Electives

Students from outside Erasmus School of Economics  who wish to study elective courses at our faculty, can choose either bachelor-2 and/or bachelor-3 courses. Per student, there is a maximum of 12 ECTS (credits) you can take as an elective. It is the student’s responsibility to have sufficient prior knowledge for taking this course and he/she is to have a letter in which his/her Examination Board confirms that this elective course can be incorporated in his/her bachelor curriculum.

However, the options for non-Dutch students are limited due to several exemptions. It is not possible to:

• Choose a bachelor-1 course
• Choose courses which are part of the bachelor Fiscale Economie
• Choose major seminars
• Choose courses which have an X-code
• Choose master courses
• Choose master seminars
