In Maastricht, University College Maastricht (UCM) organizes the pre-med programme. UCM is truly international as 60% of its students come from abroad. The Saudi students share the UCM facilities with these international students, and will take classes together in later phases of the programme. The Saudi students meet and interact with the other students in the reading room and computer area or sit together in the common room. There is a prayer room in the building and Friday prayers are taken into consideration when scheduling classes. UCM was recognized as a top educational programme during the renewal of its accreditation in the autumn of 2006.
