Erasmus University College (EUC)

Erasmus University College was launched by Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) in September 2013. In a residential, intensive and small-group educational context, set in the centre of Rotterdam, EUC offers a Bachelor’s degree programme in Liberal Arts & Sciences for up to 650 international, diverse and highly qualified students. EUC has over 75 staff members and works closely with over 50 Fellows from other schools and faculties of EUR.

EUC recognizes the general underpinnings of liberal arts education: to provide students breadth and depth in their academic programmes, ensuring broad knowledge of culture, science and society, as well as in-depth study in a specific area of interest. For this, EUC offers its students an inspiring Academic Core programme as well as a dozen majors offered from four academic departments: Life Sciences, Economics & Business, Social & Behavioural Sciences, and Humanities.

Erasmus University College is characterised by: 

• Small groups and active learning: the bachelor programme is offered primarily within the small group and intensive context of problem-based learning combined with academic skills training. This aspect, together with the residential setting, gives our students the opportunity to learn, live, study and grow as part of a small community within a metropolitan university setting. 
• A broad, yet focused programme: EUC’s curriculum reflects the expertise of EUR as a whole. The main elements of the EUC curriculum are thus fed by the (research-based) strengths of the university. This guarantees a good connection with various master programmes at Erasmus University and other universities. At EUC, education in languages and (performing) arts is offered in the extracurricular programme and in a double-degree programme with partners. 
• Its location: EUC’s educational building and student residence are located in the city centre of Rotterdam. Rotterdam is a buzzing cradle of innovation as well as a microcosm of the challenges that our world faces. It is therefore a unique home for a university college, where students can work in total concentration but where the noise of the streets is never far away.
• A focus on guiding students to become critical world citizens, by aiming for societal change and a commitment to inclusion and diversity.
