My time in Maastricht was truly unforgettable. I spent the whole year (2011) abroad, and I cannot even find the words to explain how amazing my experience was. I am now in my fifth and final year doing a dual degree Bachelors of Business

Having just returned from a year abroad in The Netherlands, I am able to reflect on many different experiences which I hope will answer some questions you may have with the exchange process. I am a Masters student within the Economics faculty at UQ and decided to complete an exchange as a way of broadening my tertiary education.

The culture and the travel has really changed my view of people and taught me many valuable lessons which I could not have learnt while at UQ.

Studying abroad at Maastricht University was a phenomenal experience! I always knew that going on exchange was something that I really wanted to do but what I didn’t realize was that it was something that I needed to do (at the risk of sounding cliché!). I learnt so much about the world and different cultures and myself – it is a priceless experience!

Amsterdam was the perfect place for exchange. The local lifestyle is easy going and people come across as really free spirited, happy and kind. English is spoken by everyone and it is really refreshing to be in a European city where local people see...

We always found something to do, largely because of the crazy ‘erasmus’ or European exchange students, with the one goal of having a great time!

With the opportunity provided by UQ Abroad, I was able to spend 6 months in the Netherlands studying at Technical University of Delft. The study was difficult at times and living overseas can be quite stressful, but I will never forget my exchange p...

All the organizing is pretty straight forward too, because they have a lot of exchange students they have a really easy system set up, and the business faculty is completely in English which makes everything super easy!

Amsterdam is a really unique city; I found that it’s very different from other major cities in Europe. It’s much like a global village: everything is within reach by bike, multi-cultural and very liberal. I am a 3rd year Arts student and...

If you are debating whether to go on exchange. Do it. Plain and simple. The semester I spent of my BEcon/BA degree in Amsterdam was by far one of the best experiences of my life and I will never forget the amazing places I saw, the rich culture of E...
