How is the day organised? During the Bachelor’s Open Day we want you to do more than simply learn about our different bachelor’s programmes, we want to give you a taste of what it is like to study at Maastricht University and live in the city of Maastricht. We have organised the Bachelor’s Open Day into three rounds to give you greater flexibility. There will be a 30-minute break after rounds 1 and 2.
round 1: 09.30 - 11.30 round 2: 12.00 - 14.00 round 3: 14.30 - 16.30 In short, you have the opportunity to learn about three different bachelor’s programmes, go on guided tours and get general information about the university. Please bear in mind that it may take up to 30 minutes to travel between the various locations. The icons below show how information is presented:
Presentation Information session for parents Interactive session Experience it yourself
enrolment, tuition fees, accommodation, student associations, study and sports facilities and for example the courses of the UM Language Centre. The general information fairs are located here: • in the city centre at the Student Services Centre (Bonnefantenstraat 2); • in Randwyck in the ‘Trefcentrum’ (Universiteitssingel 40). Each faculty also has a smaller information fair where you can get more specifi c information about the bachelor’s programmes at that faculty.
Information on study programmes During the information sessions you will receive information about the programmes and the Problem-Based Learning method. You will also be able to participate in forums, watch demonstrations and take part in tours, for example trough laboratories and practice rooms. We are also offering special sessions for parents, where informa tion is provided on costs, safety issues, accommodation etc.
International At the Student Services Centre you will find information for international visitors. Students of various nationalities are present to speak with you in your own language. Didn’t you make an appointment to meet with an international student? Just drop by!
Information fairs
Students, staff members and alumni share their experiences
There are a number of information fairs where you can get information about admission requirements (including the so-called ‘matching’ procedure for non-fixus programmes),
Throughout the Bachelor’s Open Day students, staff members and alumni are available to answer your questions about our programmes, the university and Maastricht as a student city.
