Teaching methods
Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is an innovative, student-centred instructional method widely used at Maastricht University. Students work in tutorial groups, collaboratively seeking practical solutions to open-ended, real-world problems. Instructors act as facilitators, giving help when and where it is needed, allowing you to build independence and develop research skills.
Problem-Based Learning is a perfect fit for Health Sciences Research. The method’s stress on active participation, self-reliance and the use of real-world problems blends seamlessly into active health science research. From the first day, the programme employs the skills you will need as a professional health sciences researcher.
