Universiteit Maastricht

Improving your critical thinking skills


MARBLE (Maastricht Research Based Learning) is aimed at enabling highly motivated and capable students to focus more in depth on the academic research of the different departments. During this research track you will be introduced in the theories of the discipline and its research methodology. Furthermore, you will be able to conduct your own research. The competences you acquire in this track can be used in either a research career, or as a business analyst.


The Marble programme is funded by the Dutch Government as part of the Sirius programme and Maastricht University. Students interested in a research career can visit the site of the research school METEOR, or find more information about a Phd track at the SBE.
