Academic home to the ‘First European’

Rotterdam School of Management,

Erasmus University (RSM) is the business

school of the renowned Erasmus University

Rotterdam. Founded in 1913, the

university 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 Dutch 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,

iconoclastic and individual ideas. Among

the leading lights of the Renaissance,

Erasmus is widely referred to today as

the ‘First European’ and serves as the

inspiration for RSM’s focus on thought-

leadership in business.

GAIN A TRULYINTERNATIONAL

INSIGHT INTOBUSINESS ANDMANAGEMENT

At RSM, we define leadership as the ability to be a leader of people and ideas, a philosophy that is reflected in each of our

master programmes. Driven by state-of-the-art research, each programme combines a stimulating intellectual environment

with the opportunity to gain experiences in situations very similar to those you will encounter in the business world: working

and collaborating in diverse groups, conducting indepen dent research, implementing ideas, interacting in international

settings. We take theory and practice and offer you the best of both to enhance your business career.

All our master programmes have the following key features:

A mix of educational formats ranging from case studies and internships to group projects and individual researchu

Small-scale, interactive classes that engage you in debate and discussionu

Being part of a diverse and international student bodyu

Challenging academic theory that reflects the latest business and management thinkingu

Upon graduation you will have an internationally-esteemed qualificationu

Each programme is internationally oriented, taught in English, and tailored to fit the new Bachelor-Master structure

introduced by the Bologna Accord. All master programmes include the writing of a final thesis, which will deepen your

knowledge of research design, methods and skills in the field of management. Additionally, it will help you gain an

understanding of the application of research in various management areas, and enable you to acquire and apply the skills

necessary to write research proposals, including one for your master thesis. The master thesis is your opportunity to test

specific theories in practice – a genuinely challenging and rewarding pursuit. Knowing how to conduct quality research and

formulate your ideas and conclusions in a convincing manner are just some of the skills you will gain from this undertaking.

This is your chance to demonstrate your potential capabilities as a ‘next generation’ manager.

You will find plenty of information about RSM’s master programmes in this brochure and online, including first-hand testimonials

THE RSM EXPERIENCE

EUROPE’S INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS SCHOOL

Students from more than 80 countries worldwide choose to get a foothold in the

business world by studying at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University.

RSM boasts an international student body, and offers exchange oppor tunities,

multinational company internships and constant exposure to the world’s contrasting

business models and practices. RSM is one of a select group of schools with Triple

Crown accreditation from EQUIS (the leading international system of quality

assessment of business schools) AACSB, and the Association of MBAs.

FOUNDED BY BUSINESS MANAGERS

In 1966, a perceived lack of training for managers in the Netherlands inspired Royal

Dutch Shell together with Philips to set up a Foundation for Business Administration

(Stichting Bedrijfskunde), later Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University.

Today, RSM has a full portfolio of pre- and post-experience programmes. With 8,500

students, it has one of Europe’s largest student bodies. The programmes are taught

mostly in English and include bachelor’s, master’s and executive master’s degrees,

PhD, fully-customised in-company programmes, and three flagship MBA programmes.

OUTSTANDING EXPERTISE

Convincing others to follow your vision, making your case irrefutable – these are the

traits of effective managers. Our master programmes employ a number of methods

to help you acquire these competences and include sub-courses in presenting and

debating, interactive teaching methods that encourage discussion and debate in the

classroom, and working in diverse teams.

More than 350 active researchers within Erasmus Research Institute of Management

(ERIM), RSM’s shared research institute, contribute to the improvement of business

practice worldwide in terms of sustainability and profitability. They publish in the

world’s top journals, act as consultants for companies, and teach our students.

WELCOMING HOST COUNTRY

Within easy reach of the continent’s largest markets, with unique access to continental

Europe, and home to the second largest commercial port in the world, Rotterdam has

been a centre for international trade and commerce for centuries. The Netherlands is

a multicultural country where English is widely spoken; it is home to 160 nationalities

as well as major multinational corporations including Philips, Shell and Unilever.

The Dutch are known worldwide as an outward-looking society; accepting of diversity;

quick to embrace innovation; progressive and co-operative. These are all values we

share at RSM and which are embedded in the learning environment. Students with

diverse backgrounds interact comfortably in our programmes, debating, creating and

collaborating in a community of equals.

GLOBAL NETWORKS

All RSM students benefit from the school’s global network. RSM is a member of

The Global Alliance for Management Education (CEMS), and the Partnership in

International Management (PIM), an unparalleled partner school network that gives

our students exchange opportunities at top schools abroad. The school has extensive

business schools and multinational organisations which cannot be equalled in terms of

the reputations of its members: 27 world-class academic institutions collaborate with

more than 70 corporate partners and four NGOs to offer international students a

The combination gives you an excellent foundation to build a management career.

AN ACCELERATED START TO YOURINTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT CAREER

THE IM / CEMS DIFFERENCE

The IM / CEMS at RSM is distinguished by its intensive education and relatively small

class sizes, encouraging students and staff to connect the curriculum to a broad

social context. In IM / CEMS, the intertwining of education and extra-curricular

activities facilitates the achievement of targets, according to NVAO (the Accreditation

Organisation of The Netherlands and Flanders), which has rewarded the IM / CEMS

programme with special recognition for this aspect of the programme.

direct access to recruitment officers from CEMS corporate partners.

The international nature of the programme, its compulsory exchange

international business environment, and the intensity of the programme

means that after your master thesis, you are well-prepared to begin an

international career.

WHAT ARE YOUR PROSPECTS?

You can expect that being part of a highly-motivated class and learning from a

demanding academic programme at one of Europe’s top international business

schools will give you a CV to be proud of.

