Tutoring organisations

There are a number of (typically student-run) organisations that organise examination-prep and crash-courses, distribute readers, and make a profit by charging students fees for their services. We do not promote these organisations in our communication with students, and we simply ask that teaching staff members be aware of their existence and alert to any (mis)use of materials (such as old examinations that are used as practice materials, lecture slides taken from Blackboard and distributed during these courses or recopied in readers, etc.). Some organisations have been reprimanded in the past for illegal use of the RSM logo or illegal reproduction of lecture slides and other copyrighted materials. If you think that an organisation or company is making illegal use of your materials please contact Programme Management.

Wat is het verschil tussen Bedrijfskunde (Business Administration) en International Business Administration (IBA)?

De opleiding Bedrijfskunde is in het Nederlands en bij IBA worden alle colleges in het Engels gegeven. Het curriculum van Bedrijfskunde is bijna hetzelfde als het IBA programma. Het verschil is dat in bepaalde onderdelen van het IBA curriculum het internationale karakter nadrukkelijker naar voren komt. Daarnaast is minimaal 50 procent van de IBA studenten van buitenlandse afkomst en geschiedt de toelating van de IBA studenten via een selectie. In de tweede helft van het derde Bachelor jaar zullen de Bedrijfskunde studenten samen met de IBA studenten Engelstalig onderwijs volgen.

Non-EEA students - RSM non-EEA Scholarship of Excellence (MSc)

1. In brief

For the academic year 2017-2018, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM) will grant several partial scholarships, depending on the quality of the applicants, for selected students from non-EEA countries who are not entitled to pay the EEA tuition fee and whose grades in their previous programmes are considered ‘excellent’. The value of the partial scholarship is between 30-70% of the full non-EEA tuition fee. This scholarship is meant for prospective students only (thus, this scholarship is not meant for currently enrolled RSM and EUR students), excluding HBO pre-master students.

2. For whom?

Prospective students (thus, this scholarship is not meant for currently enrolled RSM and EUR students) of the following MSc programmes can apply:

In principle, a fair distribution of scholarships over the various MSc programmes will take place. This principle may be deviated from and priority may be given to applicants for certain MSc programmes.

Application for the scholarship is open for prospective MSc students, starting their studies in the academic year 2017/2018, from all non-EEA countries, provided they would be charged the non-EEA tuition fee.

The school may give preference to students with one of the following nationalities:

Brazilian
Russian
Indian
Chinese
Taiwanese/Korean/Filipino
Indonesian/Vietnamese/Thai
Iranian/Iraqi
Azerbaijani/Georgian
Turkish
African (all countries)
Mexican

Additionally, the school may strive for a certain distribution over the continents.

Applicants cannot be recipients of any other scholarships exceeding the amount of 5.000 euro in total in that same academic year.

3. For which year?

The scholarship will be awarded for one academic year (12 months).

For the remaining months of the MSc International Management-CEMS programme (18 months) and the MScBA Master in Management programme (16 months) the regular tuition fee apply for non-EEA Master students. Students should be aware that they will need to have sufficient means to cover the study costs of the remaining programme.

4. Excellence

Excellence for applicants with a Bachelor of Science from Dutch universities is proven if the average grade over the entire programme at the time of application is at least 8.0/10.

Additionally, a GMAT score of at least 700 is required – also for applicants from schools and/or programmes exempt for GMAT for admission.

Excellence for applicants with a Bachelor of Science from non-Dutch universities is proven if the average grade over the entire programme at the time of application is at least the equivalent of the Dutch grade of 8.0 on the Dutch grading scale 1 – 10.

The Scholarship Committee will decide on the local grade equivalents for the Dutch grade of 8.0 using the grade information included in (a.o.) the Nuffic country modules.

Additionally, a GMAT score of at least 700 is required – also for applicants from schools and/or programmes exempt for GMAT for admission.

Please note that we can only take a scholarship application into consideration if it is complete and meets all of the requirements. This includes a minimum GMAT test score of 700.

