About Eindhoven University of Technology
Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is a specialised technical university founded in 1956, ranked #152 globally by QS 2027, at the heart of the Brainport innovation hub.
Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) is a specialised technical university founded in 1956 in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. It was established through a collaboration between industry, local government, and academia, and today enrolls approximately 13,453 students across nine departments covering engineering, technology, and applied sciences.
TU/e's academic focus spans electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, industrial design, biomedical engineering, applied physics, chemical engineering, mathematics and computer science, and data science. The university is deeply embedded in the Brainport Eindhoven region, one of Europe's most concentrated high-tech innovation ecosystems, giving students direct exposure to companies such as ASML, Philips, and NXP Semiconductors through research partnerships and internships.
The campus sits within the city of Eindhoven, a medium-sized city in the south of the Netherlands with a strong international character driven by its technology industry. Approximately 37% of TU/e's student body is international. The university holds a QS World University Ranking of #=140 (2026 edition) and a Times Higher Education World University Ranking of joint 192nd (2026), making it one of the more highly ranked technical universities globally in its engineering and technology specialisations.

For Nepali students
- TU/e is a strong fit for Nepali students pursuing engineering or technology degrees, its programs in electrical engineering, computer science, data science, and mechanical engineering align directly with Nepal's fastest-growing graduate demand sectors, and the university's Brainport industry ties offer internship and thesis project access that few universities can match.
- Annual international undergraduate tuition is approximately €18,600 (around USD 20,000) for 2026–2027, which is high but comparable to other Dutch technical universities; the university offers its own excellence scholarships for master's students, and the Dutch government's NL Scholarship (€5,000 one-time, master's level) is also available to non-EEA applicants where programme eligibility applies.
- After completing a bachelor's or master's degree in the Netherlands, graduates from outside the EU can apply for the one-year Orientation Year (Zoekjaar) permit, which allows unrestricted work rights while searching for employment, a structured, well-established post-study work pathway that gives Nepali graduates a realistic route to highly skilled migrant status.
- With 37% international students and a significant South and East Asian postgraduate community built around Brainport's multinational workforce, Nepali students are unlikely to find themselves isolated; Eindhoven's cost of living is notably lower than Amsterdam or The Hague, easing financial pressure during study.
