Online Master Open Day attracts many visitors
With over twice as many visitors as usual, Saturday's online version of the Master Open Day was another success. The interest came from over 100 countries. The top 5: the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Italy and Spain. The United Kingdom, previously one of the leading countries, dropped way down for understandable reasons.
Two-thirds of the 4185 registered visitors actually showed up online on Saturday. That percentage is comparable to the last time the Master Open Day was held physically. In the days before, over a thousand people came for a sneak preview, as the platform was already open last Tuesday. In total, the spring edition of the event attracted 3781 visitors.
On average, people visited 8 pages. They took their time to absorb the information: about 15 minutes per page. Several hundred people filled in the feedback form, giving the day an approval rating of 8.3, which the organisation can be satisfied with. On the day itself the sessions received a score of 8.9.
Registered participants can still visit the platform until Tuesday, 16 March. This allows them to revisit the programme presentation videos and a number of Q&As.
Next Master's Open Day
If you missed the Master’s Open Day on Saturday, you may want to block your calendar for the next Master's Open Day, scheduled for 6 November 2021.
