Another successful Master's Open Day at Maastricht University
A large number of prospective master’s students braved the strong winds and occasional rain shower on Saturday to visit the Open Day at Maastricht University. More than 1300 visitors from 66 countries flocked to UM faculty buildings to find out more about the programmes on offer.
They visited the information markets and joined workshops, presentations and in-depth sessions on the individual programmes. They learned about Problem-Based Learning, the International Classroom and other key features of studying at Maastricht University (UM).
Of course, many took the opportunity to meet current UM students and get to know more about their experience with studying and living in Maastricht. UM staff were at hand to share information about applications and admissions and offer career advice. Finally, there were drinks and snacks to wrap up the day in an informal setting.
