Maastricht is an ideal setting to gain an international perspective on business and economics. Bordered by Germany, Belgium, and France, Maastricht is an international hub for trade and education. In this prime location, you’ll witness the economic policies of the European Union in action. In addition to business and economics courses taught in English, you’ll take overnight trips to Delft and Amsterdam, and go on excursions to Brussels. Within Maastricht, you’ll see everything from modern architecture to Spanish ruins, medieval ramparts, and cobblestone streets that add context to your understanding of Dutch history and culture. Explore the creative side of the city at Maastricht’s many music venues, cinemas, and museums. In Market Square, watch crowds of bicyclists buzz by while enjoying the relaxed pace of life at a café. Get a feel for the landscape as you hike a nature reserve or descend into one of the city’s many underground caves for an art tour.
