The University of Twente reported that 2,186 new bachelor’s students enrolled this academic year, an 8% increase on the previous year after several years of stable or falling intake. Technical programmes attracted particularly more students.

A later report put the total number of new students starting in September at almost 3,500 and said that almost half of new bachelor’s students came from abroad. The reports do not specify whether the total includes students other than new bachelor’s students.
