Eindhoven University Of Technology, Eindhoven Ranking 2026 from QS, THE & US NEWS

• About 50–70% of students secure a job within six months. €45,000–60,000 per year
• Internships & Thesis Projects: These often lead directly to job offers when companies like ASML, Philips, and Linkedin, Networking, Career events.
• ASML, Philips, DAF Trucks, NXP Semiconductors, Tesla, TNO, Uber, Prodrive, Vanderlande, Nexperia, Nike, Ebusco, Fastned, ABN Amro

• I chose an off-campus accommodation, as TU/e has limited on-campus housing options, and most students live in private rental housing or in shared accommodation.
• I used a combination of online platforms and student networks: Some examples of websites which can be helpful are : HousingAnywhere, Kamernet, Pararius, TU/e’s official housing partners - Vestide and SSH, Facebook groups (e.g., "Indians in Eindhoven", "TU/e Housing 2025 Intake")
• Eindhoven is struggling with a housing shortage, especially rentals, due to certain laws for landlords. Hence spots fill up very fast (especially during summer here in July–August).
• Main things which people should be aware of is there are various fake listings on Facebook—always verify landlord identity and never send money without a contract. Do not send any payment or give your bank details.
• For housing agencies like SSH and Vestide and H2S, they generally offer lottery-based schemes; hence, spots are not guaranteed for everyone.
• My recommendation would be to start the search early, perhaps in April/May/June. Sometimes you need to pay a month or two of rent even though you are not living there; there; just take it. Use verified sources and avoid sending money through social media without contracts. Be open to temporary accommodation for 1–2 months and search again after arrival.
• My accommodation was 3.3 km from TU Eindhoven. Generally, students stay within 5-6km radius of the University

• Most students I know find a job within six months after finishing their master’s, probably around 80 to 90%. Even those who take a bit longer usually land something eventually. The starting salary for fresh graduates is generally between €2500 and €3500 per month (gross), but it also depends on the role and your background.
• A lot of people get hired through internships, since many of them turn into full-time offers. Networking helps a lot because there are so many companies based around the vicinity of Eindhoven. Some students find jobs through university job fairs or career platforms like Euflex, or they just apply normally online.
• From my group, many got into top companies like ASML, Philips, ABN AMRO, NXP, and many other such big companies. The opportunities are really nice if you’re a bit active and keep exploring.

• I was searching for accommodations through online housing portals on websites like Holland2Stay and Vestide, which is when I got an email from the university to register for the university housing lottery, where I can select my preferences for my room and if I am lucky, I will get housing. Within 1 month of registering, I got the lottery along with 90 per cent of the people.
• I got it in a place called VB student housing which is 3 km from the university and is a newly constructed building for students. The rent accounts for up to 650 euros, including services and utilities. The building has facilities such as a table tennis court, laundry, and a gym, and vast spaces such as a lounge and outdoor seating areas for students to chill and meet with their friends.
• I have my own room where I share the kitchen and bathroom with a few other students in my cluster. One recommendation would be to be proactive and not lose any opportunity in procuring housing, as it is very difficult in the netherlands.

• The university doesn't provide you placements like typically in India. It is entirely different; they do organise some events for three days during March where you can introduce yourself to companies (around 200) that you like and can ask about the opportunities.
• Students usually get their jobs through connections, linkedin, Glassdoor. The average salary for a controls engineer with a master's degree is 3K ~ 4K per month. Some people also get their jobs through consultancies.

• I did try to find rooms using popular dutch platforms like H2S, friendly housing, facebook but i was unfortunate with these platforms. Finally i got my room through a lottery draw from the university itself. The university will ask if you would like to participate in the housing lottery (it doesn't mean you will get a house for sure).
• I do pay 650 EUr per month, where i do share a kitchen and bathroom with 8 other students. The rooms are for one student, which is like 20 m². The general housing would provide water, gas and internet. Since my room was furnished, i didn't have to buy a bed, table, chairs, etc.
• To be frank, getting accommodation in the Netherlands is complicated. The dutch law doesn't allow more students to stay in a single house. So typically, there are no special treatments for international students and even the university implies the housing crisis right from the date of your acceptance email.
• Try to find some indian groups through Facebook or whatsapp (but to be frank, even indians charge a hefty amount for rent, taking advantage of the situation). So pay for some premium services for the common housing platforms and you will be lucky. Try to reach out to fellow students on LinkedIn and do not get scammed by Facebook ads.
• My accommodation is 15 mins away by bike ride (cycle) from the university. For the rest of the question, it is not known to my knowledge since everyone lives under different roofs.

• From the agency, I have heard a lot of international students leave the country to work in germany, france or nearby EU states rather than the Netherlands. However, people in engineering can expect good job opportunities with a starting salary of about 3200 euros/month gross. People can usually find jobs via linkedin, and agencies like EuFlex, Yacht, YER technology, etc.
• There is also a yearly campus career expo which I highly recommend joining, with a lot of companies interested in hiring students. Major companies are TNO, ASML, DAF, VDL, etc. I am currently working at ASML myself, hired via EuFlex.

