Learning to learn
Knowledge is key to human development. With the increasing complexity of global society, development has become critically dependent on well-trained knowledge workers. But, in our ever changing society, knowledge workers need to learn continuously. That's why we need to prepare our students by teaching them how to learn. They need to learn how to tap knowledge from many sources and how to apply such knowledge to problems – either in a global, national or local context.
Since its foundation in the 1970s, Maastricht University has applied Problem-Based Learning (PBL) as educational approach consistently in all its programmes. In our view, PBL and related approaches present an evidence-based way to leave our students well-prepared for a career in tomorrow's knowledge society.
