Erasmus School of Economics offers four umbrella Master programmes for students with an Dutch Bachelor degree, each containing several specialisations.
When registering in Studielink, you must apply for the umbrella Master programme rather than a specific specialisation. For example, you should select Master in Economics and Business, not a specialisation such as Financial Economics.
You will be able to select your preferred specialisation later, when completing your application in the EUR Admissions Portal.
Available specialisations under each umbrella Master:
| Economics and Business | Econometrics and Management Science | Accounting Auditing and Control | Fiscale Economie |
|---|---|---|---|
| Behavioural Economics | Analytics and Operations Research In Logistics | Accounting and Auditing | Directe Belastingen |
| Data Science and Marketing Analytics | Data Science for Econometrics | Accounting and Control | Indirecte Belastingen |
| Economics of Sustainability | Econometrics | Accounting and Finance | |
| Financial Economics | Quantitative Finance | ||
| Health Economics | |||
| International Economics | |||
| Marketing | |||
| Policy Economics | |||
| Strategy Economics | |||
| Urban, Port, and Transport Economics |
Please note: All students graduate with the title of the umbrella Master. For example, students who follow the Master in Economics and Business graduate with this diploma name. You do not graduate with a degree titled Master in Financial Economics, for example.
You can submit an application but until you have completed your application by submitting the missing documents before the application deadline your application will not be reviewed.
No, Erasmus School of Economics still only accepts certified TOEFL iBT, Cambridge C1 Advanced, Cambridge C2 or Academic IELTS Test Score Reports.
If you application is complete with all required documents you will be informed about the outcome of your application within 6 weeks.
You can change your decision until 31 August.
Non-EU students studying in the Netherlands for more than 90 days, need to be aware that they are obliged to apply for a student entry visa and/or Dutch residence permit. This procedure starts in April and needs to be completed by 15 June.
Without this specific student visa and/or student residence permit, you will not be enrolled in our University. If you decide to cancel and have already started the immigration procedure please contact the immigration office of the Erasmus School of Economics via osc-visa@ese.eur.nl.
