The programme's European angle is unique, as other public health programmes focus much more on the national system of that one particular country

Studeren aan de Universiteit Maastricht (UM) is een op jou toegesneden ervaring die jou voorbereidt op je toekomstige carrière, maar je ook op persoonlijk vlak verrijkt. Onze bachelor- en masteropleidingen richten zich op studenten die intrinsiek geïnteresseerd zijn in gezondheid en menselijk gedrag. Studenten ‘die graag een extra stap’ willen zetten in hun vakgebied en/of als persoon. Hoe zit jouw ‘extra stap’ eruit?

“My family has always been travelling between Asia and Europe and I love that multicultural experience. I studied Biology for one year in Germany, but that was too much science for me. I was looking for a programme which focussed more on the human side, behaviour, lifestyle and social aspects.

I visited the Open Day in Maastricht and was drawn to the international character of the programme. Its European angle is unique, as other public health programmes focus much more on the national system of that one particular country. With my background, I really wanted that international and intercultural approach.

That international approach is also reflected by the classroom. There are so many nationalities, even from outside Europe. I like that. I’m in my second year now, in which we dive into more specific topics in the various fields. Currently we are looking at the effects of lifestyle. We’ve been to visit the European Commission and will also go to the University of Krakow, Poland for a week. In my last semester, I will go on exchange to Hong Kong. That will be an interesting experience on all accounts!

After my bachelor’s I would like to do a master’s but I’m not sure in which programme yet. I would like to learn more about the impact of urban development design on public health.”

    De bacheloropleiding EPH van de UM was de eerste die me echt wist te boeien. Het is vooral de Europese context in het leerplan die deze opleiding voor mij zo uniek maakt
