Rotterdam Arts & Sciences Lab (RASL) is a collaboration between EUC, ESPhil, IBACS, Codarts and Willem de Kooning Academy which lets students combine a Bachelor’s degree at EUR with a degree in fine arts or music.
RASL's mission is to strengthen the artistic profile of Rotterdam by combining artistic and scientific practices in relation to societal challenges. They strive to be a catalyst for interdisciplinary research by combining existing and new research fields within the artistic domain.
The Dual Degree programme
For the first time in the Netherlands, you can develop both your academic knowledge and your artistic skills in a five-year Dual Degree programme, combining a Bachelor of Science at EUC and a Bachelor from either Codarts (Music) or Willem de Kooning Academy (Arts).
After this programme you will be able to address complex and multidimensional challenges, by approaching issues from different angles. In addition, your artistic practices will benefit from your theoretical knowledge about the arts, media and culture, while your theoretical work is fueled by your experience as an artist.

Applying to the Dual Degree with Arts programme
As a dual degree student, you will have to apply to both institutes of your choice. Each institute has its own specific admission requirements and process.
Here is an overview of the admissions requirements for the different programmes::
- EUC Admission Requirements
- Codarts Admission Requirements (depending on department of chosen study)
- Willem de Kooning Admission Requirements
