We think it is important you are able to connect with your fellow students in real life. However, the past years we experienced that there are also advantages of online education, such as added flexibility, online lectures from experts abroad and lesser travel time.

What does this mean? Fulltime students will come together at the LUMC campus three times a week on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. On Tuesdays you will follow live online lectures. For part-time students, on demand lectures are offered throughout the week, and there will be an on campus day on Fridays. Only in the parttime programme, (international) students who cannot visit the campus, will be offered a solution to join the live education online (hybride).

For more information, you can always send us an email: masterva@lumc.nl 

Yes! There are various options to get in touch with Vitality and Ageing students or alumni. Contact us via masterva@lumc.nl or chat with a student to make an appointment.
