Looking forward to the new academic yearEveryone | 19 June 2020 At MSP we are committed to give you the best educational experience possible within the current restrictions. We are actively examining different types of multi-location collaboration to see which methods work best for student learning. We understand that not all of you can be in Maastricht when classes begin in September, but we still want to ensure that you are supported by and connected with the programme. The educational experience will be a mix of offline and online components; some activities will take place in our buildings (practical work), while other activities may be online (lecture sessions). The exact mix will depend on the module in which you are enrolled and the activities employed by the course. Whether you can be physically present in Maastricht or not, we will make sure that you can start education and continue to work toward your degree in the new academic year. |

Save the date: Bachelor Introduction DaysProspective students | 19 June 2020 The MSP Introduction Days will take place on the 24, 25, 26 and 27 August 2020. The MSP Introduction Period gives you all the necessary information to successfully start your studies at MSP and is mandatory for all incoming students. This year, the MSP Introduction Period is spread over four days: 24, 25, 26 and 27 August. Due to COVID-19, this year our Introduction Days will be structured differently: On campus if you can, online if you have to. What does this mean for you? Parts of the information you would normally get in-person, are now offered online in the form of videos. During the month of August we will share these videos with you followed by optional online Q&A sessions. You can watch these videos any time that is convenient for you before August 24. Please make sure that you watch the videos before the start of the Introduction Days. The goal of the MSP Introduction Period is that, via on- and offline sessions, you are introduced to the Maastricht University teaching method PBL (Problem-Based Learning), Liberal Arts and Sciences education, the different offices at MSP and our lab facilities at the Chemelot campus. You will also get to know Maastricht University, its electronic facilities and the city of Maastricht. Moreover, it is a great opportunity to ‘meet’ your fellow students and MSP staff! The final programme will be shared with you in a few weeks. |
We wish you happy holidays and look forward to meeting you on Monday 24 August.
