Program Overview

About Erasmus University Rotterdam

Founded in 1913, Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) is home to the first Nobel Prize winner in the Economic Sciences, Jan Tinbergen. Erasmus University Rotterdam takes its name from Desiderius Erasmus, the great classical scholar and 16th century Dutch Renaissance humanist, theologian and philosopher. One of the foremost thinkers and doers of his time and a widely-travelled scholar, he is recognised for his open-minded, sceptical and individual ideas.

EUR is an internationally oriented research university with a strong social orientation in its teaching and research and it has been in existence in its present form since 1973. EUR has seven faculties and has concentrated its education and research in four areas of expertise: Health, Wealth, Governance and Culture, in which the University enjoys international recognition.
