Free mover possibillities
Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) offers international students who want to add an international dimension to their degrees the possibility to take non-degree courses at our university. In order to do so they will need to apply for admission, which is subject to certain entry requirements. Being in your third year of university is just one of these requirements. Additional requirement may differ per faculty/school. This information is listed on the individual faculty/school websites (please see below).
As a free mover student you will have to arrange much of your stay at EUR by yourself. Your contact person at the faculty/school, however, may assist you throughout the process.
Please note that Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM), Erasmus School of Economics and Erasmus School of Law (ESL) do not accept any free mover students.
