Student review [#2973] for Biomedical Sciences
at Maastricht University - UM

I would say that Maastricht University didn’t provide me the best experience of university life. I conducted the Biomedical Sciences master program there. The study program by itself was quite good, even it was a more advanced repetition of the bachelor program with the same title, which is offered by the university. The program is based on PBL (problem-based learning), meaning that the students should be ready during the courses to prepare anytime a case relative to the lecture is given and present it immediately. This is a fact that anyway helps you to think and act very fast and learn how to present your thoughts in public (if you are willing to learn to do it correctly). I think it was one of the few good things of the program, even it was quite tough. Moreover, the modules of the study plan were quite well thematically organised. On the other hand, I expected to meet a more international environment as it was so much advertised, but I didn’t. Most of the people that had joined the program were people that had finished the similar bachelor program of the university. Nevertheless, the most unpleasant thing was that the majority of the professors was not the most kind and understandable persons. Thus, I am sorry to say that I am not a fan of this university and I would hardly recommend it, cause I think that are many universities that could offer similar programs without having too important cons, as the last one I mentioned.
