Center for European Studies
For more than 20 years, the Center for European Studies at Maastricht University has provided comprehensive, English-language study abroad programmes for international students. CES provides a ‘full-package service’, allowing international students an easy transition into Dutch university life. We support students before, during and after programmes are finished. Our students have described us as their 'home away from home' and 'a hidden gem in the heart of Europe'. Set in the picture perfect historic city of Maastricht, the Netherlands, CES is dedicated to making your study abroad one of the best experiences you have ever had.
