Description
This scholarship programme is open to Belgium, Luxembourgian and French students who are applying for the LLB in European Law School at the Faculty of Law (LAW). Maastricht University (UM) is a medium-sized university of outstanding quality. It is unique in its international ambitions: 54% of our 17,000 students come from abroad, from dozens of different countries on all five continents. The same holds for our academic staff. The UM trademark has long been our Problem-Based Learning system, characterised by its small-scale nature and independent study groups. These characteristics, paired with the fact that almost all programmes are taught in English, makes UM an attractive university in a beautiful old city of Roman origins, located at the crossroads of three countries and languages.
More than any other city in the Netherlands, Maastricht enjoys a strong historical connection to the French language and culture. It is only natural for Maastricht – so close to its sister city Liège, the northernmost city in Francophone Europe – to reach out to its French neighbours and embrace their culture. There are currently more than 100 students and dozens of academic staff of French origin working or studying at UM’s various faculties.
UM is seeking to increase the number of Belgium Luxembourgian and French students in its international classrooms by offering scholarships to students of Belgium Luxembourgian and French origin.
