Silvija Burbaite, MA Arts and Heritage
Silvija Burbaite is from Lithuania, she has a bachelor’s degree in Cultural Information and Communication from Vilnius University, Lithuania and decided to come to Maastricht for the master’s programme Arts and Heritage: Policy Management and Education.
“I’ve always been interested in history, but I also see myself working in a museum with art and education, so this to me was the perfect combination! It was also the only programme in which both components, arts and heritage, were equally represented. And since I didn’t haveto do a pre-master for this master’s programme, the choice to come here was really easy. So far, the programme is intense but I enjoy Maastricht, the quality of life here and the freedom we have because of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method.. You are so responsible for your own learning process and therefore, time management skills are useful. I’m also impressed by the friendliness and helpful attitude of all the teachers and staff. There is a real sense of community here. This programme also gives you lots of professional experience and the opportunity to establish your own network in the field, which comes in handy to kick-start your career.”

Eventually I want to go back to Lithuania to make an impact there in the fields of Arts, Culture and Heritage. The country needs people like me.
