Programme specific information

It is very fruitful to familiarize yourself with the content of the programme before the academic year. Below you can have a look at the recommended reading list and suggestions for the programme you are admitted to.

Reading list for Masters in Psychology

Reading list for Masters in Sociology

Practical matters

In the Netherlands (also known as Holland), higher education is subsidised, which means that tuition fees can be kept relatively low, especially compared to the United Kingdom and the United States. Because of this, we do not have an extensive scholarship programme. This does not mean we do not have them at all though, so make sure to take a look. 

More information about the start of the academic year, preparation, introduction, timetable, etc. will follow in the welcome message (from August) after you have fully registered.

  • Please find the Academic calendar here.

Within two weeks after the status of your enrolment in Studielink has changed to "enrolled", you will receive a digital student card and you can download a proof of enrolment.

The timetable for the upcoming academic year will be available around mid-August. In the meantime, you can visit the EUR Course Guide to find more information about the courses in your study programme and have a look the timetable of the current academic year. Keep in mind that this might be different next year.

All compulsory literature can be found in the course description.  

On MyEUR ESSB you will find all the information you need if you are fully enrolled as a student and are about to start your studies. 

For example, the following information can be found on MyEUR ESSB: 

  • BSA (binding study advice) 
  • Compensation scheme 
  • Resits 
  • Register for exams 
  • Rules and Regulations 

The letter of admission you receive from us is valid for one year, except for a master in Psychology. In case you wish to start our master programme one year later, we will be happy to postpone your admission – but only once. You only need to re-apply next academic year and add the scan of the offer of admission you received (the email with the offer of admission).  

If you decide to re-apply for another year, we can assure you, that you won't be competing with other applicants. You have already been admitted to our programme, therefore admission will be granted to you again if you decide to re-apply. 

The above mentioned is not applicable for a master programme in Psychology.

Student housing in the Netherlands is not arranged for you by the university. This is your own responsibility. 

However, there are reserved spots for about 25% of the yearly incoming international students at Erasmus University Rotterdam. To help you get started, there is a webinar organised on the Rotterdam housing market that you can review online, you can click through the reserved housing options and other accommodation providers. 

We strongly advise you to start looking for accommodation as soon as possible to avoid stress and disappointment.
