Joel G
Netherlands, Undergraduate
Computer Science / IT, 2022
OverallMy program is called "Digital Society" (not listed on iAgora). It is a multi-disciplinary research bachelor that encourages us to learn the technical workings of specific technologies and research best practice applications. I have focused my research on AI, HealthTech, E-health, and blockchain. This programme is ideal for students who have a specific technology sector in mind that they want to become an expert in.

Overall
Maastricht University is widely recognized for its exceptional educational approach, centered around Problem-Based Learning (PBL). At the core of PBL, students actively participate in small group discussions, analyzing real-world problems and taking ownership of their learning. This dynamic and interactive method, coupled with a strong interdisciplinary focus, equips students with critical thinking skills and prepares them for real-world challenges.

Final comments
Personally, it was important to understand from the beginning that i would have had to change my way of thinking and behaving in the university environment. Moreover it has been crucial to learn to be open to the others and to be able to gain something from all the persons i met. Finally in every situation i learnt that i have to do my best if i really want to leave a mark.

Ilaria G
Italy, Graduate

Overall
The three-year bachelor's European Studies offered by Maastricht University is well structured and it offers the opportunity to take a semester abroad to complete an internship or an exchange program in the 3rd semester. The course is attended by around 350-400 international students per year, which gives the possibility to get to know fellows students from all over the world.
The BA courses are based on EU History, Politics and Economics, combined with Research and Writing courses to provide students with social sciences tools to collect, analyze data and to do research. At the end of every course, professors ask for advice to improve the structure and content every year, thus the courses may change every 1 or 2 years.
Some of the courses include excellent lectures given by experts in the field Professors are well qualified and available to students to help and guide them in the different fields of research thanks to their professional background.
The BA is based on the PBL system.

“Bachelor in European Studies at Maastricht University”
Matilde G
Italy,
European Studies, 2023
Overall
I recently graduated from a Bachelor in European Studies at Maastricht University. My journey in Maastricht was mind-opening given the great amount of international students that attend the university. We had the opportunity to study 'a bit of everything' especially during the second year and this really gave me the opportunity to understand what I like and what I do not enjoy studying.
