BSc Psychology - No longer avaialble for new students

Unfortunately, the University of Twente is no longer able to offer pathway options for students wishing to progress to Psychology. This is because the University is introducing a cap on the number of students on certain programmes. This cap will be valid as of September 2022.

Students enrolled in Twente Pathway College (TPC) will still be able to apply to the University of Twente’s selection process for a place in capped programme, however there will be no guaranteed progression following successful completion of your foundation programme.

Any students who have already accepted an offer to study at TPC with Technical Computer Science or Psychology will not be affected by this change. You will be able to progress to the programme of your choice in September 2022 without being impacted by this cap on numbers.
