Maastricht University

Established in 1976, Maastricht University (UM) is the most international university in the Netherlands and renowned for its innovative, student-centered, problem-based learning system. With approximately 16,300 students and 4,300 employees, UM offers a wide choice of bachelor’s, master’s and PhD programmes, all of which are designed to integrate research and education. Maastricht University is characterized by a multidisciplinary and thematic approach, and is concentrated in research institutes and schools linked to the university’s six faculties: Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences; Faculty of Law; School of Business and Economics; Faculty of Humanities and Sciences; Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience.

School of Business and Economics

SBE is the youngest economics and business faculty in the Netherlands with a distinctively international profile. It belongs to the 1% of business schools worldwide to be triple-crown accredited (EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA). SBE strongly believes in close connections with its academic partners and societal stakeholders, with its students and alumni, and with businesses and organisations in the Limburg Euregion, the Netherlands, Europe and the rest of the world.  

Maastricht University’s inclusiveness strategy has resulted in a very diverse representation of nationalities and cultures. We strongly believe that diversity (including, but not limited to nationality, age and gender) of the staff and student population will increase the quality of UM education & research. Fostering diversity and inclusivity creates an academic community where individual talents, values and differences flourish. Therefore we strongly encourage all qualified people to apply.
