Maastricht University Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences

The Maastricht Health Campus is meant to be a lively "Life Sciences" center where business and academia come together.

• PBL Tutorial Rooms: Small, round classrooms made just for the Problem-Based Learning method, where groups of 12 to 15 students work together to solve real medical problems.
• The Simulation & Clinical Skills Centre is a huge, high-tech building with fake operating rooms, consultation rooms, and advanced mannequins for "risk-free" clinical training.
• Brain Imaging Center (Scannexus): This place has ultra-high-field MRI scanners (3T, 7T, and 9T) for the most advanced research in neuroscience and diagnosis.
• The Maastricht Multi-Modal Molecular Imaging Institute (M4I) is a world-class center for molecular imaging that gives students access to electron microscopy and mass spectrometry.
• Randwyck Library: A modern library on campus that is bright and open, has collections of medical books, and lets you access digital resources 24/7.
• Interdisciplinary Learning: The campus brings together students from Psychology, Neuroscience, and Medicine to promote a "Human Health" view that includes all aspects of health.
• Innovation Lab (Brightlands): Adjacent to the campus, this hub allows students to interact with over 100 on-campus companies and startups in the health sector.
• The "Living Lab" is a special place where researchers can study public health and nursing interventions in a real-world setting.
• Sports Centre Randwyck is a specialized sports facility on the medical campus that has gyms, squash courts, and group fitness rooms.
• Smoke-Free Zone: The whole Health Campus is a "Blue Zone," which means that smoking is not allowed and people are encouraged to live a healthy lifestyle.

The Maastricht UMC+ (MUMC+) is the primary academic hospital, focusing extensively on "integrated health" (prevention + cure).

• 715-Bed Capacity: Includes 33 Intensive Care beds and the specialized MosaKids Children's Hospital (65 beds).
• 27 Operating Rooms: High-volume surgical capacity with a focus on robotic surgery and minimally invasive techniques.
• Specialized Clinical Units: Renowned for its Heart & Vascular Center, Oncology Center, and Metabolism & Nutrition clinics.
• Academic Outreach: MUMC+ serves as a primary healthcare provider for the city of Maastricht while acting as a tertiary referral center for the entire Limburg province.

The following tuition rates are for the academic year.

• The Vibe: Located at the southernmost tip of the Netherlands, Maastricht is a multicultural crossroad bordering Belgium and Germany. It is more "European" and less "Dutch" in its architecture and atmosphere.
• Connectivity:
• Train: The campus has its own station (Maastricht Randwyck), just a 3-minute train ride from the central station.
• International: Direct trains to Brussels and easy road access to Aachen and Liège.

• Accommodation: Maastricht University does not own dorms. Students find housing via Maastricht Housing or the UM Guesthouse (900 furnished rooms). Start searching at least 4-6 months early.
• The "Maastricht Feel": Unlike Amsterdam, Maastricht is an intimate, historic city. Student life is heavily centered around "student associations" (Verenigingen) and local cafes in the city center.
• Dining: Multiple "MUMC+ staff restaurants" and the FHML Food Court offer subsidized, healthy meals. The campus is known for its high-quality coffee corners and "grab-and-go" healthy snacks.
• Student Association (MSV Pulse): The medical student association is one of the largest in the city, organizing "The White Coat Ceremony," career fairs, and social galas.

• PBL Training: All new international students must attend a mandatory Problem-Based Learning workshop to adapt to the university’s unique teaching style.
• Research Focus: FHML is famous for its "Nutrim" (Nutrition and Translational Research in Metabolism) and "Caphri" (Care and Public Health Research) institutes.
