“small city, not very central”
Erik M
Mexico, Graduate
Business Studies, 2007
OverallThe university is nice, but as a City, Maastricht is very small and limited. The facilities are the smallest in the Netherlands, with regards to the academic hospital for example. The good thing is the influx of international students from the countries which border the Netherlands, being Germany and Belgium principally. A disadvantage is that it is far from the central government, and therefore real opportunities to continue your career within the country would be mitigated.

Personal comments
The language I spoke most was english (though I often spoke french with the french and belgian people). I hardly ever had problems in communicating myself in english, though acquired more fluency. I was not afraid of not speaking the local language (dutch, even a dialect of dutch in Maastricht), because I knew that english was widely spoken. And it really is! So I did not really had the chance of learning dutch since everybody spoke english, though I got to learn some expressions.

Overall
L'université de Maastricht, de part son mode d'éducation, comprend beaucoup de pratique. Les professeurs sont très proches des élèves et n'hésitent pas à donner un coup de main. Les compétences acquises servent à préparer les élèves pour leur carrière.
De plus, les avis des élèves sont grandement pris en compte pour que l'université s'améliore et évolue d'année en année.
