Translations
An increasing number of students from all over the world are arriving in Enschede to study at the University of Twente. These days, not all members of associations may speak Dutch. But, next to that, certain documents must be made up in Dutch to abide by Dutch law. This means it is useful to have important messages, documents and website available in English and Dutch. We offer a maximum amount of 350 euros per year for translations.
