🎓✨ Celebrating our 2026 MSM Graduates! ✨🎓

From students to alumni! Last week marked a very special celebration as our residential students in Maastricht, as well as students from our partner programmes in Romania, Hungary, Kuwait, China, and Indonesia crossed the stage to receive their well-earned degrees.

We started the ceremony with warm welcomes from Dr. Diederik de Boer, Director a.i. MSM, and Prof. Dr. Mariëlle Heijltjes, Dean at Maastricht University School of Business and Economics. The programme continued with the inspiring guest keynote by Liesbeth Wijlaars, student awards and valedictory speeches, musical interlude, and plenty of well-deserved applause in-between. And finally, Dr. Stuart Dixon, Director of Academics MSM closed off with the famous words: Class of 2026 you are dismissed! Big thank you to all the students, family, friends, teaching and support staff, partners, and everybody else that attended and made the day possible!

Now comes the exciting part! We wish you every success as you take the next step in your journey, and we are delighted to welcome you to the MSM alumni community.
