This may come in handy if someone else has specific question related to life in Maastricht or there’s a piece of information you want to share with your friends, followers or acquaintances.

If you need off-line help with filling out an application or finding specific information, you can turn to the International Student Helpdesk (given that you are a student at UM). We collaborate closely and one of our colleagues will welcome you and assist you in their office at the Student Services Center (SSC, located at Bonnefantenstraat 2, 6211KL, Maastricht) from Monday to Friday from 13.00 until 17.00. If you are not a student at UM step by the Expat Centre Maastricht region. They help internationals in the Maastricht Region with all kind of issues.
