University College Maastricht (UCM) is a Liberal Arts and Sciences honours college of Maastricht University that combines extensive academic choice with personal guidance. UCM students are part of a truly international community, working and socialising with students from more than 50 countries representing 73% international students. They are supported by dedicated staff members who encourage learning beyond the classroom. Our dedication to academic standards as well as our strong sense of belonging to a community makes UCM a unique place where academic passion is encouraged and individual talents are nurtured.

Courses at UCM are taught using Problem-Based Learning (PBL). By using a combination of small-group work and individual research, students are in control of their own education. PBL education helps students retain information better, think about problems independently and allows them to develop their interpersonal skills. All teaching at UCM happens in small groups of approximately 12 students.
