College News - Aryana

11/12/2019

 
Maastricht University, Netherlands
Aryana was pleased to receive her first acceptance this week. She has learnt that her application to Maastricht University to study for the Bachelor of Science in Economics and Business Economics has been successful.


From individuals to businesses and governments, we all make choices every day. Economics is the science of choice, from the personal (Why do you buy what you do?) to the public (How do government policies affect consumer behaviour?). Business economics, meanwhile, is about solving specific problems within companies (How can we as a company get consumers to choose our product?). Understanding the choices that all these players make is essential in today’s global society, where consumer choices and business opportunities are multiplying by the hour.


Students taking this degree not only learn economic theory but also develop the practical skills for analysing specific problems, and the professional skills for presenting solutions. Graduates will be well-qualified to advise businesses, consumers, and even policy makers on economic issues. This opens up a wide range of career opportunities. 


The main mission of education at Maastricht University is the integrated academic and professional development of the student. With that mission, Maastricht University approaches teaching and learning through their Problem-Based Learning system and an international orientation. Maastricht’s small-scale ‘international classroom’ brings together people from all over the world who have different backgrounds and perspectives. It is these differences that make the Maastricht learning experience unique.


Study programmes, too, are internationally oriented. They are focused on helping students to get the best out of themselves and to prepare them for their future careers, be that in Europe or anywhere else in the world. Indeed, Maastricht is often said to feel like a little piece of ‘abroad’ in the Netherlands. Together with the many study-abroad opportunities enjoyed by Maastricht’s students, this makes studying at this university a truly international experience.


Problem-Based Learning (PBL) offers a different way of learning from a traditional university education. Students work in small tutorial groups, engage in hands-on training, and attend (far) fewer lectures than in other university settings. Under the supervision of a tutor, students team up with ten to fifteen students to tackle real-life challenges collaboratively.


Problem-Based Learning is an active way of learning that gives students better retention of knowledge, enhances motivation, and encourages students to develop skills that are essential for the labour market in the 21st Century. In short, PBL is all about the student and tutors engaging in learning together in a dynamic way, and focuses upon helping students to develop into knowledgeable and assertive professionals.
