Travel & international mobility

International travel for students and staff
UM looks beyond national borders in terms of research and education. In doing so, UM takes into account government guidelines and general travel advice issued by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Guidelines for study-related travel for UM students can be found here. Staff can find the Guidelines for business trips for employees here on intranet. 

Travelling to Maastricht
Incoming students and staff can check which rules and regulations apply via this website. 

Work and study from home

In Phase IV Red, we all work and study from home again. In doing so, we all need to adapt both our work and our home situation, and balance our work and private lives. In order to support you, we will provide you with information about working and studying from home if this measure is put into place.
