International Office 

Need help with your application, visa, or finding your way around Maastricht? Our International Office is here to support you every step of the way. They can also guide you in finding scholarship opportunities.  

Libraries 

6 of our locations have their own library. With your student card, you can borrow books and journals. Online, you'll have access to a wide range of academic databases, e-books, journals, and videos.  

Study materials 

Before your studies begin, you’ll receive an email from your programme with a list of books and materials you’ll need to buy.  

IT and online learning  

You’ll get your own email account, storage space, and print access. Every Zuyd building offers computer workstations, and our ICT helpdesk is there to assist you. In our digital learning environment, you’ll find course materials, hand in assignments, and collaborate with classmates.  

Audiovisual equipment 

Need to give presentations, record interviews, or create videos? You can borrow laptops, cameras, projectors and more from the Servicedesk (under certain conditions). 

Bring your own laptop 

Most programmes require you to bring a laptop. Make sure you check with your study programme what kind of specs you’ll need. Some software is provided free or at a discount for students. 

Food & drinks 

Every Zuyd location has a restaurant with fresh, tasty food options. In a hurry? Grab a snack or drink from one of the vending machines. And don’t miss the coffee corners, perfect for a chat over a cappuccino or chai latte!  

Getting around 

All our campuses are easy to reach by public transport. Prefer to bike, scoot or drive? We offer free bike and scooter parking. Coming by car? Just note that parking is limited and, at some locations, paid parking applies. 
 

Need support? We're here for you 

Studying can be tough sometimes and that’s okay. Personal guidance is a big deal at Zuyd. Whatever you’re going through, we’re ready to help. 

Together, we’ll make your time at Zuyd a time to remember!
