Location

Most of the university's departments are on the west bank of the River Meuse, or Maas, that runs through central Maastricht, and a 20-minute walk from Maastricht Central Station. There are also faculties at Randwyck campus, a three-minute train journey from central Maastricht.


Maastricht can be reached from Amsterdam, Brussels, Charleroi, Düsseldorf and Cologne airports, and by train and bus. The public transport network across the Netherlands is quick, clean and efficient. Getting around by bus is easy but most students’ cycle.


The university’s arts, humanities and social sciences faculties are located in Maastricht’s city centre, west of the river Meuse. Most of the university’s inner city properties have official monumental status. As many of these buildings were facing abandonment at the time of their acquirement, the development of an urban university campus has contributed to the preservation and liveliness of Maastricht’s historic city centre.
