Why did you choose to study Media Studies: Digital Cultures in Maastricht?

“I chose this programme because I’m really interested in the multidisciplinary approach it offers. I enjoy a wide range of subjects, especially in social sciences and humanities, like psychology and media technologies. This programme perfectly blends those fields, which is why I wanted to study here.”

Why did you choose to study Globalisation and Development Studies in Maastricht?

“I had a few friends who studied here and did the same programme. They told me Maastricht University is very international, which really appealed to me. I also wanted to broaden my horizons after doing my bachelor’s in sociology in India, so Maastricht felt like the right place for both academic and personal growth. Another big advantage was that all the courses are taught in English, unlike in some other countries.”     

Why did you choose to do a research master’s in European Studies in Maastricht?

“I chose to do a research master’s in European Studies in Maastricht because of its international environment and strong focus on EU-related matters. I loved the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) system during my bachelor’s here and wanted to continue with it. The programme is highly specialised, offering unique preparation in this niche field of political science. Through this programme, I also hope to gain a clearer idea of the kind of research I want to pursue, as well as more exposure to the job market through an internship or study abroad opportunity.”

Why did you choose to study European Studies on Society, Science and Technology in Maastricht?

“I chose Maastricht because it was recommended to me. The university has a strong reputation, and its Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach appealed to me, especially since many graduates move to Brussels. At Cambridge, I initially studied French and Russian for three years before switching to business management in my final year. This shift helped me explore topics for my master's, like business innovation and the societal impact of technology.”
