Organization

Founded in 1976, Maastricht University (UM) is a European university with a strong international outlook. UM is the most international and fully bilingual (English/Dutch) university in the Netherlands.

At UM, we cherish and stimulate talented people and create opportunities for innovative education and research. Most of our education and research has a strictly international orientation. This is partly due to our increasingly international student and staff population – almost half of our students and a third of our academic staff come from abroad. Most of our programmes are taught in English and European and international themes are deeply rooted in research and education. That creates an international atmosphere that's attractive to Dutch as well as international students and employees. The University pursues a policy of equal opportunities in the appointment and promotion of staff.

Maastricht University has over 14,500 students and 3,800 staff. UM offers an innovative working environment in which individual contribution is appreciated and personal development is encouraged.
