The 2021-2022 tuition fee for the MSc programmes is approximately €18,700 per year. The Dutch government contributes towards this cost for students who hold nationality from a country belonging to the European Economic Area (EEA). These students, therefore, pay only the statutory fee of €2,168 per year. Please note that tuition fees are subject to change.

For EEA nationals who have already completed a master in the Netherlands (and obtained the diploma) the tuition fee for a 2nd master is €12,300.

The MSc International Management - CEMS (18 months) is a longer programme, therefore the tuition fee will have to be paid for the duration of the programme. The expected tuition fee for the 18-month MSc International Management - CEMS programme is approximately €28,050 for non-EEA students and approximately €3,252 for EEA students. Please note that tuition fees are subject to change.

Most of RSM's education and research takes place on the Erasmus University’s Woudestein campuswhich is practically a self-contained city with food courts, a grocery store, a bike repair shop, gym and sports facilities, and even a hairdresser.

RSM has a dedicated team of student advisers, where you can access professional help, advice and guidance during your studies. The student advisers are independent in their advising. They always take into account the special circumstances and needs of individual students. 


International students from more than 80 countries make up 65 per cent of the student population at RSM.

Since RSM is a part of Erasmus University, there are many opportunities to get involved with a wide variety of student organisations, which not allows you to pursue your interests but also collaborate and meet students from other faculties.

One of the most popular study associations among our students is RSM’s STAR. STAR is Europe's largest study association with more than 6,500 members! Its 270 dedicated members coordinate around 450 events that not only connect students-to-students but also students with a broad range of companies. For example, there is the RSM STAR Case Competition, in which twelve teams from top business schools worldwide come to Rotterdam to compete by presenting their solution cases to real-life businesses, like Nike.

There are many ways to get involved with STAR and other student organisations at Erasmus University where you can learn to put into practice what you study while at RSM.

Housing

Although a complete and useful overview of housing information for International Students can be found on the housing pages of the Erasmus University, the information below especially applies to RSM’s first year BScIBA and MSc students coming from abroad.

As in many major European cities, the demand for reasonably priced housing in Rotterdam is very high. Therefore, make it your number one priority and start searching immediately after being conditionally or unconditionally admitted to our BScIBA or one of the MSc programmes. As campus housing is limited, you may have to look for a room on the private market or seek other alternatives. 


For the admission criteria for the programme of your interest, please visit our admissions page.

RSM offers a limited number of scholarships for excellent applicants from non-EEA countries. Various scholarship programmes which are accessible to MSc applicants are mentioned in the Scholarship finder.
