Welcome to the ESE minor website

What is a minor?

The Erasmus School of Economics offers minors in the first block (week 36 until week 45) of the academic year. A minor is a coherent combination of courses of 15 credits in total and is meant to be a valuable addition to your regular study curriculum. We offer broadening and deepening minors. You can a broadening minor to obtain knowledge about new subjects. You can take a broadening minor at another Faculty as well. A deepening minor is a specialisation within your own bachelor’s programme. This means that you take a minor at your own Faculty.
ESE-students who follow a minor at the ESE can also take this for 12 credits instead of 15 credits.
