Sources

  • Bachelor programmes catalogue https://www.utwente.nl/en/education/bachelor/programmes/

    The University of Twente bachelor catalogue presents bachelor's programmes as separate three-year BSc routes with admission to the selected programme.

    The source is used for bachelor duration and for the program-choice boundary: the main field is chosen at admission, not as a later main-field choice inside a broad degree.

  • Bachelor minor space https://www.utwente.nl/en/education/electives/minor/

    The minor section says that in most study programmes the first half year of the third year, modules 9 and 10, is filled with two packages of 15 ECTS.

    Students may choose a minor in their own programme, at another University of Twente faculty or outside the university.

    This confirms programChoice 1: the main programme remains fixed, but enrolled students have a smaller selectable component inside the normal bachelor's volume.

  • Minor at another institution https://www.utwente.nl/en/education/electives/minor/offer/minor-elsewhere/

    The page describes filling the minor space through study abroad or study at another Dutch educational institution.

    For Dutch institutions, students search for options on Kies op Maat, download the learning agreement and obtain prior approval from the examination board.

    Together with the Kies op Maat platform, this source is used for courseChoice 4: external module choice is part of the ordinary minor space, although it requires prior approval.

  • Kies op Maat inter-university choice platform https://www.kiesopmaat.nl/

    Kies op Maat describes the choice of modules and courses at other Dutch higher education institutions for bachelor's and master's students.

    The platform says that after the learning agreement is signed, the student knows in advance that the selected module will be recognised by the home programme.

    For the matrix, this confirms external choice of modules and courses through a regular inter-university mechanism, not only a study-abroad semester.

  • THE World University Rankings 2026 https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/2026/world-ranking

    The official THE World University Rankings 2026 table is used for the University of Twente position in the batch source.

    The stored value follows the source rule and is normalised as 190. This source is not used for the flexibility coordinates.

  • QS profile for University of Twente https://www.topuniversities.com/universities/university-twente

    The QS profile for the QS World University Rankings 2027 cycle reports 11,328 total students and UG students at 58.9%. On that basis, undergraduateEnrollment is calculated as 6,672 students.

    The official UT Facts & Figures 2025 page reports total student enrollment, but does not split it by bachelor and master. In the Dutch model, UG is interpreted as bachelor level; the specialist category does not apply.