But the IM / CEMS programme also introduces factors which can accelerate your

chances of early career success. A survey of RSM’s latest graduating cohort proves

that the CEMS network, the highly-international study programme and ‘the CEMS

spirit’ can start to work for you immediately. The results of the survey show that three

months after graduation, 95% of IM / CEMS graduates had found a job, 91% of them in

international companies. The CEMS network helped at least half of our graduates to

find their new jobs, with 40% of them actually finding a first job working for one of

CEMS’ corporate partner companies.

If you have ambitions for an international career, the international focus of the

programme and resulting outcomes cannot be underestimated. RSM IM / CEMS

graduates live and work in 10 different countries; 95% of them speak three or

more languages at a high level. This international aptitude gives our graduates

great flexibility to use their skills wherever there is demand: 60% of IM / CEMS

graduates chose to work outside of their home country, and 62% interact with at

least three different nationalities every day. Typical jobs for IM / CEMS graduates are

in management consulting, consumer goods and the energy sector.

Our graduates are highly satisfied with the early career success they achieved

after graduating from the IM / CEMS programme. More than two-thirds consider

themselves in the top 5% salary bracket for their age group.

is where you really start to gather international experience in a country with which

you are relatively unfamiliar. This is your opportunity to begin building your

international and professional network. The third and final semester is tailored

to help you produce your master thesis, considered to be the culmination of the

IM / CEMS programme. It begins with a research clinic in international management,

followed by academic exploration and development leading to your thesis.

IM / CEMS students spend either the first or second semester at a CEMS partner

university. All partner universities share the same curriculum structure and course

design. A CEMS club at each university helps students to find an active social life,

and promotes the CEMS community spirit.

An intensive one-week block seminar starts the first semester of the IM / CEMS

programme. You take core courses covering the foundation of international

management topics, followed by one or two elective courses. Some students

spend the first semester studying at their exchange destination.

The second semester allows more in-depth theoretical specialisation while studying

and conducting a consultancy-based business project for an international company.

There is scope to tailor courses to a certain functional domain, and tracks can be

Second, through reading many case studiesI developed a ‘nose’ for opportunities. Third, having many guest lectures helped me realise that entrepreneurs arenot ‘super heroes’ and that I too can become one. Fourth, I wrote a business plan for my own venture as part ofone of the elective courses.

MSc IN ORGANISATIONAL CHANGE & CONSULTING

two irreversible societal trends. First, as organisations must

transform themselves to cope with economic upheaval and

social and technological innovation, the demands on

managers to act as change agents are sharply on the rise.

Second, due to downscoping, rightsizing and outsourcing,

organisations are increasingly locked into their current work

routines, implying that they must lean more heavily on profes -

sional knowledge workers to help them improve and maintain

the quality of their changing strategy and operations. This

programme equips you with the insights and skills to become

one of those professional knowledge workers. Our graduates

are individuals who combine intellectual curiosity about the

nature of modern, complex organisations with practical entre -

preneurial skills geared towards changing such social systems.

This programme teaches the analysis of processes ofu

organisational change as a generalist, teaching all the

necessary interpersonal and intercultural skills, and

encompassing strong experiential and skills components;

Small-scale, interactive classes that engage you in debateu

and discussion of material, employing a mix of edu -

cational formats including case studies and internships,

group projects, individual research and skills training;

Interaction with leaders from the public and privateu

sectors, both on and off campus;

A diverse and international student body;u

An enthusiastic teaching faculty from one of the topu

research institutes in Europe.

CAREER PROSPECTS

Your future career prospects will include such diverse

positions as change manager in the public and private

sectors; management consultant; internal consultant in a

leading national or multinational company; entrepreneur,

People from all corners of the world feel at home in Rotterdam. You will find there are no

language barriers as English is widely spoken. With more than 160 nationalities living in

the same area, it is easy to find a shop or restaurant selling the things you use at home.

A major airport and efficient public transport services make Rotterdam exceptionally

well connected. And with European gems like Amsterdam, Brussels, London, Paris and

Berlin close to you, you will find there is plenty to explore.

A LIVELY UNIVERSITY CAMPUS

RSM is situated on the Woudestein Campus – the main campus of Erasmus University

Rotterdam. As part of a multi-faceted, long-term project to further improve the quality

of education that we offer, the campus has been undergoing an extensive construction

programme since the beginning of 2011. It will be re-landscaped and ready for

unveiling as an updated campus complex in 2013, with the new Plaza building

containing student accommodation, underground car parking and a pavilion.

RSM students enjoy the benefits of a rich, multicultural university life that includes

a rich and varied calendar of social events, facilities including a sports complex,

extensive library, expo and congress centre, shops, restaurants, and the popular ‘In

de Smitse’ bar. All master programmes are taught in modern buildings equipped

with wireless internet, multimedia equipment, breakout rooms and computer labs.

AN OUTDOOR, SPORTING CITY

RSM offers many options for physical exercise and sports both on and off campus.

The city of Rotterdam has great sports facilities for everyone at every level; for

those who want to take part and for those preferring to remain a spectator.

The city’s sporting credentials include national and international events all

year round – a marathon, plus tennis, hockey, water sports and speed skating

championships. It also boasts several world-class stadia dedicated to the most

popular sport in the Netherlands, football. You can also take part in less typically

Dutch sports and activities including cricket, baseball, yoga and golf.

Rotterdam can claim to be a great outdoor city too, with abundant parks, green

spaces and a superb network of cycle routes linking it to open countryside,

thanks to the city's emphasis on enabling everyone to get around by bike.
