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!
