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.
