administration and health, strengthened by law, social sciences, history and arts
and philosophy, the EUR will be navigating its own course in the coming years as:
• melting pot for talent with
• excellent Dutch and English-language bachelor’s programmes as the
basis for leading international master’s specialisations at the interface
of economics, health and society

• firmly rooted in Rotterdam
• for students in every phase of their lives and from various cultural
backgrounds

FOCUS ON A SELECT NUMBER OF
DISCIPLINES
EUR houses a select number of disciplines, with
a concentration in the areas of Medicine and
Health, Economics and Business Administration,
Law, Culture and Society. The university derives
its strength from excellent education and
research in the individual areas and from
challenging connections between these
disciplines, as well as substantive cooperation
with institutions for higher vocational education
(HBO).

Erasmus wants to contribute to answering the questions posed by
society. EUR strives to be a
proud, impact-driven university that offers
excellent academic education for all phases of
life within a focused, recognisable profile. The
university will produce knowledge on an
internationally competitive level and implement
this knowledge in its own region, nationally and
internationally. Valorisation is an obvious task of
education and research. This is manifested in a
broad range of activities and innovations that
have a direct effect on people and society.
Rotterdam is EUR’s natural biotope. The
university functions as a laboratory for the city
and vice versa. The international and culturally
diverse characters of EUR and the city make
studying and working here a unique experience.
