FASoS Student Ambassadors
Welcome to the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASoS). We offer you bachelor's and (pre-)master’s programmes in the field of Politics & Governance, Arts & Culture, Globalisation & Development or Media, Technology & Innovation. One of the master's programmes is also partly offered in Dutch.
Our current student ambassadors have set up their own programme Instagram page, so you can follow their daily lives as a student and ask them any questions you may have about their experience with the programme and their life in Maastricht. You can find their contact details below or read their blogs.
If you are interested in one of our programmes you can meet us in person at the Bachelor's or Master’s Open Day. We look forward to meet you there or online!

Bachelor's programmes
Fleur Verhees, Student Ambassador Arts and Culture
"I chose the Arts and Culture programme because it offers a very unique experience through its diverse environment, the PBL system, and the fact that the study is interdisciplinary."
Nelly Molnárová, Student Ambassador European Studies
“The balance in European Studies is created by studying history, politics, law, and economics alongside one another. This ensures that we understand Europe in all of its complexity.”
Zeynep Ertanoglu, Student Ambassador Digital Society
“Digital society is the perfect blend of creativity with technology that lets us study the language of our generation.”

"I’m passionate about exploring the world and contributing to positive change. Global Studies’ interdisciplinary approach equips me to explore diverse cultures and tackle today’s wicked problems."
Natalia Vilches, BA Student on TikTok
"Maastricht is the ideal place to study European Studies, it’s multicultural, innovative, and inspiring. So far, I’ve gained new perspectives and made friends from across Europe, and I’m beginning to build the skills I need to address today’s European challenges with confidence."
Master's programmes

“What I love most about CAST is the freedom to explore my interests while being supported by inspiring researchers. It gives you the tools and connections to shape your path and grow as a researcher from day one.”
Chiara Mupo, Student Ambassador European Public Affairs
"The key strength of EPA is the chance to learn practical job skills directly from insiders, through a variety of teaching methods and connecting with the professional world in Brussels. What I love the most is the interactive and collaborative environment with international classmates, making the learning process effective and much more fun."
Diana Pica, Student Ambassador European Studies on Society, Science and Technology

Noemi Meloni, Student Ambassador Research Master European Studies
"I think the most valuable part of this programme is that we're not just treated as students, but as researchers in training. The programme really immerses you in the research world from day one."
