It offers degrees in the fields of social sciences, exact sciences and is highly specialized in engineering. The UT collaborates with Delft University of Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology and the Wageningen University and Research Centre under the umbrella of 4TU and is also a partner in the European Consortium of Innovative Universities (ECIU). The UT is ranked 65th in the Reuters's 2017 European Most Innovative Universities, and, 153rd worldwide in 2018 according to the Times Higher Education magazine.[2] History{{Expand section|date=March 2018}}The university was founded in 1961 as Technische Hogeschool Twente. After Delft and Eindhoven, it was the third higher vocational institute of technology in the Netherlands to become a university. The institution was renamed to Universiteit Twente (University of Twente) in 1986. The Dutch government's decision to locate the university 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.[3] CampusThe University of Twente was built on the former country estate of Drienerlo, situated between Hengelo and Enschede. The 140-hectare estate consists of woodland, meadows and water. Architects Van Tijen and Van Embden designed the first — and so far only — Dutch campus university along American lines where students and staff live, work and pursue their leisure activities on campus.[4] 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 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.[5] Besides, over a hundred sports, cultural, international, social and business associations are part of the student life in the University of Twente. OrganizationAdministrationThe current director of the university is professor Thom Palstra. The other two members of the executive board are Victor van der Chijs (President Executive Board) and Mirjam Built-Spiering (Vice-President)[6] FacultiesThere are five Faculties at the University of Twente:
Each Faculty is in turn organized into several departments.[7] AcademicsResearchInstitutes
Knowledge and research centres
EducationThe degree programs at the University of Twente range from business administration and psychology to applied physics, engineering and biomedical technology. 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 programs (and several undergraduate programs) are taught entirely in English. Half of all PhD students at the UT now come from outside the Netherlands.{{citation needed|date=February 2018}} In the applied sciences, the emphasis is on nanotechnology, process technology, engineering, information and communication technology, and the biomedical sciences. The University of Twente sets great importance on the useful application of knowledge in the society. Patents, lifelong learning programs, and spin-off companies testify to this commitment, as does UT's intensive involvement in research programs that enhance knowledge infrastructure in the Netherlands. So far, the UT has produced over 1,000 spin-off companies; more than any other Dutch university.[8] UT is also one of the founders of Novel-T, formerly Stichting Kennispark Twente, a startup accelerator and support program for university spin-offs.[9][10] Rankings{{Infobox world university ranking| ARWU_W = 501–600 (2018) | ARWU_W_ref = [11] | THE_W = 184 (2019) | THE_W_ref = [12] | QS_W = 172 (2019) | QS_W_ref = [13] | USNWR_W = 336 (2019) | USNWR_W_ref = [14] }} The Leiden Ranking (2016) ranked the University of Twente 127 in Europe.[15] The Webometrics Ranking of World Universities (2016) ranked the University of Twente 215 overall in the world and 75 in Europe.[16] The 2016 QS World University Rankings ranked the University of Twente 177 overall in the world.[17] The 2017 Times Higher Education World University Rankings ranked the University of Twente 153 overall in the world.[18] Also, the University was ranked 82 overall in the world in the field of Engineering and technology and 61 in the field of Computer Science.[19] In 2016 Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) ranked the University of Twente 301-400 overall in the world.[20] The University of Twente also holds the title of the most entrepreneurial university in Netherlands and was voted the best Dutch university in the area of valorization.[21] Timeline of rectors
