Student Prizes 2021
Maastricht University celebrates its 46th Dies Natalis on Thursday, 12 May 2022, in the Sint Jans Church in Maastricht. Every year, the best master's and bachelor's theses by our students are rewarded during the Dies Natalis celebration. They receive five hundred euros, a certificate and a small gift as a token of appreciation from our Rector Magnificus. This year’s agenda includes a special ceremony, in which the outgoing Rector Magnificus, Prof. dr. Rianne Letschert, will transfer her position to Prof. dr. Pamela Habibovic. This was initially set to take place on 28 January, but was rescheduled due to corona-related circumstances. Prof. dr. Habibovic has already taken up her new role as of 1 February.
