Types of graduate programmes

The diversity of students at Maastricht University is not only a reflection of its quality and location but also of the diversity of programmes offered. Across the internationally accredited, award-winning faculties, Maastricht University has striven to offer the widest range of graduate programmes possible to suit all major areas of study. We also work to offer programmes for full-time students as well as practicing professionals.


A notable element of our programmes that sets them apart from other continental European universities is that nearly all of the graduate programmes are offered in English.

We offer the following types of graduate programmes and PhDs:


  • Master's programmes that culminate in an MSc, MA, LLM or MD degree
  • Graduate programmes for professionals (degree and non-degree programmes)
  • PhD programmes
