Medicine

Have you always been fascinated with the idea that you can help improve people’s health? Are you curious, with good interpersonal skills and can you work well in teams? Then a bachelor's in Medicine at Maastricht University might be the right thing for you. The Bachelor of Medicine – English track, curriculum 2022, has a focus on collaborative and self-regulation of learning. Knowledge, skills and attitude are taught in combination, using authentic tasks from the professional field as the starting point for learning. The small scale of the classes ensures an active interaction with your fellow students and teachers. From day one you will be working on authentic professional tasks in small learning teams together with your fellow students and supported by a learning team coach. Your education at Maastricht University will prepare you for your future profession and guide you in your personal development. After the bachelor's programme, almost all students continue to do a master's in Medicine. You can also proceed with another master in the health profession education domain. Once you have completed the master's programme, you’ll be ready and qualified to work as a physician, for example in a hospital, a general practice or in public health. You may continue your training to become a specialist in one of the many medical disciplines. You can also work in research.
