I’ve chosen to study Imaging Engineering at Maastricht University for two main reasons. Firstly, by going through the curriculum, I found that I can specialize either as a well-equipped engineer in imaging techniques or as an outstanding scientist in the molecular interactions of these techniques. Secondly, collaborations with the Maastricht University and institutes, provide us with equipment that allows us to perform outstanding research.

What was your first impression of your master’s programme at Maastricht University?

Already through my first courses I realized that we were surrounded by scientists and professors which are experts in their field of expertise, and we were exposed to state-of-the-art equipment.

How would you describe Problem-Based Learning to a friend?

Problem-Based Learning is an incredible learning technique. The professors make sure that we are exposed to real life scientific concerns. By engaging closely with professors and other students, you can expand your knowledge. You learn to collaborate in order to solve the questions that you may face throughout your career. Close interactions between students and professors is the key in creating successful collaborations and in the Imaging Engineering Master’s, students have the attention from all of their professors.

What do you think of Maastricht as a city?

Student life is blooming in Maastricht, with people from all over the world. Sciences and life in Maastricht are improving year by year. When it comes to studying, I expect to see Maastricht becoming the number one destination in the world.
