Limburg is not the usual busy high-stress big-city environment you so often find near the universities. No. Here you can find campuses which are only a bicycle ride away from green fields and inviting rural safe villages.
In the last years we have seen a growth in the number of directions we offer on bachelors and masters level. We also see the number of foreign students and professors increasing which shows once again our openness for foreign talent.
