At the University of Twente, Sports & Culture form a vibrant and essential part of campus life.
The Sports Centre is the organizational hub for all sports-related activities on campus. The facilities include a fully equipped Fitness Centre, various sports halls, a climbing and bouldering wall, a dojo, and a swimming pool. To support your full experience, the Sports Centre also offers dressing rooms with showers and lockers, a cozy Sports Canteen, and medical services such as physiotherapy, medical fitness, and chair massage. All swimming lessons are provided by the UT Zwemschool.
Just a short walk away, Vrijhof is the cultural heart of the university. It houses theaters, creative studios, exhibition spaces, a theater café, and even the University Library. The Vrijhof Culture Department organizes professional performances, exhibitions, and cultural activities both inside and outside the building—turning the entire campus into a stage. Whether you're an artist, a performer, or simply curious, the Vrijhof Culture staff are here to help you explore everything culture has to offer.
