One image tells more than a thousand words

It is not surprising that in biomedical sciences traditionally illustrations are created to enable communication between scientist and author, teacher and student, or physician and patient. Art and science come together in scientific illustration.

It is a cooperation between the Faculty of Arts at the Zuyd University of Applied Science in Maastricht and the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences at Maastricht University.

Location

You find Zuyd University of Applied Sciences in the southernmost part of the Netherlands, wedged between Germany and Belgium. Discover this crossroads of countries, cultures and languages, where an international and vibrant learning environment awaits. The European capitals of Amsterdam, Brussels, London and Paris are on your doorstep.

Outstanding training

At Zuyd, you can look forward to getting your international career off to a great start. You will receive outstanding training for a senior or managerial position.

Small-scale and personal

Zuyd offers you a small-scale, intimate learning environment with all the benefits of a larger institution.
