Teenzcollege 2025

The past is never dead. It's not even past. (William Faulkner)

Are you looking for a new challenge in addition to your school work? Would you like to study at Maastricht University for a few days? Then you might be interested in Teenzcollege: an English-language programme for ambitious and talented high school students.

Teenzcollege puts major current themes in historical perspective, drawing parallels between primarily the Second World War and today’s day and age. Five faculties of Maastricht University provide lectures and assignments on various topics including populism, refugees, racism, alliances, money, power and evil. The past is used as a stepping stone: The past is never dead. It's not even past. (William Faulkner)

Fun fact: in 2023 Teenzcollege won the Wynand Wijnen Education award! Teenzcollege plays a vital role in getting young people involved in university early. The program not only encourages academic curiosity, but also helps foster a positive relationship between the university and young talent in our region.
