Description
ELSA Maastricht is based in the Netherlands, home to one of Europe's top-ranked law faculties and the European Law School programme, an academic environment uniting students from across the globe. Nestled at the crossroads between Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands, it offers a multicultural and historic setting while also being within easy reach of major European Institutions in The Hague, Brussels, and Luxembourg. Our S&C Committee is highly motivated and experienced in organising bilateral exchanges, and we would love to welcome a parter group to explore both our picturesque city and vibrant international student community.

Other information
ELSA Maastricht's Study Visits Director will be the main point of contact throughout the planning process, and we're happy to adjust the balance of academic and social activities based on what the visiting group is most interested in. Maastricht is a compact, easily walkable city, so logistics between activities tend to be simple. We'd also recommend visiting in spring or early autumn for the best weather, though we're flexible and happy to plan around whichever months work best for both groups.
