Dutch Course are offered by the Erasmus University Language & Training centre.

This depends on the programme you are interested in. Admission requirements for each MSc programme are listed on the Admission & Application pages.

All students who finish their Master at RSM, will receive a Master in Science (MSc) degree followed by the name of their MSc programme, e.g. MSc MM for those who completed Marketing Management.

Students who finished Accounting & Financial Management, Business Analytics & Management, and Master in Management will receive the degree MScBA, Master of Science in Business Administration.

When applying for the International Management/CEMS programme, you are required to provide proof of proficiency in at least three languages, one of which must be English. The second and third languages can be any languages (including your mother tongue).

On the CEMS language requirements pages you can find explanations of the minimum required level for these languages, and how to provide the correct documentation for each language.

If you wish to proof your English proficiency by taking one of the standardized English tests, RSM accepts the following tests and minimum scores: 

IELTS: Academic test minimum overall score of 7.0 and minimum sub scores of 6.5 

TOEFL (iBT) & TOEFL iBT® Special Home Edition: minimum overall score 94 with minimum sub scores of 22 for reading, listening and speaking and for writing 24. 

Please note that the ITP TOEFL test is not accepted as it does not test the speaking abilities of the candidate. RSM does however temporarily accept the TOEFL ITP® Plus for China. Students who have taken this test, will be required to take a additional verbal test via the Erasmus University Language & Training Center. 

Cambridge English test with a minimum overall level of C1 and subscores of 180 for all parts of the test (reading, writing, listening, speaking & use of English). Accepted forms of test are:

• Cambridge English: First
• Cambridge English: Advanced
• Cambridge English: Proficiency
• Cambridge English: Business Vantage
• Cambridge English: Business Higher

General guidelines:

• Both overall and sub score requirements listed above must be met.
• Take into account that test dates at the test centres can fill up quickly, particularly during peak testing periods. Therefore we urge you to register to take the test as early as possible to avoid disappointment. Keep in mind that it can take several weeks to receive the results of your test. This means that you should plan to take the test 4-6 weeks before the application deadline. 
• Other tests, such as Michigan English are not accepted.

In a multicultural world, speaking several languages is an important asset. It increases the attractiveness of graduates to employers as it demonstrates their international orientation and mindset and enhances their cultural awareness. It also makes the CEMS programme and CEMS graduates distinctive from other international masters. Both CEMS and RSM therefore welcome efforts by students to improve their language skills during their master programme, even if their language skills are already at the minimum required level. 

The language that people consider as their native language or mother tongue can be spoken at different levels. When you are born and educated in a country where you also speak the same language with your parents and friends, you are typically fluent in both speaking and writing. If you only speak this language at home and never received any formal education in this language however, your language proficiency in writing and/or speaking is probably below the C2 level that is considered as fully fluent.

We ask for your secondary school diploma for two reasons. The first being that it is good practice in the world of credential evaluation to always ask for the underlying diploma when evaluating an academic credential. This gives additional insight into the academic career of an applicant and can tell us more about the level of the bachelor diploma. The second reason has to do with fraud prevention. The more documents someone has to fabricate, the greater the chance that they will be discovered.  Students who completed their secondary school in the Netherlands (havo or vwo) do not need to submit these documents. They will be verified by DUO when you register in studielink.
