Each year, Erasmus University Rotterdam offers almost 100 minors. This includes nearly 70 broadening minors and more than 20 deepening minors.
With a broadening minor you broaden your horizon, with a deepening minor you specialize within your own field of expertise. The Erasmus MC also offers deepening minors with a stay abroad. We also offer selection minors, for which is special selection procedure in place. Be advised: a different application period is in place for the deepening minors with a stay abroad and the selection minors. NB: due to the coronavirus it is still possible that a number of stays abroad of the ErasmusMC deepening minors may be canceled. In that case, the coordinators of the relevant minor(s) will make every effort to offer an attractive alternative program.
