What can you expect from UM students?
- they are equipped with a solid mix of academic knowledge and have a hands-on mentality, enabling them to make a smooth transition from their studies to your organisation

Both elements are key tenets of our innovative education model Problem-Based Learning which teaches our students the practical application of theory and provides them with excellent analytical, project management and communication skills
- they are accustomed to working in our International Classroom, the tutorial groups in which they work and study with people from different cultural backgrounds and learn to approach issues from a variety of perspectives. This makes them well-prepared for the rapid changes in today’s globalising labour market
- our students and graduates are up to speed with the latest techniques and developments in your field

- you need to arrange a workplace for our students according to the standards and norms of your organisation
- you are required to support the student when needed; the required support is explained in the regulations per programme
