Class of 2013 University Applications Handbook - UWC Maastricht

Welcome Message from the Careers Guidance Counsellors
June 15, 2012
Office of Career Guidance & University Applications
The Career Guidance program at UWC Maastricht is available to help students make
informed decisions about their academic careers and personal development. Through
school-wide events, small group information sessions and individual meetings with students,
we work with students starting to develop their plans for the IB Diploma Programme and
after.
This handbook is a starting point for students to conduct independent research. It is best
used in digital format so that the websites can be accessed for further information. Please
think of the environment before printing this handbook! With all information, it is best to
confirm the accuracy of our research with the individual university. Often, college websites
are the best sources of up-to-date information. Your feedback and suggestions on how to
improve this handbook are always appreciated.
You can find regular updates in UWC Maastricht’s IN FOCUS monthly publication, where we
post information about upcoming Careers events and deadlines. Managebac is used as an
internal resource for students to stay informed about careers and university related news.
Parents and guardians can access important handouts through the UWC Maastricht website,
on the “Careers” webpage.
If you have further questions or wish to schedule an appointment, please email us.
Sincerely,
The Career Counselling Team
