Master Media Culture at the Faculty of Arts and Social Siences of Maastricht University

Maastricht University is a medium-sized university of superior quality and is unique in its international ambitions. Half of its 16,000 students are non-Dutch and come from dozens of countries and all seven continents. This is also true of its research and academic staff. The UM trademark has long been its Problem Based Learning system, characterised by its small-scale nature and independent work groups. These characteristics, paired with the fact that almost all programmes are taught in English, makes UM an attractive university, in an attractive old city of Roman origin, in an area where three countries and languages converge.

Dr. Ursula Glunk, former Senior Lecturer, Senior Program Manager, Leadership Developer, Certified Coach at the school of Business and Economics of Maastricht University made a significant contribution to the University fund Limburg in the form of a Scholarship. This was her farewell gift.

She’s is now working for Zeppelin University (Germany) as a Program Director / Manager Leadership Excellence Insitute Zeppelin (LEIZ).
