Ambassador
Viola, BSc Mechanical Engineering
“Mechanical Engineering gives you the opportunity to explore the various fields where engineering is essential to tackle the challenges of the future. From the very beginning, students are involved in hands-on projects that allow them to apply theory, develop technical skills, and enhance teamwork abilities.
Through these experiences, students start building a true engineering mindset: solution-oriented, collaborative, and able to tackle complex problems with a critical and creative approach.
Thanks to projects ranging from sustainability to robotics, we have the chance to work alongside classmates from diverse cultures, enriching each other both academically and personally.”
Camilla, MSc Biomedical Engineering
“The Biomedical Engineering programme, with a specialization in Medical Device Design, prepares you to develop innovative technological solutions to improve people’s health and quality of life.
During the course, you will tackle practical challenges related to medical device design, biomechanical analysis, 3D printing, sensor technology, and clinical validation. At the same time, the University of Twente gives you great freedom to shape your study plan, allowing you to focus on the topics you are most passionate about. Collaboration with professors is always stimulating: they are available to listen to your ideas, provide feedback, and actively involve you in projects.
This university has truly revolutionized my approach to studying: here it is not about spending endless hours with textbooks, but exploring what fascinates you with curiosity, at your own pace and in the way that suits you best.”
