MPH Student
The educational approach at the University of Limburg in Maastricht, is usually
referred to as problem-based learning (PBL). Problem-based learning is an
educational strategy aiming at the simultaneous realization of the following
objectives;
• Providing knowledge in such a way that it is better retained and applied more easily
in later professional practice;
• Allowing students to extend their knowledge and keep it up-to-date in their future
professions;
• Training problem-solving skills for particular professional situations.
The aim of problem-based learning is to overcome various drawbacks in the traditional
methods of instruction, for instance, the passive role of students during lecture,
irrelevant subject matter in the curriculum, lack of integration between discipline,
insufficient preparation of the student for continuing their own education after
graduation, and, of particular importance, the difficulties experienced by many
graduates in applying what they have learned to actual practice.
