How to come to Eindhoven / EURANDOM (car / train / air)

Eindhoven University of Technology is situated in the city of Eindhoven.

By car
It can be reached easily by car from the highways leading to Eindhoven (for details, see our route descriptions or consult our map with highway connections).

By train
You can reach the university quite easily by train. The university campus is situated near the railway (and bus) station. Leaving the platform, you go down the stairs and turn to the right. You leave the station on the north side, facing the bus station. The university buildings are situated to the north-east and are about ten minutes walk.
Use the on-line international time table of the Dutch railways (called NS) for international train connections to Eindhoven.

By air
Eindhoven has an international airport with direct connections to several European airports  and a frequent service to Amsterdam Airport (Schiphol).
For other possibilities consult: airlines

Train connection from Amsterdam airport to Eindhoven
In the main building of the Amsterdam airport (Schiphol) you will find the entrance of the railway station and ticket offices. The big yellow NS (NS is the Dutch abbreviation for Dutch railways) signs indicate platform number and time tables. The Dutch railways have an on-line time table in English (enter "Schiphol" for Amsterdam airport) which also indicates platform numbers and final destinations of trains.
From Schiphol you can
1. take the train to Amsterdam Central Station. This train runs four times per hour. At Amsterdam Central Station you head for Spoor 2b (platform 2b). From this platform trains leave for Maastricht and Heerlen via Eindhoven twice an hour.
2. take the train from Amsterdam/Schiphol to Eindhoven (main direction Utrecht/ Eindhoven / sometimes also Maastricht) via "Duivendrecht" (main direction Amersfoort, Enschede, Groningen or Lelystad). Note that Duivendrecht is a small railway station consisting of two floors. In Duivendrecht there is a direct train to Eindhoven (main direction Utrecht/ Eindhoven / sometimes also Maastricht) if you go one floor up to platform 8; you only have a few minutes to change trains. If you miss this connection, you will have to wait for the next opportunity, in about 20 minutes.  (Note: take care of your luggage because there are a lot of pickpockets.)
It takes slightly more than one and a half hours to get to Eindhoven. A single ticket Schiphol-Eindhoven costs  17,50 euro.
