“I chose to study at Maastricht University because of its international reputation as one of the leading young universities as well as its central location. I really like Maastricht as a city and enjoy meeting people from all over the world," says Alora Brown. Studying at Maastricht University in small groups of fellow students makes meeting new people easy. “I have made great friends here through my tutorial groups.”

I have been enjoying my programme since the beginning and will continue to do so. The teaching method (PBL) was new to me, but it has transformed my learning style, and I now feel like I am actively learning new concepts rather than simply memorising them. I like the fact that I can design my own curriculum and only specialise in subjects that interest me. These areas of interest are primarily in the field of life sciences, including microbiology, human anatomy and physiology, and endocrinology.” Despite her clear preference for life sciences, Alora has yet to choose a master's programme. "Between graduating and starting my next degree, I first want to travel," she said.
