School introduction
Twente University (Dutch) is located in enschede, the largest city in the east of the Netherlands, two hours' drive from Amsterdam. It is Holland 13 (another open university belongs to the category of national research university, but it has not been recognized by the Ministry of Education of China). And another top private business school in the Netherlands, which is not state-owned, but is recognized by the Ministry of Education and regarded as a research university) is one of the national key research universities and directly under the Ministry of Education of the Netherlands.

Trent University was jointly founded by the Dutch government and the Ministry of Industry in 196 1. Its predecessor was Technische Hogeschool Twente, the third specialized higher technical college in the Netherlands, which was upgraded to a comprehensive university by the Dutch Ministry of Education. The establishment of Tongda has greatly promoted the adjustment of industrial structure and the development of high technology in the eastern part of the Netherlands. At the same time, as the closest Dutch research university to West Germany, Tunda University is also of great significance in promoting educational and scientific exchanges between universities in Tunte area and West Germany. Dongda University holds many high-level academic seminars every year. Trent University is also a member of 3TU, the three top universities of science and technology in the Netherlands, and the European Union of Innovative Universities.
Trent University is a world leader in nanotechnology, integrated circuit design, chemical engineering and other fields, covering science, engineering, literature, management and other disciplines. The most prominent feature of Dongda University is its enterprise orientation. The university will support its graduates and faculty to set up companies with development potential and cooperate closely with Tunte Science Industrial Park.

The original 10 departments of Trent University (6 departments of engineering technology and 4 departments of social management) were reorganized and integrated into 5 colleges (3 colleges of engineering technology and 2 schools of behavior management) with reference to the structure of American universities, and then merged into 6 colleges (ITC), forming 6 colleges of Trent University.
campus life
Due to the long history and academic tradition of higher education, most research universities in the Netherlands do not have a unified campus. Trent University is the only modern university in the Netherlands with an American campus [10]. The university covers an area of about 350 mu, equivalent to 2000 mu.

All postgraduate courses are taught in English. Some top MSc and PhD programs are closely related to the research center of the university, such as nanotechnology (MESA+), teletype information technology (CTIT), biomedical technology (BMTI), mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering and control (IMPACT), government research (IGS) and behavior research (BR). During 20 10, ITC- International College of Geographic Information Science and Earth Observation officially became the sixth college of Trent University, providing international education, research and specialized services in the fields of geographic information science and Earth observation through remote sensing and GIS.
Unlike many football fields with a long history in the Netherlands, enschede Stadium of Trent University was built in March 1998, and it is the home of the local derwent Football Club. Enschede Stadium is a completely modern stadium with the most advanced geothermal system in the world, which can accommodate up to 65,438+03,500 spectators and enjoy high-level competitions.
