Work :
Non-Dutch students may work in the Netherlands during their studies. Please take note of several rules about health insurance, work permits, income taxes and social premiums to which you must adhere as a non-Dutch student employed in the Netherlands. You can find work at the university as a student ambassador or assistant. But you can also branch out and find work at a local shop or café. Often, speaking English is enough and there's no requirement to speak any Dutch.https://www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/support/during-your-studies/money-matters/working-alongside-your-study
