About the University of Twente and Scholarship
Established in 1961 as Technische Hogeschool Twente (THT), the University of Twente has evolved into a dynamic academic institution known for its focus on technology and innovation. This marked a change in the academic character of the school and was a direct outcome of the 1984 revisions made to the Dutch Academic Education Act.
The Dutch government made a calculated choice in choosing Enschede, the capital of Twente, to house the nation’s third technical university. The University of Twente remains a key player in determining the direction of industry and education as a center for innovative research and technical developments.
Prospective students are urged to take advantage of this chance to participate in ground-breaking research, support innovation in the home care industry, and add to the university’s lively academic community. The University of Twente’s International PhD Positions are a prime example of the institution’s dedication to giving prospective academics a chance to significantly advance their areas and beyond.
