Erasmus School of Economics

Excellence in education and research has led to the reputation of Erasmus School of Economics, nationally and internationally. Above all, the quality of research and the research-driven education are our most valuable assets that we maintain and nurture.

With our research we seek to contribute to the solutions that must be found today. With our education we teach our students to do the same tomorrow, fostering academic leadership potential from the start. As a direct consequence, we also put strong emphasis on additional skills: curiosity (ask questions), flexibility (create by combining the known and the new), open-mindedness, and creativity (step into the unknown).

Erasmus School of Economics has a strong international focus, which is reflected in our academic staff and student population. Students and staff members come from all over the world. We stimulate them to be citizens of the world, in a geographical, intellectual, and social way. This means stepping beyond the borders of cities and nations, cultural background, gender and religion, altogether with a willingness to act upon the values of a compass that rules out bias and prejudice.

Our brand value is set by tens of thousands of alumni, who are making the difference as leaders of today. The presence of our alumni at our School is set by inviting them to numerous programmes and events, allowing students and alumni to interact, to discuss career development and networking activities.

With a history of almost 110 years, we feel grateful for the effect and relevance of our groundbreaking research and excellence in education! We are confident that our School will secure its place as a worldwide leading academic brand in economics and econometrics in the years to come.
