Student review [#3215] for Biomedical Sciences
at Maastricht University - UM

I performed my master of Biomedical Sciences in Maastricht University. UM is known for its international character and for its Problem-Based Learning system. I definitely agree with the second one but I have some objections about the first one. UM could be much more international than it is and much more helpful for international students. I am saying that because people that did their bachelor there, had no issue understanding and following the program since they already knew the system, but also they were more privileged in comparison with international students. Also, I was expecting from the coordinators and the professors of the specific program to be more supportive and lenient. On the other hand, from my point of view, this Problem-Based Learning system gave the opportunity to develop the critical thinking and to acquire scientific curiosity. Furthermore, the one and a half year practical training, in 2 different laboratories, gave a lot of theoretical and practical experience and the chance to improve the technical skills. I would recommend the Biomedical Sciences’ Master of Maastricht University.
