The program is indeed international, with most of the students coming from Western Europe (rather than all around the globe).
Students of this program are worldly, educated, and driven to be change-makers in the world. The professors in my experience are knowledgeable, helpful and good-natured. I like the problem-based learning style that the university is famous for, and the class material is very stimulating, interdisciplinary and relevant to the modern world.
The foreign language track of the program is pretty bad, with classes being only online and just once a week. The program is in its second-ever year so some of the structure of the program and the Skills track have some kinks and need to be reworked.
In the local town, Maastricht, those from a city bigger than a village will most likely find it underwhelming. It’s usually pretty expensive, and finding housing is as impossible as most of the Netherlands and the local Dutch population is reasonably hostile to international students.
