Maastricht University Library Wall

Activities taking place at the two University Library locations between 10.00–16.00

Randwyck:
Visitors are cordially invited to see the beautiful study environment for themselves. Feel free to browse around using a handout to guide you through the facilities. If you have questions, there will be a number of employees present to help you. 

‘Picture yourself’
If you really want to experience what it’s like to study at this location, you can have your picture taken at ‘Picture yourself’. You can do this at the library.

Inner City:
You can walk around in this modern library as well and use the handout to guide you through the facilities.

From 14.00–16.00, we also organised a couple of activities that are specifically intended for the parents. These activities are particularly interesting for those who are still confused by all that is on offer after having gone through all of the programme information. You can take a career guidance test purchase the Studiekeuzegids (Dutch guide to higher education) and try out an i-Pad. There will be University Library employees present to help you and answer your questions.

• Career guidance
  Drop in at any time in room 1.228. Here, you can ask advice from Annemiek van Kessel & Marion van Hoof, authors of the book ‘Studiekeuzegids; help uw kind op weg’ (Guide to higher education; help your child on the way). You can also take a career guidance test and discuss the results with a experienced student from Maastricht University (UM), who will compare your test results with the programmes offered in Maastricht. 
• Career perspective and young people’s trends
  In room 1.213 Christoph Meng will give a presentation on the career perspectives you may have once you have graduated from Maastricht University. Christoph is a project manager at the independent Research Centre for Education and the Labour Market (ROA) and he is an authority in the field of research into dropouts. He will answer questions such as ‘Where do graduates end up? What does a graduate make after 1.5 or 10 years? In short: What is the value of a UM diploma?’ Christoph will give the presentation twice: at 14.15 and at 15.00.
