Each elective is delivered in six classroom sessions of three hours. Courses run on chosen weekdays and weekends from September to December, so you can slot study alongside work and other commitments.
Teaching takes place face-to-face on the campus of Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM), creating space for lively discussion with faculty and classmates. With places reserved for current MBA candidates and alumni, you learn alongside peers who share your experience and goals.
