Working out the PBL case

Bonus information
UM and COVID-19
You probably have a lot of questions about studying at Maastricht University during these times of COVID-19. That is why we have set up a web page with all kinds of corona related information, from our (online) education to the extensive safety measures that have been taken.
We also listed all the COVID-19 related FAQ that you as a prospective student and applicant might have.
Student vlogs
Students Inés and Dimitri tell you in short videos about what they think of PBL, what they would do to make a good study choice, and what the atmosphere is like in Maastricht and on campus.
What do you like about PBL?
"It's really active learning. It's not just like sitting there and listening to someone talking. It's really interacting with people. And since it's a small group, it's a lot more personal." That, and more.
What can help me with my study choice?
(Virtual) open days, (virtual) experience days, talking to current students... But don't forget to discuss it with your family and friends!
What is (living in) Maastricht like?
How is Maastricht as a city? Plenty of pubs and students? And what about the atmosphere at the health campus? Plenty of study places and food shops?
A virtual health campus tour
Would you like to see what the UM health campus looks like? The inside of the buildings, the student canteen, the lecture halls, the tutorial rooms, the labs, the library, the outside grounds?

Benefits of your study association 'Pulse'
One of Pulse's many tasks is the evaluation and improvement of the education programmes. Furthermore, they offer activities related to education such as workshops, lectures and information drinks.
Next to education-related activities, they also organise other activities such as Course Opening Parties, a yearly excursion, a yearly gala, and other fun activities.
Finally, they provide course manuals for the first year. And a membership of Pulse gives you discount on the purchase of books.
Make Maastricht yours!
MyMaastricht.nl is the one-stop information platform to help students find their way in the city. Their content covers Health, Transport, Housing and Finances as well as Sports, Media and Community in Maastricht. They work with Maastricht University and the Maastricht municipality to help give students the best start to their life in the city.
Your next step
We hope that you know now if this is the right programme for you.
