Experience Day Biomedical Sciences

You have registered for the Experience Day of Biomedical Sciences. During the Experience Day, you'll participate in your very first Problem-Based Learning session; in small groups, you and other prospective students will discuss a problem ('case'). Don't worry, there will also be a tutor present to guide you.

The goal of this webpage is to prepare you for the Experience Day:
  you can find an overview of the programme
  you can check out Maastricht University and its teaching method
  you'll find the study materials which we kindly ask you to prepare prior to the Experience Day
