Online Experience Day - Biomedical Sciences

You have registered for the online Experience Day in Biomedical Sciences. During the Experience Day you'll take part in an online tutorial session: you and other prospective students will discuss a problem ('case') in small groups. Don't worry, there will also be a tutor present to guide you.

The goal of this webpage is to prepare you for the online Experience Day:
  Read an overview of the programme
  Check out Maastricht University and its Problem-Based Learning teaching method
  Study the material prior to the online Experience Day, so you can participate in the online tutorial group session.
