Healthy school lunches in primary schools ensure that children consume more vegetables, both at school and at home. This is supported by research led by Ilse van Lier. Deloitte has utilised her findings to demonstrate that school lunches lead to healthier adults, resulting in reduced healthcare usage and lower rates of absence. Now, that is impactful research! Read on, allow yourself to be transformed, and try a healthy lunch yourself.

Cristina is a 2nd year bachelor’s student of European Studies from Spain.

Why did you choose to study European Studies in Maastricht?

Before moving here, I completed my International Baccalaureate. So, it made sense to study abroad. I wanted to experience being more independent and get to know new cultures. 
What I liked about European Studies is that it covers a wide range of subjects. You get a solid base in all the subjects related to European Studies. From there you can grow into a specialisation. I considered studying in several places and decided on Maastricht because the quality of the university is very high, and Maastricht has a good student environment. 

 Srna is a 3rd year bachelor’s student of Global Studies from North Macedonia.

Why did you choose to study Global Studies in Maastricht?

I was looking for an interdisciplinary programme because I am interested in many things. Global Studies is such a unique programme. The wide range of subjects and its interdisciplinary nature appealed to me. I haven’t seen it anywhere else. I also like the location of Maastricht itself, situated between Belgium and Germany and even close to France.