5. When to apply?

Applicants for MSc (except for the MSc International Management-CEMS) can apply for the scholarship any moment between 15 October 2016 and 1 March 2017.

Applicants for the MSc International Management-CEMS can apply for the scholarships any moment between 15 October 2016 and 31 January 2017.

6. Application procedure

When applying for the Master programme in the online application form (OLAF) you will be asked to upload documents which will be used for evaluating your application. During this process you can also upload your scholarship application letter. The application letter should include the following information;

an explanation why you would need a scholarship, comprising a description of the students financial situation
an explanation why you would deserve a scholarship, comprising a description of academic excellence and if applicable other merits
if applicable: scanned copies of other scholarships granted (later on you will be asked to provide a certified copy)
a signed statement indicating that other scholarships awarded do not exceed the amount of 5.000 euro in total
scanned copies of the grade list to date, as available at the moment of application (normally already part of your application package). Later on in the process you will be asked to provide a certified copy

Please note that we can only take a scholarship application into consideration if it is complete and meets all of the requirements. This includes a scholarship application letter.

7. How does it work?

For the academic year 2017-2018, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM) will grant two to three partial scholarships, depending on the quality of the applicants. The value of the partial scholarship is between 30-70% of the full non-EEA tuition fee.

The scholarship takes the form of a waiver being the amount of money that will be subtracted from the full non-EEA tuition fee (€ 17,300).

The student will receive the scholarship for one academic year. The non-EEA tuition fee for non-EEA Master students will apply for the remaining period of study.

For the scholarship, no actual transmission of money takes place.

The scholarship part of the non-EEA tuition fee will be subtracted from the full non-EEA tuition fee before the start of the academic year, enabling the beholder to immediately pay the reduced tuition fee; either at once or in instalments.

By accepting this scholarship you agree to assist the RSM Recruitment and Admissions Office as an Ambassador with promotional and support activities for approximately 8 hours per month during the academic year.

8. Decisions

The decisions on the award of the scholarship will be made by the RSM Scholarship Committee. This scholarship committee will determine award recipient(s) on 15 April 2017.

9. Information

The RSM Scholarship Committee can be contacted through our contact form: www.rsm.nl/contactmsc

You must include the diploma statement in your application. This statement must be filled in by your school counselor or school representative. If you have already graduated at the time of applying, the statement is not required.
Ensure that the levels of all subjects are clearly indicated (HL, SL, A or B) including Mathematics and languages on the diploma statement.
Clearly indicate if the entire IB programme is taught in English.
If you follow multiple education systems and obtain more than one diploma (for instance, International Baccalaureate (IB) and American High School Diploma or the International Baccalaureate (IB) and your home country’s diploma), your application will be evaluated based on one diploma type. Also note that if you have or obtain both an IB diploma and a diploma from your home country that is not equivalent to the Dutch pre-university (VWO) diploma, your application will be assessed using the requirements for the IB diploma.
In the application you must submit official grade lists signed by your mentor or school representative. Screenshots or self-made Word/Excel documents with your grades will not be accepted. Ensure that RSM can clearly understand how the grades were determined if your school uses a different grading system or calculations.
If you have not received your official IB diploma yet, RSM can verify your IB exam results online via the IBO website. This verification process can only be done if you have granted permission to Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM), using the institute code: 034892.

Do I have to pay a handling fee?

All applicants who have earned their diploma outside of the Netherlands, pay a handling fee of €100 upon submitting their application. The Online Application Form will automatically determine whether you are required to pay the fee or not. This fee can be paid online using the Erasmus Payment System. This system offers applicants the possibility to pay using either iDEAL (for those with a Dutch bank account) or PayPal (which can be linked to any bank account or credit card worldwide). It is important that applicants complete the payment process as indicated, otherwise the system cannot register the payment. The fee is non-refundable. Applications without successful payment of the fee cannot be submitted and will therefore not be processed.

We strongly advise you not to submit your application at the last minute! Paying the handeling fee is not always instant. Do not miss the deadline because your payment was not processed on time!
