Introduction

Use your fascination for computers and technology to impact business and society.

Are you fascinated by computers, the science behind them, and what you can do with them? Do you enjoy programming, or are you eager to get started with it? Would you like to study computer science, while also gaining expertise in other essential fields, such as electrical engineering or business information technology? Do you see yourself becoming a technical computer scientist committed to societal improvements, for example in healthcare, finance, or the environment? If so, our three-year, English-taught Bachelor’s in Technical Computer Science (TCS) is the right choice for you.

Why study Technical Computer Science?

Combine computer science with other essential technical expertise.

In a Bachelor's, you will combine in-depth computer science with broad technical insights. You will soon understand the devices, services, and processes that people, companies, and organizations need to exchange, process, and store information. This program covers topics like Cyber Security, Data Science, and AI. This involves a lot of programming as well, so the better you are at mathematics, the more successful you will be in your studies.

In essence, you will learn to think like a computer scientist, distinguishing clearly and sharply what goes well and what goes wrong, and what can be improved between all the separate links a computer system is made of. At the same time, you will become an engineer, capable of applying the basic computer knowledge you acquire in virtually every area of life: from transport to business, from politics to leisure.

A study program with a lot of teamwork and practical application

Technical Computer Science plays a key role in more and more societal, scientific, and technical domains. That is why it is important to be able to work together with experts from other disciplines, from electrical engineers, business information technologists, and mechanical engineers to management experts. You will come across all these disciplines at the University of Twente. Interdisciplinary cooperation plays an important role in this program, both in the research you do and in the challenging team projects you complete each module with. In Module 2, for example, you and your team will design, test, and implement a game in which you compete against other teams – with the winners receiving bonus marks. And in Module 4, you get to work on a project taken from the business world.

An international program at a leading university of technology

An added benefit of our Bachelor’s Technical Computer Science is its international setting. The language of choice is English, we have an international staff – representing countries such as Germany, Italy, Brazil, and Romania – and around 40% of our students come from abroad. We focus strongly on intercultural skills, and if you want to follow courses abroad, we will help you. All in all, we offer a great place for you to gain valuable intercultural experience and prepare yourself for a career in a field that increasingly transcends the borders of countries, organizations, and cultures.

The optional added challenge of getting a double-degree

If you are sufficiently talented and ambitious, you can combine Technical Computer Science with our Bachelor’s in Applied Mathematics. If you choose this, you will follow a very demanding, combined program. After finishing this double degree program, you will receive two full bachelor's diplomas from the University of Twente. With some extra effort, this double bachelor’s can be completed in three years.
