Minors at Erasmus University Rotterdam

At Erasmus University Rotterdam you follow your minor during your third Bachelor year. Would you like to specialize within your own field of expertise? Select a minor offered by your own faculty or study program. Would you like to broaden your academic knowledge? Have a look at minors offered by other faculties. Wish to expand your horizon even further? As of 2014, Erasmus University Rotterdam, TU Delft and Leiden University have opened up their minors to each others students.

Whichever choice you make, by taking a minor you add your own flavor to your academic education.

EUR minor period

At Erasmus University Rotterdam, all minors are offered during the first 10 weeks of the academic year (including final exams). For 2019-2020, this means all minor education takes place between 2 September up to and including 8 November 2019. Minors at EUR are generally 15 ECTS.

From 1 May 13:00 hrs up to and including 15 July 2019 23:59 hrs you can apply for the minors at the EUR. Check the Minor Overview for more information our minors.

This year application for the minors will be on a First Come First Serve base. When the application period opens you can directly register yourself for the minor of your choice. Note; when a minor is full, you can no longer register yourself for that minor.

New available places

Because of our collaboration with TU Delft and Leiden University, we have reserved places in the EUR-minors for students from these universities. However, not all of these places were filled. This means that some minors will be open again for EUR-students from 7 June. Be aware that this is not the case for all minors. Per minor places will be made available, this will be done during the day.

For minors that were full before 7 June, places could become available.
If you wish to register for a different minor, you have to deregister in OSIRIS for the minor you are currently enrolled in, before enrolling in the other one.

Please be aware: it could be the case that another student fills your original spot, after you have deregistered, while in the meantime the new minor of your choice is full.

Did you register for a minor in Leiden or Delft? Then you can change or deregister in OSIRIS Student until 31 May at 23:59h. After this date registering for a minor in Leiden or Delft is no longer possible. Deregistration after this deadline is only possible by contacting the minor coordination through the FAQ's in ASK Erasmus. Please note that it may take up to five 5 business days to process your request.

Register personally

We would like to emphasize that the registration for a minor has to be done personally. Robotization of your registration (e.g. writing a script) will not only have consequences for your registration, but also for the registration of your fellow students.

Cancel your minor?

If you decide to cancel your minor, for example because you are going on exchange or you’ve found an internship position, please remember to deregister for the minor in OSIRIS Student. Otherwise you will occupy a valuable minor place.