• Now this aspect is the most challenging and worst of them all so far. It is really a bad situation to find a place to stay. I had to look at multiple online sites, ask people and subscribe to multiple tools to find a place. Most efficient way is to look for agencies for these things and maybe facebook, some online posting sites. It is hard to find a studio or apartment within 1000 euros a month in eindhoven, Therefore, most people have only rooms with shared spaces like kitchens.
• I found a room with a private bathroom and shared kitchen for 740 euros/month rent in the outskirts of tilburg city. It is 1 hour away with public transportation from my college. I recommend looking for houses in nearby towns and cities (NOT IN EINDHOVEN) and using agencies' sites, not posting sites where you have to pay. There is only 1 good place in "kamer".

• Most students in my batch got placed within 6 months to a year. I don't have an exact number. For most master's graduates, the starting pay is between 40000-45000 euros p.a.
• There isn't any campus recruitment for master's students. A lot of students get placed in the company where they did their internships or thesis. There are however Campus visits by the representatives of a lot of companies where you can meet and exchange numbers and submit your resume.
• Most students, however, get a job by directly applying for it online, either directly on the companies' career pages or through job portals like linkedin. The automotive campus in Helmond also has fairs where students can visit and meet recruiters from different companies working there.
• A lot of my friends got placed in DAF trucks. VDL, NXP systems and ASML are also popular companies where a lot of Eindhoven university of technology graduated get placed.

• I got accommodation off campus. I got a studio from a housing agent called 'Holland2Stay', which is the most popular way to get housing in Eindhoven. My monthly rent was around 800 euros. It was a fully furnished studio apartment. It had all the required furnishing like tables, chairs, sofas and beds. The kitchen had all the appliances like a stove, oven, refrigerator and cutlery. Internet was included in the rent. Hearing, water and garbage disposal were not included.
• The Netherlands has an extreme housing shortage. So most students have to rely on a 'lottery system' to get accommodation. Meaning, out of hundreds of people that apply for a house, one person is randomly chosen. This is a big challenge if you don't get lucky.
• I recommend the future students either not consider the Netherlands (only due to the housing situation) or start looking for housing 1 year in advance!
• My studio was within a kilometre from the university.

• About 75 percent of students secured employment within 6 months of graduation. This number was lower due to the fact that most students from my batch graduated during peak covid season (July-August 2020). Major companies that hire from Eindhoven University of Technology are ASML, Philips, DAF, NXP Semiconductors etc.
• Average salary range is between 45,000 and 60,000€ per year for a master's graduate; it changes based on the year and market.

• My accommodation was off campus; I did not get it from the university. I was lucky to find accommodation 1.5km from campus but others were less lucky. University has added more student housing on the campus so future students can find it easier.
• Finding houses in the Netherlands is tough; you have to be early, otherwise you don't get it. Keep applying and you are bound to get something.

• Most students who complete their Bachelor's enrol in a Master's directly so the number is unknown to me. Average salary range, I would suspect, is 3-3.5k euros per month upon graduation. Students have to apply for jobs themselves and it can be quite difficult if they don't speak Dutch, have no internships or any professional work experience, etc.
• Online job portals work best. There are no placements here. The biggest companies in the area are ASML, Shell, Philips, Siemens, Rabobank, ABN AMRO, KPMG, Deloitte, etc.

• I found my accommodation through university support, apart from which it was extremely stressful. The monthly rent at that time was about 450-650 euros per month per head and this included gas, water, electricity, etc. There are several challenges that one faces when their contract expires, even if they are still studying (uni sometimes only offers 2-year contracts) and then it's a real struggle for internationals.
• My best recommendation would be to only come to the country if you already find an accommodationotherwise you will be literally homeless and that is not a good situation to start your university life in
• Accommodations are usually on or within a 1.5km radius of campus; most indian students obtain these accommodations or have to live quite far (from 3 to 10 km) in housing offered by third-party companies.

• Currently the job market is not so good here in Netherlands due to budget cuts, hiring freeze,  financial crunch, etc. There is also no campus placement available and one has to search for a job on his own.
• The average salary range can be found online. Internships, doing your thesis in a company is a good way to network with people and look for a potential job. ASML, Philips, NXP, Accenture, VDL, Alten, TNO, etc. are some places where graduates are hired.

• I found accommodation through the university lottery. I also used online platforms. My accommodation is off-campus
• My monthly rent is 650 euros which includes basic rent plus gas, water, electricity and internet, service cost
• It is very difficult to find accommodation in the Netherlands due to housing crisis. So the landlord has more power here than the tenant. 
• Start looking for accommodation through online platforms, facebook groups (beware of scammers but some are genuine) even though there is a university lottery. One is not guaranteed housing through the lottery.
• It is 3.5 km away and it takes 20 min by bicycle. Quite a lot of students live on campus. Majority of Indian students live off-campus.

1. Due to corona everyone had a hard time getting one but those who did their interships or thesis in a company got picked up easily.
2. For masters the minimum wage is 2800 per month.
3. There are no placements, usually companies as I mentioned if you interned there will hire you or you just apply.

4. ASML, DAF, TMC, Volvo, etc. There are a lot though.

• Like I said, university does help for the first year atleast which was minimum 700 euros per month basic rent. It included electricity and water. It also depends on place to place if your washing machine charge is included or not.
• My first accommodation was just opposite the campus, a 5 min walk where I stayed for one year.
