What our students thought of their summer school experience.

“The course provided a unique learning experience, not just in the classroom but also outside. Our course coordinator and Professor was extremely knowledgeable on the subject and ensured that we got the most out of the experience. The city ecosystem has a rich desire for active mobility, history and culture.”

“Esther Beckley was a fantastic teacher with a vast knowledge of the course and was always eager to engage in discussion, providing the ideal class environment for learning and fostering critical thinking. All the students in my class bonded immediately, and we made unique memories exploring the city together. The university is awesome, and the staff is very supportive of you and has the best advice so you can have the best experience and live it to its fullest. I left a piece of my heart in Maastricht!”

Gender, Conflict and Peacebuilding

Great experience! I really appreciated the international context with which I had the opportunity to discuss and share important reflections on an important topic such as economic development. It’s a great opportunity to get out of your comfort zone, meet new people and discover a new city.

Development Economics - Challenges and Chances

“Participating in this course was a wonderful experience. The curriculum was meticulously organized, Professor Bram Foubert demonstrated expertise as an instructor, and the hands-on approach fostered a vibrant learning environment. The focus on practical applications and networking opportunities made it a valuable investment in upgrading my skills. I highly recommend the summer school for anyone seeking a comprehensive and engaging exploration of data analytics and R.”
