I am an incoming international student at UM. I keep getting more and more disappointed with their communication and I keep questioning whether it is also like this when you are in uni. I have sent an email regarding the tuition fee a few weeks ago, haven’t got a response yet. Sent one again on Monday, still nothing. Have been trying to contact the Finance department today, but they are unavailable. I understand that the workload is insane at this time of the year, however I have been waiting for a response for a few weeks now and the deadline is nearing. Please reassure me that it is not like this in uni, and that students get responses to their questions on time, and are assisted if needed to

Hello, how is it going? I will start mt studies in September and I have been looking for a room/studio through different websites and facebook groups with no luck so far.

Can anyone recommend me a website, an agency, a real estate agent, facebook group or anything on which I can look for a place to stay? I am quite worried about falling for scams..

Thanks a lot!!

Also, if you or someone you know is leaving their accomodation definitely, can you please send me a message? Thanks a lot!

Hello all! I got a conditional enrollment acceptance letter for the Maastricht Science Programme a few months ago. I’m currently in the United States, so the letter said I have to get certain AP exam scores to be fully enrolled. My grades have fallen down in the past few months after that, due to some personal reasons. My final grades are all passing, and I have quite a good grade in one of my AP physics classes. Is there a chance they’ll rescind the letter because of this? I’m still passing every class, and I’m confident in my AP exam scores.

I’m going to start my studies (Bsc Biomedical Sciences) in september and I heard a lot about PBL.

From an outside perspective, it doesn’t seem all too bad since I believe that discussing/ explaining info is an excellent way to consolidate it. However, I was just wondering to what extent do these sessions actually prepare you for the exams? From what I understand the teacher mainly just remains silent the entire session so how do the students know what they have to study for the exam?
Also I heard that the discussions vary from one group to another, meaning that some groups have very engaging conversations and others just stay silent most of the time. If u end up in one of the latter groups, does that put u at a disadvantage when it’s time to take an exam?

Also, if there’s anyone who’s already doing the same degree as me I would appreciate more details about the topics you guys discuss during the sessions.

Thanks!

I am an international student and I would like to inquire about a conditional offer that I received last month for a Master of Global Supply Chain Management & Change & IB Spec Supply Chain Management program.

The portal only said on condition that I have obtained the following diploma and/or additional exams/requirements. So, I sent the certified copy of my diploma on April 7th, and I it was received by the university on April 17th. I have inquired with the Student Services Centre and SBE Admissions, but have not received a reply.

Do I need to continue pay tuition and complete the visa process first or should I wait until they provide me unconditional offer?

Many thanks.

I finished my bachelors at this Uni and now doing masters. Ask questions if you want to!:) I’m an international EU student living and working here

Hey everyone! I’m heading to Maastricht this September to start my Master’s program. I’m super excited (and a little nervous) to get settled in.

​I’d love to chat with anyone already living there or other incoming students! Specifically, I’m curious about:

​Local life: Any "hidden gem" cafes or spots to hang out?

​Housing: Any tips for a newcomer navigating the city for the first time? Best tips to find housing etc.

​Hobbies: I’m into learning languages, travelling, music and would love to find some local groups/people who share the same interests. Please don't hesitate to dm me. I'd love to talk. Thank you!

Hi!! really need participants for my Master’s thesis :))) If you are 16+ and work 20+ hours/week, you can help by completing a short survey about management and well-being. Participants who complete all 3 surveys can win 1 of 10 Amazon vouchers! Thank you very much!

Hi guys, I’m have accepted the offer for European Law School in Maastricht University.
My other options so far are Groningen, and possibly UvA and Leiden (in case the placement procedure will go a bit faster)
Hence, is it more possible to rent a studio in Maastricht for more or less the same price as a room in Amsterdam or The Hague and live by myself with no roommates than in all of those other places?

Does the university actually send a conditional admission letter stating that the person has been offered a seat or is it all through tasks in the MyApplication portal and Studilink? I'm a non-EU applicant and in the MyApplication portal all the tasks are checked except "Arrange Visa/legal residence" and "Enter Tuition payment details" I've been sent the next steps for visa and legal residence for which I also need to pay the tuition fee. I plan on taking an education loan and for that I'd need to provide a letter of acceptance from the university showing that I've been offered a place.

So I'm not sure if the university provides that. I've checked my mails, all the portals etc. but nowhere do I see anything clearly stating that.

Any help would be appreciated.

hi, i'm looking for 1 or 2 people to rent a flat together and split the rent as it is easier than finding a single room. if you are interested just dm me
