Erasmus University College (EUC) welcomes applicants who are highly motivated, academically strong, and curious and open-minded.
We strive for a diverse student body who are committed to expanding their intellectual horizons through a Liberal Arts & Sciences education. We evaluate applicants holistically, focusing not only on academic track record but also on motivation for the programme.
Am I eligible for admission?
To be eligible for admission to EUC, you need to meet two sets of requirements:
- the admission requirements for Erasmus University Rotterdam
- Erasmus Univeristy College's requirements for your secondary school diploma
Please make sure to check your results against both of these lists.
At the bottom of this page, you will find a list of admission requirements per secondary school diploma. If your diploma is not on the list, then don’t hesitate to contact our admissions office, as you may still be eligible for admission.
Additional tests
EUC students require proficiency in both mathematics and English due to our curriculum. If you don't meet the requirements, then there are several additional tests that you can take to demonstrate your academic capabilities.
Please note that for some diplomas, these additional tests are part of the regular requirements. You can check if this applies to your diploma in the list below.
You can take the OMPT-A if you don't meet the mathematics requirement. Required score: minimum score of 70%.
An OMPT-A test score older than two years is no longer considered valid by EUC.
You can take one of five tests if you don't meet the English requirement. Required scores:
- TOEFL-iBT: 100 with minimum subscores of 20. You can use the institution code C217 to have your score report sent to us.
- IELTS Academic: 7,0 with minimum subscores of 6,0
- C2 Proficiency or C1 Advanced: minimum overall score of 185
- Pearson: 75 with minimum subscores of 65.
- LanguageCert: 75 with minimum subscores of 65.
In all cases, test scores older than two years are no longer considered valid by EUC.
EUC does not accept Duolingo English tests as proof of English Proficiency.
You can take one of these tests if you don't meet the average grade requirement. Please note that the SAT or ACT cannot compensate the minimum diploma requirements of the Erasmus University Rotterdam.
- SAT: minimum score of 1170. You can use the college code 7443 to have your score report sent to us.
- ACT: minimum composite score of 27. You can use the college code 7819 to have your score report sent to us.
In all cases, test scores older than two years are no longer considered valid by EUC.
Please note that the above-mentioned scores don't automatically qualify you for admission to EUC. We evaluate applicants holistically and on an individual basis.
An SAT or ACT cannot supplement the OMPT-A or an EUC-approved English proficiency test.
Motivation letter
We would like to hear why you are motivated to study at EUC. In your application letter, please provide us with examples of your academic and non-academic interests and how they align with a Liberal Arts & Sciences education. This helps us understand if our programme is a good fit for you.
Your motivation letter (in English, maximum 600 words, please use the template that you can download below) should answer the following questions:
- What makes you a good candidate for successfully pursuing a Liberal Arts & Sciences degree?
- Why do you want to study Liberal Arts & Sciences at EUC?
- What additional information would you like the admissions officers to know when considering your application? (excluded from the word count)
