During your study

Extracurricular opportunities

In addition to the regular curriculum, Erasmus School of Economics offers students the opportunity to take additional workshops by our partners in practice. For instance, we organise additional soft skills trainings in collaboration with the Big-4 firms. These sessions will help you develop crucial skills that are relevant to your career and provide you with the opportunity to expand your professional network.

The thesis process is also well-structured and integrated into other courses and seminars: you will develop your thesis idea during one of your track-specific seminars and will receive guidance from your assigned thesis supervisor throughout the process. The final block of your programme is entirely dedicated to writing your thesis, which you can combine with a thesis internship at companies.
