University of Twente in the Netherlands Reports 3,419 New Students on November 10: Bachelor Intake of 2,186 Is the Highest in Five Years, Up 8 Percent, With Mechanical Engineering Up 39 Percent
ENSCHEDE, Netherlands — The University of Twente announced on November 10 that it has welcomed 3,419 new bachelor and master students this academic year. With 2,186 new bachelor students, bachelor intake has reached its highest level in five years. Bachelor intake rose by 8 percent compared with last year, while new master students rose by 3 percent to 1,233.
By programme, bachelor Mechanical Engineering welcomed 115 more students than last year, an increase of 39 percent. Civil Engineering grew by 24 percent. Psychology, offered in both Dutch and English since 2025, welcomed 37 more Dutch first year students than in 2025. At master level, Robotics grew by 69 percent, Electrical Engineering by 51 percent, Technical Medicine by 45 percent and Computer Science by 25 percent. Programmes linked to the Dutch semiconductor sector and the national Beethoven initiative together welcomed 496 new students, an increase of 11 percent.
Of the new bachelor students, 1,187 are Dutch and 999 are international, so international students make up 46 percent of the new bachelor cohort. A further 494 international students enrolled in master programmes. The university also said the number of its own bachelor graduates progressing directly to a Twente master fell by 10 percent, partly because of smaller bachelor cohorts in earlier years, and that growth from other groups more than compensated. The university notes that the number of young people in the eastern Netherlands is expected to decline in the coming years, making continued recruitment a priority.
