How does it work?

Together with a current student, you will attend classes and participate in a tutorial group meeting. You will also get the chance to have in-depth discussions with tutors and other students. This will help you find out whether the study is right for you. The student who accompanies you will also try to give you an accurate impression of Venlo student life.

Maastricht Centre for the Innovation of Classical Music
Pandhof Sint-Servaas Basilica Maastricht
3 September 2021, 14:00-17:00

The significance of bells as music and sound in public space was the central theme during a study day on 3 September, organised by the Maastricht Centre for the Innovation of Classical Music of Maastricht University (www.mcicm.nl). The occasion for the study day was a concert by philharmonie zuidnederland on the same day which included the world premiere of the composition Rublev & Rembrandt written by the Russian composer Olga Victorova. In it, the carillon expresses the connection between the (sound) worlds of the Netherlands and Russia (www.philharmoniezuidnederland.nl).

The study day took place in the Pandhof
of the Basilica of St. Servatius in Maastricht.

The program consisted of short lectures by Karin Bijsterveld (Maastricht University), Peter Peters (Maastricht University), Luc Rombouts (city carillonneur Tienen and university carillonneur Leuven) and Dyon Scheijen (Adelante Hoensbroek). Carillonneur Frank Steijns and violinist Lin Jong also gave a short concert from the tower of St. Servaas Basilica.

The lectures of each speaker are below. Because all presentations took place in Dutch, the lectures are also in Dutch.

'The bell and the clapper: How do you investigate a soundscape?' by Karin Bijsterveld
'The new usefulness of old bells' by Luc Rombouts
'Sounding like a bell: bells in classical music' by Peter Peters
'Hearing is more than our ears: what our brain does with sound' by Dyon Scheijen

After finishing my Nutrition and Health bachelor at Wageningen University, I started a two-year master’s programme at that same university. During an exchange period in Denmark, I was doing a sports minor and realized this was the component I was missing.

Growing up in a multicultural environment I was attracted by the international character of Maastricht University. I also chose the city of Maastricht because of its compact size and overall safe feeling.

During the Health Education and Promotion master’s programme I hope to learn about interventions and promotion to change people’s behaviour. I am intrigued by the barriers or thresholds that are keeping people from navigating through the healthcare system seamlessly. For example, why are so many women not entering the breast cancer screening?

I was born and raised in Madrid, Spain, and have always wanted to go abroad to study in an international, English-speaking environment. After looking at different options, I chose Maastricht University and its Problem Based Learning system. I consider myself to be a visual and practical learner and thought this way of learning would suit me better than the more traditional method. The combination of the content of the master’s and the PBL system were the two main reasons for me to stay in Maastricht after my bachelor’s.

Before coming to Maastricht, I worked in an environmental microbiology lab for two years and in a covid related PCR lab for one year. I am mostly interested in environmental health/environmental epidemiology and find research in epidemiology very interesting.

During my Bachelor in Biomedical Sciences, I learned about the molecular processes and their underlying mechanisms in the human body. As this study was more focused on the researching aspect, I decided to start Master’s Programme in Governance and Leadership in European Public Health to get more practical skills. After finishing this programme, I will know how to monitor high-level decision-making processes in EU institutions and develop policies. In addition, I will gain knowledge on how to be a good leader and a manager.

I want to make the lives of patients better, so I started a nursing education in Greece. But I soon realised that patient contact was not my strong point. I want to unravel the body and I am fascinated by how every system is connected and how the whole body can be affected when one thing goes wrong. In this bachelor’s in Biomedical Science, I can focus on the things I love, like research in biology and chemistry without having to worry about the clinical side of things.

European Public Health is a very international programme that inspires to promote health care, access to health care and healthier lifestyles.
