IBEX Fair
Maastricht University
Maastricht University in the Netherlands is known for its unique education system of problem-based learning (PBL). Students work in groups to solve problems instead of listening to lectures. The learning method is explicitly student-centered rather than teacher-centered. This unique style of learning has attracted a large number of foreign students, making Maastricht University very internationally focused.
