Excellent atmosphere
TU/e has a welcoming, open atmosphere where any student can feel at home. Not only do we have a challenging, personal and hands-on educational approach and inspiring connections with industry, the province of Brabant is known throughout the Netherlands and abroad for its uniquely warm and friendly culture. Because almost everybody in the Netherlands speaks English at a high level, our international students can enjoy this excellent atmosphere just as much.
Studying in the Netherlands is a great choice – high-quality education and low tuition fees in one of the safest countries in the world. But TU/e offers even more: thriving communities, excellent facilities, and the charms of Eindhoven as a lively, exciting student city. The best way to enjoy all these experiences is, of course, to move here. Read our housing page to find out how you can best do that.
Thriving communities
A university is where people get to know themselves and make friends for life. One of the best ways to do that is by joining one – or more! – of our thriving communities.
Whether you are looking for a formal or informal community, something to do with your studies or your hobbies, a sport or a craft, or something completely different, you will find like-minded people at TU/e. Eindhoven has around 100 societies – 39 sporting societies, 11 cultural societies and 9 international societies, just to get started. In addition, there are study associations, student associations, student project teams and associations where you can go just to have fun. Our Community listing has a powerful search function that will help you find what you need.
