Maastricht University has a unique style of learning, problem-based learning, which I found helped me to understand the course material a lot better, to become more confident and improved my communication skills. The university and the town itself is very welcoming and accommodating to international students. The majority of programmes are taught in English and the university offers free Dutch lessons to students. The only downside is the accommodation – it can be difficult to find accommodation when you first move to the town.
