Student services, facilities and activities

Erasmus University Rotterdam does its utmost to offer first-class on-campus facilities, student services and extracurricular activities. Students are offered various resources needed to work on their academic and social development which give depth to their studies. We believe that this is an important factor in academic success.

Student services

Alongside excellent facilities for studying, Erasmus University offers students additional support in many different ways to ensure that their time spent studying at the university is as enjoyable and convenient as possible. Services include: enrolment assistance, on student counseling, language support, to name but a few.

Erasmus University Rotterdam aspires to be an excellent and inspiring study and work environment for students. There are a number of facilities like bookstores, restaurants and even a bank that you can find right here on the campus.
Erasmus University Rotterdam encourages its international students to participate in wide variety of extracurricular activities. International students can join in on activities organized by study and sports associations, student fraternities and political/cultural student organisations.

The department of Student Affairs offers a wide range of courses, workshops, groups and training sessions for students of the Erasmus University Rotterdam throughout the academic year. The courses are supportive and additional to the regular study programme.
