Test Wilbert

The RSM International Office always recommends you to do courses abroad for more than 20 ECTS.

Should you fail a course and therefore not reach the minimum of 20 ECTS you can always ask for a resit at the host university or, in exceptional cases, make an arrangement with your Master programme department to do an additional assignment/take home exam for the missing ECTS.

As RSM (the business school of Erasmus University Rotterdam) is included in the LPDP preferred university list, funding is available for qualifying MSc students from Indonesia who obtained an unconditional offer from RSM. More information about the specific requirements and application process can be found at: www.lpdp.kemenkeu.go.id (in Bahasa Indonesia).

As soon as the RSM International Office has received your (revised, if applicable) conversion (signed by Academic Director), your academic study report as well as the grades of the host university, the conversion package is complete. You will be notified when your conversion package has been completed and sent to the Student Administration department for registration in Osiris.

At that moment, send a request to the Examination Board (eb@rsm.nl) to stop your postponement of active degree granting.

More information on postponement of active degree granting can be found here: https://www.rsm.nl/master/current-students/master/postponement-of-issuing-your-degree/

More information on deregistration and diploma can be found here: https://www.rsm.nl/master/current-students/master/deregistration-and-diploma/

After your MSc diploma has been issued, you can deregister as a student through Studielink and ask for the refund of your tuition fee for the remaining months. This can be done at the following link: https://www.eur.nl/english/essc/registration/unenrolment/refundoftuitionfees/.

If the programme is marked with *, APPLY AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE:

These programmes usually reach the maximum capacity before the 15 May deadline. Check the date when the application closed for this programme last year. This might help you time your application. Please note that the dates are listed only for indicative purposes and no rights may be derived from this information.

Many of our applicants ask why we require certified hard copies or originals of their diploma(s) and academic transcripts when we already have digital copies. RSM requires official hard copies because digital documents are easier to forge and are not legal documents.

An official interview is only part of the application process for the MSc International Management - CEMS programme and the Finance & Investments - Advanced programme. An interview is not part of the admissions process for our other programmes.

For additional information regarding the selection process for the MSc International Management/CEMS programme, please check the website for the Selection Guidelines.

No, all MSc programmes at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM) are fulltime programmes. RSM does offer a part time programme in Dutch. 

In het eerste semester heb je één tot twee avonden per week college. In het tweede semester kan het een enkele keer voorkomen, afhankelijk van je keuze van verdiepingsvakken, dat er in een week drie colleges gegeven worden. (Dat betekent vaak ook dat je die periode een week of twee weken geen college hebt.) Op het einde van een semester zijn er twee of drie zaterdagochtenden tentamens.

De avondcolleges zijn van 19.00 - 22.00 uur.

Houd er rekening mee dat je tijdens het internationaal project tien dagen in het buitenland verblijft. Zie het programma voor meer informatie.

The degrees conferred by Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University: Bachelor of Science (BSc), Master of Science (MSc) and PhD are part of the framework of the so-called Bologna declaration and should therefore be fully recognised by all countries who have signed the declaration. The combination of a recognised degree, triple accreditation, and the strong brand image of the school (which is known all over the globe) has turned out to be a great asset for our graduates, enabling them to acquire good positions in the corporate world and giving them access to graduate programmes of the top tier of business schools all over the world.

The Dutch pre-university diploma (VWO) certificate Mathematics A or B taken at the Boswell-Beta is accepted for IBA. This mathematics exam can be taken only in the Netherlands. The exam certificate (minimum grade of 7.0 for VWO Mathematics A or a minimum grade of 6.0 for VWO Mathematics B) must be submitted in the Online Application Form (OLAF) no later than 1 April so plan your exam date carefully. Successfully passing this exam means that you meet the mathematics requirement but it does not guarantee a place in the programme.

For specific information about the application of certain rules and regulations please consult the Examination Board’s ‘Examination Manual 2015-2016,' accessible via RSM Intranet: https://intranet.eur.nl/group/rsm/examination-board  (This document replaces the information that was previously found via the Examination Board's 'Teaching Net' pages).

In many countries official academic transcripts contain a GPA (Grade Point Average) - one calculated per semester, and one calculated over the entire study programme. In some cases a GPA will only be calculated once the programme has been completed. If your transcript does not contain a GPA, the admissions office will calculate one for you. Please note that the Admissions Manager will ultimately determine whether your GPA is sufficient or not. Grades earned on exchange can be included in the GPA calculation if they are translated to the Dutch grading system by your university (only applicable for students coming from Dutch research or applied sciences universities).

The easiest way to calculate your GPA yourself is to use Excel. You can use the example below to make the calculation. In column A you should enter the grades you have earned so far. In column B you need to enter the credits earned for each course. When you have entered all of the grades and credits, you need to put the following formulas into the spreadsheet:

In cell B5 =SUM(B1:B4); In column C =SUM(A1*B1), =SUM(A2*B2) etc; In cell C5 =SUM(C1:C4)/B5 This last answer is your GPA.

The MSc International Management/CEMS programme is the only selective master programme, meaning that only the best candidates will be selected for admission. Meeting the minimum admissions criteria does not guarantee a place in this programme.

For all other MSc programmes a rolling admissions process is in place. When you meet the minimum admission requirements, followed the admissions process and adheared to the deadlines, you will be admitted. Please note that for some programmes there is a maximum capacity, meaning that the programme might fill up before the regular application deadline.

If you will not obtain your degree before the application deadline because you will graduate later in the year, your GPA will be calculated based on the results included on your transcript at the time of application.

Once the required literature has been determined orders can be placed via the StudyStore (textbooks and readers) to ensure that students receive their materials on time before the start of the trimester.  It is advisable to include the required literature in the Undergraduate Catalogue text but if this information is known at a later date that we kindly ask that you inform programme management so that they can update the information in the online course catalogue.

Questions about ordering readers and the accompanying copyright regulations can be addressed to the StudyStore. Please also refer to the section entitled 'Copyright' of this online manual.

Textbooks and readers should be ordered well before the start of the trimester in accordance with any deadlines StudyStore, and publishers themselves may require.  The contact information for the StudyStore can be found under the section entitled Who, What, Where.

As far as the cost of required literature, readers, and other learning tools for a specific course is concerned, the general rule to follow is that the price of the required literature should not exceed € 14,- per ECTS. The maximum price that students for a 4 ECTS course can be expected to pay, for example, is € 56,-.

Copyright also plays a role when creating, publishing, and reusing an article, paper, textbook or research materials. Many questions arise when dealing with this topic:  When do the copyright rules apply, and what does this mean for an author or a user of publications? The Copyright information desk provides a lot of useful information to teaching staff members and researchers. The information center is available in the form of a website and a digital environment. More information can be found via https://www.eur.nl/ub/english/informationpoint_copyright/
