Transnationale Universiteit Limburg FAQ

But first, what is the Transnationale Universiteit Limburg (tUL)?

As you may have guessed, tUL translates to 'transnational university of Limburg'. Launched in 2001, the tUL is a unique collaboration between two universities in two countries, namely Hasselt University (Belgium) and Maastricht University (the Netherlands). 

As tUL, these universities have collaboratively launched new educational programmes as well as research projects. The MSc Artificial Intelligence, MSc Data Science for Decision Making and MSc Biomedical Sciences are such programmes. However, all three programmes are fully taught at Maastricht University.
