importance on the useful application of knowledge in the society. Patents, lifelong learning programmes, and spin-off companies testify to this commitment, as does UT’s intensive involvement in research programmes that enhance knowledge infrastructure in the Netherlands. So far, the UT has produced over 600 spin-off companies; more than any other Dutch university.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.studentunion.utwente.nl/kick-in-master/general/|title=University of Twente Student Union, master degree kick-in 2009}}</ref>
From the outset, the University of Twente has sought to put the applied sciences in a wider social context. Students and researchers are always challenged to look beyond the boundaries of their own subject area and to establish links between different disciplines. The University of Twente believes that a multidisciplinary approach will stimulate innovation in science and society alike.
