Rotterdam is the second largest city of the Netherlands, with over 600,000 citizens, while the population of the greater Rotterdam region is around 1.2 million. This all started when a dam was built in the river ‘Rotte’ in 1270. The city was granted a charter in 1340. In the 15th century, Rotterdam produced perhaps its most famous son: Desiderius Erasmus, one of the founders of Humanism. Erasmus University Rotterdam is named after this philosopher.
Erasmus University Rotterdam is a home base for around 28.000 students, of which around 5.000 are international students, and every year the numbers are increasing.
Erasmus University Rotterdam can be reached in many ways. Public transport in The Netherlands is well organised: the trams, buses and metro are scheduled to link perfectly. You can travel easily from and to the main airports of The Netherlands (Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and Rotterdam/The Hague Airport) by public transport.
