Master's Open Day: the weather was dry; the presentations certainly were not

On Saturday 28 February, prospective master's students visited Maastricht University’s Master's Open Day to explore our programmes and Problem-Based Learning approach. The weather wasn’t exactly sunny, but at least it stayed dry. Luckily, “the presentations were inspirational and not dry at all”, as was reported by one of the visitors.

Turnout was slightly higher than last year, which led to a pleasant atmosphere, happy visitors and content staff. Visitors participated in workshops and information sessions across all six faculties, engaging with student ambassadors and alumni about several topics such as admission, registration and career prospects.

Positive visitor feedback

A successful event, according to the organisers, and attendee feedback was equally positive. Participants praised the friendliness of staff and student ambassadors, the inspirational and informative nature of the presentations, and the overall atmosphere. 

One of the visitors responded: “The atmosphere was great, everyone was very friendly and it was all very interesting!” Overall ratings for the sessions exceeded 8.3 out of 10. Most of the prospective students had learned a great deal from the open day: “The presentations of the studies did give very good insights.” They see the event as a valuable opportunity to explore their academic journey at Maastricht University.
