Universiteit Maastricht (UM)

While the university is all in English and everyone speaks it at a more than serviceable level, Maastricht is just not good enough in terms of the Problem Based Learning that it swears by. No one really wants to be "discussion leader" and the "seven step process" that they tell you so much about in the introduction day is a farce that gets dropped by tutors almost instantly (it's no fun in practice anyway). And only in very few courses are you actually solving real life problems.
By the way, your grades are really impacted by your tutor, so you'd better hope you have a good one!
One more thing to know is that there is a LOT of maths in this degree, since it's a BSc. Be ready for that!

Demanding but rewarding teachings oriented on hands-on cases.
