Smarter Academic Year

EUR is moving to a smarter academic year (SAY) to help reduce the workload and pressure for both students and lecturers. RSM will also implement these changes starting in the 2025-2026 academic year.

This will affect the schedule of courses across all three bachelor years. Here is an overview of the key changes for the smarter academic year:

  • There will be fewer study weeks per academic year, which will result in Bachelor years 2 and 3 of your programme to conclude earlier (unless you need to resit an exam).
  • Additional self-study weeks will be introduced. These weeks will have no scheduled activities, but they are specifically designed for independent study. This isn’t vacation time, we strongly encourage you to use this time effectively to stay on track with your course work.

You can find the new academic calendar for Bachelor 1, 2, and 3 here.

Curriculum redesign

RSM has also taken this opportunity to make some adjustments to the curriculum to better align with the evolving demands of international business. These changes are small to more substantial, depending on the bachelor year. If you study within the nominal timeframe, the changes will have little impact. You will follow the new curriculum as of 2025-2026. 

If you are studying outside the nominal timeframe, the changes may affect you. Would you like to know what the changes mean for you personal situation? Please see below: 

Bachelor 1
Did you start the IBA study in 2024-2025 or earlier, and do you still have Bachelor 1 courses open?

In Osiris you will be moved to the new exam programme, corresponding to the new curriculum.

RSM is working with a new academic calendar in 2025-2026 where exams for Bachelor 1 and Bachelor 2 take place in the same week. Some courses will have a new name: 

Statistics will be: Probability and statistics. If you have not yet passed Statistics, you will be enrolled by Programme Management for Probability and statistics. The content of the course is comparable.

Economics will be: Microeconomics. If you have not yet passed Economics, you will be enrolled by Programme Management for Microeconomics. The content of the course is comparable. 

Bachelor 2

Did you start the IBA study in 2023-2024 or earlier, and do you still have Bachelor 2 courses open?

In Osiris we will move you to the new exam programme, corresponding to the new curriculum. If you still have open Bachelor 2 courses please read below what this means for you. 

We are working with a new academic calendar in 2025-2026 where exams for Bachelor 1 and Bachelor 2 take place in the same week. There are also changes in the Bachelor 2 curriculum. The courses below will have changes, click on the course which you have not passed yet to see them: 

 

Research project will get a new name: Quantitative research methods. If you have not yet passed this course, you will be enrolled by Programme Management for Quantitative research methods. The content of the course is comparable. 

Business simulation will move from block 6 to the new block 2.3 (start: January 2026).

Innovation management will move from block 6 to the new block 2.4 (start: February 2026).

Strategic management changes, please read further if you have not passed the course yet:

  • In case you also have not passed Technology management (3 EC) yet, you can follow the new Technology management (4 EC) and the new Strategic management (4 EC).
  • In case you have passed Technology management (3 EC), you will also need to retake the 'old' Strategisch management (5 EC). This will be done as follows:  

You will follow all educational activities of the course BT2314 Strategic management (4 EC). Please note, this course is 1 EC smaller than BT2214 (5 EC) in the past. As recidivists you will need to master additional self-study material that is not covered in the course BT2314. More specifically, this additional self-study material concerns strategic management models.

Please be aware, this course will move from the old block 8 to the new block 2.2 (start: October 2025).

Technology management changes, please read further if you have not passed the course yet:

Technology Management (BT2112) is discontinued. There will be a new course with the same name and a larger workload (4 EC) with the course code BT2122. You will follow this new course as part of your new exam programme. If you have not passed Technology management yet, Programme Management will enroll you for the new course next academic year.

Entrepreneurship (BT2108) will no longer be a core course in the IBA curriculum. International business (BT2118) will replace the course in the new curriculum. If you have not yet passed Entrepreneurship, you will need to take International business as part of the new examination programme. 

Bachelor 3

Did you start the IBA study in 2022-2023 or earlier, and do you still have Bachelor 3 courses open?

In the above cases:

  • You will be moved to the new exam programme or remain in the ‘old’ exam programme in Osiris, depending on your study progress.
  • RSM will choose the option that has the least impact on your study progress.
  • By September 2025, you will receive an email indicating whether you will follow the old or new exam programme and curriculum to complete your bachelor.

New curriculum

  • You need this information when you will follow the new curriculum.
  • Course enrolment:
    • Information about course enrolment in the Elective Space
    • Information about course enrolment in the Track Space. Once you have been assigned to a track, you will be automatically enrolled in all the courses within that track.
  • RSM will work with a new academic calender in 2025-2026. 

Old curriculum

  • You need this information when you will follow the old curriculum.
  • Many courses from the old Bachelor 3 curriculum will be discontinued. For most of these courses, RSM will offer the assessment again for one final academic year (2025–2026). In some cases, there is an alternative course in the new curriculum that you can follow instead. Sometimes you can even choose between these two options.
  • You will be enrolled by RSM for the default option for the track and core courses which you have not passed yet. For the Bachelor 3 elective space, regular enrolment procedures apply (see here).
  • In case the assessment of track courses from the old curriculum is offered again, no teaching activities will be provided. You are expected to prepare for the assessment through independent study. The timing of the assessment is equal to the timing in 2024-2025.
  • In some cases, there may be an alternative option for a track course from the old curriculum. You can then choose to follow a similar course from the new curriculum (Bedrijfskunde or IBA). If you want to follow the alternative option, you must register for this actively. Once you choose the alternative course, you will no longer be able to take the original course (from the old curriculum) later in the year. More information and instructions will follow via the Canvas page 'RSM Bachelor 3 Transition 25-26'. 

Would you like to have more information? For questions about course logistics, please contact Programme Management via bsc.pm@rsm.nl
