To answer the questions and face the challenges of tomorrow, the UM Academy for Lifelong Development regularly offers new programmes to continue developing your knowledge and skills. Our programmes give you a competitive edge in the job market, helping you to move quickly, flexibly, and proactively through your career.

With our (part-time) programmes and academic courses, you can gain new skills or take a new direction. It’s up to you.

Learn at your own pace 

Learning while working can be a real challenge, both in content and logistics. That is why our programmes are tailored to your interests and the latest trends in your field, all while fitting into your busy, modern life. At Maastricht University, you can choose a quick training session, an in-depth course, or customised programmes for your entire organisation.

Problem-based learning for the real world

With our hands-on Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach, you will tackle real challenges. You will develop valuable skills that prepare you for the real world and make an immediate impact. At Maastricht University, you will not be a passive participant but an active player in your learning trajectory.

Apply your knowledge right away

In our programmes, theory and practice go hand in hand. You will apply the theoretical knowledge you learn and the insights you gain directly in your work. All of our programmes are designed so that you can use your newly acquired knowledge and skills to succeed in your field.
